Illinois Greens fight for ballot

Check out this story from the Daily Southtown:

"Yet the Green Party remains trapped in the quicksand both parties sprinkle at democracy's doorstep. Borrowing a quote from the brusque muscleman Mr. T, we should pity the fool who runs for office."

When those raging Kossacks bash Greens for taking money from Republicans to get on the Pennsylvania ballot, they neglect the reason it takes that money to do so is because of the ridiculous hurdles they've erected to keep third party candidates out of the democratic process.

Nor the huge amounts of money they spend challenging independent and third party challenges. What Democrats did to Ralph Nader is 2004 is what you could reasonably expect from a dictatorship, not a democracy.

If Democrats had the best ideas, they'd get the most votes. But since they are void of any ideas and they're only campaign promise is 'We're not as bad as the other guys,' they want to limit choice.
