The Green State of the Union

Minneapolis' own Natalie Johnson Lee, city council member from the Green Party, steps up to offer the real state of the union. Part rebuttal, part GP party platform, it's a welcome bit of spunk from a party on the mend. Johnson Lee is such a forceful, eloquent speaker, it makes me wonder if such a high-profile national gig means she's the Green Party's Nader in training. Let's hope so.

Bush is no reluctant warrior, he is a warmongering draft-dodger, and together with a weak and compliant Democratic Party in Congress, he is threatening American interests.  

The President claims the inspections have failed. He is wrong. In fact, his attempts to drum up a war fever are what has failed.
