I can't base my vote on MJ positions alone. I tend to look a little deeper then that. Don't get me wrong, I do take that into consideration. The Green Party is a wee bit socialist for me. I don't care to much for their tax the weed plan either. Another tax stamp for weed is not exactly my idea of a good plan. There are quite a few problems for me with the greens. Another is their plan to turn over control of the top 500 corps in the US to the public. Or in other words let the government take control of the operation of said coporations. What do you get when you merge corprate's and government? You can get facism, or communism. In the greens case it is more communist or socialist. They want the government to control the means of production. I think that a lot of people don't really know what they support by supporting the that.

This is from their platform;

"Reassert the public's right as owners of the electromagnetic spectrum used as broadcast airwaves to regulate their use in the public interest."

Notice if you will how much they tend to use the "public intrest" ploy. It's never said that the public will not have any control, but that is what it would amount to if they gave all control of the media over to the government. Personaly, I don't think the government taking a firm control of the media is a good idea.

Then there is the progressive taxation, or redistrabution of wealth. You could even call it stealing from the rich to give to the poor. A noble idea, but it's flawed to the core if your trying for equlity and Freedom. And that brings us to their "End Institutionalized Racism" by instituting more racism in government. The anti-discrimination, and affirmative action laws, programs, and enforcement reparations for African Americans, are racism. A country that is supposed to treat all the people equaly should not treat them differently and call it equal. Biased racism laws that only get inforced for one group, is not equality, and neither are progressive taxes. I could go on and on about the greens, but I think I'll quit picking on them for now.

Here is their platform;

Demonrats are not much different then the greens in their lust to create a socialist country out of the US. Keep in mind Hitler was a socialist, and we all know how the attempt in Russia turned out. We also have North Korea to look at. China, and Cuba too. There are others also, and they are all the same. Screwed!
