The only thing worth doing now is to go after Obama/McCain hammer and tong
as Nader/Gonzalez is doing.
Obama is a fake who has voted for every war funding bill that has come up.
Is that not education enough?

p.s. The "National Assembly" is the same old, same old - tired coalition.
Where are the Libertarians and Paleocons? They form a much greater
percentage of those opposed to war than do the socialists. Again the "Left"
is putting its agenda ahead of ending the war and opposing empire, for we
have stauch allies on the right to do this.
