This is yet another of Carey Campbell lies he is not a member of the Green Party nor does he have access to sources who would know who is invited.

Campbell, Gail Parker and the rest of the Indy Greens of Virginia have repeatedly attempted to pose as members and leaders of the Green Party, as well as pretending when beneficial that there party is the Virginia affiliate of the GP (which it is not)

The Indy Greens have a long history of misrepresenting facts and claiming candidates which are not Indy Greens. In another post on this site Campbell misleadingly referred to Independent candidate Carol Miller from New Mexico (also a past GP candidate) as an Indy Green. There is no such thing except in Virginia.

Campbell’s lies, false claims, and delusions are a blight on an otherwise wonderful site.

Invited by “members” of a “state Green Party”. So the invitation was clearly not from the national party, nor from a state party. Just “members” of a state party. The Independent Green Party of Virginia is NOT a “state Green Party”. It is affiliated with the Independence Party. They should stop pretending to be Greens.

“She left the democratic party , but is now running as a candidate for a subsidiary of the same party. Its sad to see her being duped by these stealth dem operatives.”

Stealth Dem operatives? A subsidiary of the Democratic Party? Let me guess. It’s all because of your perception of Cobb’s campaign strategy in 2004, isn’t it?

If the Greens were a subsidiary of the Democrats, then why did they fight so hard to keep us off the ballot in Illinois in 2006? Why did Rich Whitney run such a great campaign for Governor and get more than 10% of the vote? Why do Greens all across the country keep running for local, state, and national offices?

Typical sectarian leftism. If something isn’t 100% perfect, then it’s worthless garbage, end of story.

The Reform Party was Ross Perot and never really a political party. He created it for his 1996 campaign and it entered the terminal stage when the election was over. During this period. it was used by Ventura and later Buchanan , because the Reform Party has legal political party status. Without ballot status in any state, it is officially dead.

The Green Party had its fifteen minutes in 2k. I can’t help but note the irony of Mckinney running as a green. She left the democratic party , but is now running as a candidate for a subsidiary of the same party. Its sad to see her being duped by these stealth dem operatives.

Don’t expect Barr to remain a libertian once the election is over.

Hopefully, Nader, Barr & Mckinney will exceed expectations

The Reform Party is dead thanks to Pat Buchannan. Jesse should join the Greens.

Imperato and Schriner are not recognized candidates by the Green Party.

Imp endorsed Barr at the LP convention according to tpw, going to the GP convention now makes or ever makes no sense.

Nothing that Imperato does makes any sense. From meeting him at the convention, most of the delegates walked out with a clear opinion: Daniel Imperato has a serious mental illness.

I was really disappointed with Jesse Ventura’s last appearance on Larry King. He said several times that because he didn’t like either McCain or Obama, “there is no one for me to vote for.” In previous appearances he mentioned both Barr, Nader, and the Green Party. Why is he now accepting the false dichotomy?

That said, I think it would be good for the GP to court Jesse Ventura. He agrees with the Greens on many issues. And he has a lot of media access. Even to have him mentioning the Greens (e.g., in his appearances on Larry King) would bring welcome attention.

Watch out for the Independent Green as a stealth campaign of the Frank MacKay Independence Party. They are currently doing ‘a number’ on the ‘Deform’ Party with John Blare’s assistance.

More ‘Deform Noose’ the web site deep Reform Party Action Group no longer has a web site! slides to a ‘notice’!

Nothing wrong with the Greens inviting him. I imagine some of them will even be supporting him in my own Minnesota, if he runs for Senate and they do not have a candidate this year. I think a Ventura Presidential run is highly unlikely and more than a little late and problematic at this point. His best bet is to run for Senate and have a moderate chance at winning the seat as an Independence Party-Libertarian candidate or small i independent.

Sigh. Ventura would have been a ray of hope. I could handle voting for him.
