THE REAL LEFT

Alive and kickin'. Check it out. I liked this article. It's against Kerry. It notes that:

Where have all the protestors gone? Where have all the “libertarian” intellectuals gone? They have effectively channeled into supporting the pro-war, pro-Sharon candidacy of John Kerry.


And

“Anybody but Bush” is a short term “solution” which sacrificed the tactical and strategic possibilities of the mass movements of 1999-2002. What makes the capitulation of the Left intellectuals even more tragic is the fact that a bona fide third party choice does exist: Ralph Nader and Peter Comejo. Nader/Comejo are campaigning energetically and courageously for everything that Seattle and the anti-war movement fought for before their leaders capitulated to Kerry: opposition to US wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, defense of Venezuelan sovereignty against the Kerry-Bush promoted coup, powerful defense of the Palestinians against Israeli state terror, and for a national public health program with universal coverage.


And an especially good point here:

Black Democratic politicians and religious notables are silent as Kerry totally ignores black workers’ demands and channels all of his attention to what he calls “middle class” (white) voters.


For the record, I'd take Ralph Nader over John Kerry by a long shot.
