Joint press conference by Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader

@Eric: nope, I do not have any of their emails or even any contacts with their staffs, but I have been thinking about, and hoping for, the same thing. FYI – here is what I wrote on my message to my mailing list about this press conference:

I recently came across this video of the joint press conference of Ron Paul, Cynthia McKinney and Ralph Nader and I wanted to draw your attention to it, in particular those of you who live outside the USA and who might not fully appreciate the fact that there is a *REAL* opposition to the War Party in the USA. Paul, McKinney and Nader are some of the best, but not the only, representatives of this phenomenon (others include Kucinich, Buchanan and others). Sadly, they have not united their efforts so far, but at least they have openly stated that they have a basic set of common values.

The big weakness of their position is that the corporate media almost totally ignores them and I predict that this will continue as long as they do not united themselves into a Peace Party. Just imagine these people creating, say, a “Jeffersonian Party” together and offering a “Ron Paul and Ralph Nader” ticket and with a minimal political platform for peace, civil rights and freedom! There is no way the media could ignore them under such circumstances. Still, the USA might not be ready to give up its imperial dream yet and more pain, both economic and military, will be needed to open the tightly shut eye of the stupidified majority. Besides, the Neocons are still firmly in power having literally hijacked all of the government and corporate media.

But maybe, just maybe, this joint press conference is a very small first step in the right direction?

Kind regards,
