Way back in 2000, in the good ole days before Presidents were selected by the Supreme Court and by whatever means necessary, after giving Ralph my cartoon, (Inside the card, it said, "Wish you the best. Hope to see you in the White House.") -- I told him that the Little Savage® was giving her full support to his candidacy, Even my mother an arch conservative, a lifelong Republican actvist,planned to vote for him. He asked, "What convinced her ?" I said it was the issues of the corporate control of the media that put her over the edge., plus the fact that he was blocked from participating in the debates. My Mother said, "That's not democracy."

Instead of Party affiliations, perhaps we need more Parties! And coalition building on issues. Like I heard Noam Chomsky once called himself a Libertarian Socialist. How does that work? Perhaps we could form a real "Coaltion of Opposition" to the Corportacracy, get together with Greens, Disenfranchised Dems, Repubs, Purples, Red White and Blues, Libertarians, and form a Party with the sole intent of election reform. After we get what we want -- opening the door to third party candidates and representative Democracy -- the Coalition could dissolve or go back to fighting each other or fight for common causes. Hmmm, just a thought.
