A A A ABelow, Amy post published today by Sam Smith in his ProRev: A A A A- AScary situation for everyone in the world, the stark poverty of Aleadership Afor a country with so much power... and talent! A situation Athat we owe to Athe political party system and nothing else. My reaction Asince last week is Athat come what may we must look to the Green Party Aand Ralph Nader for a Aleadership disentangled from the normal way of Adoing things that Acharacterizes this unsustainable system. We must Aconcentrate on denouncing Athe lack of significant choices to which it Acondemns us. A AI believe Athat if the Greens were to unite in denouncing this system's Adefects and Ashow everyone how things may be done differently, that a Aplurality of votes Awould accrue to it as a third party committed to an Aauthentically different Away of doing politics. A AThe Greens can win but only if they show the way Atowards an altogether Adifferent sort of game. . . It should declare itself Athe Anon-party-Party-to-do-away-with- parties, as soon as possible and A Athrough exemplary action. Also the notion of a "bi-gendered" executive A Asharing both the male and female side of so many matters should be A Aencouraged. . . A ASo: the Greens should continue to support the ARalph-Cynthia duo in this Adirection. Such a move would truly inspire and Acarry the day with many Asmall contributions of both money and work to get Aout the vote in favor Aof real and necessary change. The kind that the Acorporate world can't Aallow but will have to before very long. I believe in Amiracles. The AGreens need to reorient themselves in the midst of this Anational Adisaster. - Mamadoc A A A A(Below, ARalph Nader's letter to remind us who the Knight in Shining Armor really Ais...) A A AQUESTIONS THEY DIDN'T ASK OBAMA AND CLINTON IN ATHEIR DEBATE A ARALPH NADER, COUNTERPUNCH - It was Abilled as the great debate that, in Athe words of moderator Wolf Blitzer, A"could change the course of this Apresidential race and the nation.". . . A A AWhen it was over two hours later, here is how the reporters, not the A Acolumnists, of the New York Times described the showdown: "Senators A AHillary Rodham Clinton and Barack Obama sat side by side here Thursday, Asharing a night of Asmiles, friendly eye-catching and gentle banter. It Awas almost as if the Abattle was to see which of them could outnice the A Aother.". . . A AAs in all debates involving presidential candidates, Athe reporters were Aunwilling or incapable of asking questions reflecting Asituations and Aconditions widely reported or investigated by their own Acolleagues. . . A AI called up Chris Hedges, former New York Times Middle AEast bureau chief Aand author for a question he would have asked. He offered Athis one. A A"The Israeli government is imposing severe and continual Acollective Apunishment on the 1.5 million people of tiny A AGaza, which includes A Arestricting or cutting off food, fuel, electricity, medicines and other A Anecessities. Malnutrition rates among many children resemble the worst A Aof sub-Saharan Africa. AIsrael's Aleading newspaper, Ha'aretz, has Areporters and Acolumnists describing these horrific conditions and Aconcluding that the Aferocity of the blockade is detrimental to AIsrael as A Awell as the Palestinians. A A"Collective punishment is clearly a Aviolation of established Ainternational law.. Prominent, former military, Asecurity and political Aleaders in AIsrael are Aspeaking out against this punishment and calling Afor negotiations with Hamas. Do you, Senator Clinton and Senator Obama, Aagree with these Israelis or do you continue to Asupport the policy of Acollective punishment against innocent men, women and Achildren in Gaza?" A AAlexander Cockburn, CounterPunch Acoeditor, suggested this question: A A"Senator Clinton, in all your previous Adebates, you have not criticized Athe bloated military budget. The ASoviet Union is gone. Yet military Aspending now consumes half of the federal Agovernment's operating Aexpenditures. What would you do to reduce the tens of Abillions of wasted Adollars and eliminate redundant weapons systems?. . . A AHere are a few questions of my own. "Senator AObama, you have taught AConstitutional law. Has APresident Bush violated the Constitution, Afederal statutes and international Atreaties during his two terms of Aoffice? If so, please elaborate and tell Athe American people what you Athink should be done about holding the Aself-described "responsibility" APresident accountable under the impeachment Aauthority of Congress and Aother laws of the land?" A A"Senator Clinton, Ayou represent New AYork, which includes the large A Abanking, brokerage and investment firms colloquially called Wall Street. A AEliot Spitzer became governor of your state largely on his widely A Areported reputation for prosecuting corporate crooks who fleeced A Ainvestors, pensioners and workers of hundreds of billions of dollars. He A Aoften remarked that the federal criminal laws were too weak and the A ASecurities and Exchange Commission was too lenient. As the Senator from A ANew AYork, what specifically have you Adone to advance a strong crackdown Aon corporate crime with tougher laws and Alarger enforcement budgets? AAnd, specifically, what do you intend to do as APresident?" A A"Senator Obama, you have often Aspoken about your health insurance plan Aas a way to reduce costs. Yet you do Anot discuss three major cost Areduction opportunities. The GAO, the Ainvestigative arm of Congress, Aestimates that ten per cent of the entire Ahealth expenditures in this Acountry go down the drain due to computerized Abilling fraud and abuse. AThis year, that amounts to $220 Abillion. A A"Under a single payer plan, administrative expenses would be cut Aby Aabout two-thirds. That would amount to hundreds of billions of dollars a A Ayear in savings. And the Harvard School of Public Health study estimates A Aabout 80,000 people die every year from medical malpractice in A Ahospitals, estimating costs years ago of $60 billion a year. These are A Alarge savings in a $2.2 trillion a year health care industry. A A"Do you Aagree and, if so, why have you ignored proposing practical Aactions in these Aareas?" A A"Senator Clinton, you have long urged more money for children's A Aprograms. One way to make this possible is to end or diminish the A Acomplex system of corporate welfare-subsidies, handouts, giveaways and A Abailouts of business corporations. These amount to hundreds of billions A Aof dollars a year, directly and through tax loopholes. Why have you not A Amoved against such spending so that some of the money may go to help A Aneedy children? And specifically, what would you do as President to A Adevelop standards curtailing runaway corporate welfare programs pushed A Aby corporate lobbyists?"
