6. Yes they were.
We are lucky to still have Barbara Lee as a US representative. She stood literally by herself as a Black American woman to oppose an eager rush to war which we now see as yet one more power grab.

Hopefully Cynthia McKinney will join ranks again as well. These women are true Americans, are not ruled by fear or self-interest, and know the true meaning of dedication to the truth.

10. It was the most hurtful thing when I heard that democrats were working
against her re-election. I can understand republicans doing so. But when democrats refuse to help and even do you in because they are afraid that you offend republicans (which is what it really amounts to), things are pretty bad.

We all screamed that she was right because she was. All she said was some questions needed to be asked and answered about 9-11. Anybody here object to that? I don't think so,

17. gee, i've heard they were an opposition party.
even more ironic that the greens worked to help a real democrat in her fight against a faux-democrat. try wrapping you mind around that!

19. what you're not grasping
is that what those Greens were really doing was burdening the party with its own supporters. The sooner we can jettison the left, the sooner we can be, like, really successful and shit...at something...damned black people...activist elites...generic grumpiness...;-)

22. whoa
In fact when McKinney was doing what she did this was when I first learned about Kucinich :), he wasnt as adamant I think as she but they were together on this. Anyways thats how I first learned of DK. BTW I saw McKinney speak and she was great.

16. if I was to define "patriot"
then brave souls such as these encapsulate the true meaning of the word..to stand and loudly proclaim that you do not wish to see any more deaths in pursuit of the "war on terror"..is to be admired..

18. Fine Point
The real patriots are those fighting the mob. Its easy to be a part of the mob.
