Many corporate news writers have been identifying liberal anger at Barack Obama as something new, attributed to his surrender to Republicans in the debt ceiling debate. The truth is much deeper. Liberal Americans have been growing increasingly angry at Obama ever since he was inaugurated President in January 2009. It started with Obama’s choice of bigot Rick Warren to deliver an unconstitutional prayer at the inauguration ceremony, and from there on in has been steadily increasing.
Progressive Democrats are looking for a candidate to challenge Barack Obama in their political primary, but liberal alternatives outside the Democratic Party already exist. Kent Mesplay is running for the Green Party nomination for President, for example.
Barack Obama posed with some liberal policies in 2008, but Mesplay is the real deal. You get a sense of his direct politics when Mesplay identifies climate change, not global warming or the budget deficit, as the most serious problem of our times.
Mesplay already has support within the Green Party. He has the endorsement of 2008 Green presidential candidates Kat Swift and Jared Ball. Will Mesplay gain more support from independent liberals and disgruntled Democrats?
I’ll be keeping an eye out.
Yeah, right – never heard of him.
What’s his past experience and how much of a chance does he have as a third party candidate to get anywhere?
Why do we continue to trot out at the last minute some “messiah” who is going to magically undo all the wrong, corruption, fraud, waste and abuse we’ve come to realize “our” government to be? This is completely bogus hope.
Meanwhile, take a look at this – it’s pretty amusing at first:

Don’t you have to be a natural-born citizen of the US to run for president?

Sometimes I wonder if there is any intelligent life on this planet usually when I see a post by an idiot like you. He was born there to American parents making him a “natural born American” before making a complete horse’s a$$ of yourself read the whole bio instead of just the part you want to see…
Have you seen this?

“Last year, Karen DeYoung and Greg Jaffe of the Washington Post reported that U.S. Special Operations forces were deployed in 75 countries, up from 60 at the end of the Bush presidency. By the end of this year, U.S. Special Operations Command spokesman Colonel Tim Nye told me, that number will likely reach 120. “We do a lot of traveling — a lot more than Afghanistan or Iraq,” he said recently. This global presence — in about 60% of the world’s nations and far larger than previously acknowledged — provides striking new evidence of a rising clandestine Pentagon power elite waging a secret war in all corners of the world.”
