And the liberal intelligentsia have in common?
They all see clearly that the Democrats will not get us out of Iraq.
They all see clearly that the Democrats will not crack down on corporate crime.
They all see clearly that the Democrats will not support a single payer national health insurance system.
They all see clearly that the Democrats will not cut the bloated, wasteful military budget.
And yet, they refuse to stand up to the Democrats and say - out!
Get out!
Get out now!
We are going to start new.
You are a corrupt party.
And your time has passed.
Time to build something new.
Instead, the liberal intelligentsia continues to hope.
Against hope.
That Clinton.
Or Obama.
Will stand up to the military corporations and their bloated, wasteful military budget.
Even though they know deep down that they will not.
Even in the face of 4,000 Americans dead.
And more than a million Iraqis dead.
And tens of thousands wounded.
They refuse to abandon hope in a corrupt party.
The Democratic Party is gone.
And the liberal intelligentsia is gone.
Yet, as we have seen over the past two months.
Tens of millions of Americans are ready for change.
To move past the two parties.
Toward something new.
And that is what Nader/Gonzalez is about.
Step by step, we are getting on ballots all across the country.
In New Mexico, our volunteers are well on their way to getting Nader/Gonzalez on the ballot.
