A Green Party candidate would be very different from a Democrat or Republican and should be heard. I was the candidate first time a Green or any progressive third party has ever been in a national televised debate. I was in five of them. And the response from the public was overwhelming.

The United States is not for democracy in Iraq, it's for setting up a puppet government.

The Greens have every right to run, that's what democracy is, and they should argue their point by saying how they think people should vote, not by telling us to be silent.

The Green Party represents that majority point of view within the U.S.

Deep down, the Iraqi people want the United States out. And their self-determination should be respected.

All electoral laws in Europe are more democratic than they are in the United States.

You know, the same percentage of people are gay and lesbian as are left-handed. Let's try to figure that out. How can it be that a left-handed person can get married to another left-handed person. Left-handed people can do anything they want. . . . I say, give homosexuals the same rights we give left-handed people.
