Many believe that third parties are an irrelevant drain on the political system. Still others believe they play a vital role in our democracy, in that they allow blogs like ours to interview their vice-presidential nominees.

A few weeks ago, we submitted a list of questions for Rosa Clemente, the Green Party’s nominee for vice president of the United States. This week, she handed our ass back to us.

Indecision2008: Do you think a Green Party candidate can win the presidency?
Rosa Clemente: YES

INDY: No, seriously. Do you actually think a Green Party candidate can win the presidency.
RC: AS LONG AS IT’S A DARK GREEN

INDY: What’s the 3rd party convention scene like?
RC: WHITE FOLKS THOUGHT WE WERE THE HELP

INDY: Tell us about your first 100 days.
RC: ARREST BUSH AND COMPANY, MAKE ANGELINA AND BRAD’S CHILRDREN MY CABINET AND NO MORE TAXES

INDY: Who’s your favorite president. Ever. From any country. Or TV Show?
RC: PRESIDENT PALMER FROM THE SHOW 24

INDY: Describe your leadership style in one word. Don’t say green.
RC: HIP-HOP.

INDY: Who will you be voting for?
RC: WHO WILL YOU BE VOTING FOR?

And that’s how Green Party vice-presidential nominee Rosa Clemente received the only “A” on the philosophy final.

Save Me From My Senator – Boot Buttars From Office!

Posted on August 6, 2008 | Leave a comment

A new site has popped up in the Blogosphere:

Save Me From My Senator – Chris Buttars Scares Me.

It was started as a result of dire frustration by a constituent of his. It’s chock full of really useful information, including
101 Reasons to Get Rid of Chris Buttars, Tools for Citizens to use in the Fight, news and blog articles, and lots more.

I live just outside of District 10, so I can’t help vote him out, but I sure can do all I can to get others in his district to do just that.

Springmeyer/Valdez Gov slate in Utah

Posted on August 2, 2008 | Leave a comment

In the absence of any Green Party candidates in Utah, I have decided to support the Utah Governor/Lt. Governor candidate team of Bob Springmeyer and Josie Valdez. On his facebook page, Bob identifies his political views as Fiscally Conservative, Socially Liberal, Green.

Bob is working towards improving health care and wages for Utahns, addressing energy and environmental issues and eliminating government bureaucracy.

More about Bob Springmeyer

Josie “has been a community activist and organizer since she first arrived in Utah in the early ’70s.
After Josie’s retirement from the SBA, she served on the cabinet for Mayor Rocky Anderson as Director of Diversity for the City of Salt Lake.” Josie especially advocates for women and minorities.

More about Josie Valdez

This team is running on the Democratic ticket. I thought about this very carefully before deciding to formally support this team, since I feel that the Democratic party is just as bad as the Republican party, really. When I read about the values that these two candidates embrace, I became convinced that electing this team to the Hill would be of benefit to Utahns.

Besides, Bob rides a bike and the campaign lawn signs are Green! So I’ve put one in my yard.
