Preaching To The Choir: Green Party Presidential "Debate"

Tagged as the "Presidential Debate that Matters," about 800 people attended the Green Party presidential debate yesterday at the Herbst Theatre. As you might expect from such an event, the five candidates you've never heard of -- bless their hearts -- spent most of the three hour event agreeing with one another about all the pressing national issues. While the title "debate" may be something of a misnomer, it's still great to see something campaign-related that isn't the usual multi-million dollar racehorse bullshit that dominates 99.9 percent of the election. Here are the Green Party contenders:

  • Environmental engineer Kent Mesplay

  • Former Democratic congresswomen Cynthia McKinney

  • Hip-hop scholar Jared Ball

  • San Antonio activist Kat Swift

  • Actor/filmmaker Jesse Johnson

    -- Brian Bernbaum
