I don't think that the green party will ever present a credible candidate so long as the defining attribute of that party is so hopelessly steeped in anti-science rhetoric. I -long- for a socially progressive fiscally conservative party of sustainable development with a heavy focus on environmental concerns and forward thinking solutions.......but that's not the green party.
I mean, they try, they flirt with the idea, they advertise themselves as such, but then...when you read their platform in detail..you realize that they're just a new package on old and discredited povs. It's a third party that doesn't seem to serve it;s reason for existence...and isn't substantially different from the the parties we already have. Second rate left leaning dem....that's all I see - in their platform-. Makes it a tough sell even if they find a good candidate.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
