This posting of yours only indicates your ridiculous assertion that the Democrats and Republicans are in bed with each other and essentially exactly the same, which is utter bullshit. They're markedly different in their policies.
In the past you've come out for some rather wacky libertarian ideas, so it wasn't difficult to picture you as libertarian, i.e., conservative. I guess you're proof of the claim that the far left and the far right somehow always manage to meet in the middle of the political circle.
Do I wish the Democrats were more liberal and less conservative? I've been wishing that for probably more years than you've been alive. If the Greens are gaining power in Pima County and Tucson, more power to them. If they gain enough power to become a major third party, I might support them--but only if doing so would not have the strong possibility of resulting in a Republican victory. We lost the 2000 election in no small part due to Ralph Nader being in the race; I'm glad I don't have those 8 years of Bush hanging on my conscience.
