Withdraw from Iraq immediately. Eliminate the No Child Left Behind law. Legalize marijuana.

Those were just some of the goals stated by candidates at the Green Party presidential debate Sunday in San Francisco.

That event could have been attacked by a million squirels due to there beeing so many nuts in one place. Cynthia McKinney and Cindy Sheehan on the same stage? Comedy gold.

They forgot;

and buy everyone a puppy

[counterpunch]

No puppies!
That is animal enslavement.

[Constantine XIII]

You clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.

EVERYONE knows that puppies are bad for the environment!

Nearly every answer was greeted with nods of agreement from the other candidates waiting their turns and by roars of applause from the audience

At least three hecklers who interrupted the forum also received a few claps of approval

At one point, someone loudly farted. This too, was met with applause.

I hear they’re going to hold a seance befor the debate, to see if they can summon the ghosts of Timothy Leary and Abby Hoffman.

Is there such a nutbar shortage in California that they now have to import them from other states?

They may import, but there definitely isn't a shortage.

[Crazieman]

Wish it was televised, I would have loved to watch that.

[Into the Vortex]

S.F.? Maybe they could have a debate at the zoo....On C-span 2

We could see whats eating them.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

As far as I can tell it was so embarrassing to the left that even CSPAN3 didn’t air it nor is it on the CSPAN schedule. That would have been hilarious.

I want a pony!

Why are there so many nutbars in California? Because there's a slow leak in Oregon.

[rogue yam]

Because there's a slow leak in Oregon.

Q: Why did all the hippies move to Eugene, OR?
A: They heard there were no jobs there.

[The Great RJ]

Sad thing is that at least some of these kook ideas will also be part of the Democratic platform.

Didn’t think such a short vid would be interesting, but at the end she gets in her barbs at “da Jooz.”

It’s a shame that they didn’t hold their debate in the beautiful, pristine environment of ANWR!! It’s so pretty up there this time of year.
