<br>About 20 people attended. Anna phoned in from Washington,<br>the Republican didn't show up. Tian was there.<br><br>Carol was poised, composed, confident, and inspiring.<br><br>Anna gave her usual blather--"talk, talk, talk, I did this, I did <br>that, it's such a privilege to serve, we have such a great<br>future... blah blah.... okay, is it safe to stop now, or will you <br>notice that I didn't answer the question?"<br><br>Anna made claims that she has made significant contributions<br>to the defense of the Constitution in her committees, and 50 <br>years from now when the docs are declassified we'll know <br>what a hero she was. <br><br>I submitted three questions. They didn't read one asking Anna<br>to defend her gutless complicity in Bush's 8-year war on the<br>values of democracy, and they didn't read one asking Carol <br>how (and if) she distances herself from anti-semitism in the<br>9/11 Truth movement. <br><br>Afterwards, Carol tried to dismiss the antisemitism issue as <br>mere semantics. She needs a better answer than that. Tian<br>and I both pointed out that Carol's pitch ended with a her <br>self-description as a truth-seeker when it should have ended <br>with "Vote for me." (I'd put it "Vote for me, and here's why.")<br><br>In safe races where there's no danger of unseating the liberal, <br>voters are free to vote Green without fear of unintended <br>consequences, and we should be aggressively going after <br>30,000 votes to show the Democrats that smug, hack, gutless <br>politics are not acceptable. <br><br><br><br /><hr />Stay up to date on your PC, the Web, and your mobile phone with Windows Live. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/MRT/go/msnnkwxp1020093185mrt/direct/01/' target='_new'>See Now</a></body>
