Listen to this podcast this if you want to understand where the Green Party is today... and why the national quagmire, wars, and lies continue.

Here is the description of the program:
"Most Americans want policies neither party has offered them: an end to the occupation of Iraq; return to the rule of law and constitutional protections; workable health care; decent paying jobs; a clean and safe environment; energy security — in short, the replacement of monied special interests by public spirited actors. Internationally, similar preferences have translated into electoral success for Green parties. Here in the U.S., not so much. Why not? According to John Murphy, a Green Party activist from Pennsylvania, Greens have been co-opted by the Democrats, who are more interested in winning elections than in implementing socially progressive policies. I think John's right, and I also think his prescription of what to do about it makes sense. This one starts with some dry procedural nuts and bolts but soon moves into lively, interesting territory. Total runtime an hour and nine minutes. Listen and participate!"
