The Socialist Workers Party is one of the most active socialist parties in the United States. Richard Winger brings to our attention news of the Socialist Workers Party’s candidate for public office in 2010.
The party expects to be on the statewide ballot in Iowa. It also expects to be on the ballot for one U.S. House race in New York, and one in Iowa. Finally, it expects to be on the ballot for Mayor of Washington, D.C. All the other candidates will be write-in candidates.
The list can be found here.
SWP, P&F, Libs have any response to my least favorite pedophile, Roman Orgy Polasnski?
I urge the California American Independent Party to send sexually explicit, suggestive material (such as magazine ads, pages from toss away weeklies) to the American Swiss Embassy and or Consulates!
The SWP was good, great, in fact, in the 60s and 70s, but it is now a tiny sectarian cult. 🙁
We need foundamental changes. If you think a third party is enough to clean up this mess, then you are in the matrix. We need a revolution with new ideas.

If the (Trotskyist) SWP had any “major party” presidential standardbearer in 2008, that would have been John McCain, who at least toes the Trot line on foreign policy.
How can the Socialist Workers Party have any candidates in 2010?
Their standard-bearer Barack Hussein Obama is not up for reelection til 2012.
10 reasons to end the wars now
July 5th, 2010
The long wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have been back in the news recently, and we just had the bizarre spectacle of the Republican National Committee Chairman saying he didn’t like Obama’s war in Afghanistan, while the DNC chastised him for failing to support the troops.
Here are ten reasons to end the wars now. I hope you’ll take a look at some of the links.
1. American military and contractor casualties in Iraq and Afghanistan.
2. Iraqi and Afghanistan civilian and military casualties.
3. These wars are a tremendous waste of taxpayer money in a time of extreme deficits, high unemployment and a falling stock market.
4. Invading and occupying Afghanistan and Iraq feeds terrorism.
5. Osama Bin Laden and his co-conspirators who attacked the World Trade Center were Saudi Arabian.
6. As Congressman Ron Paul recently said: “In Afghanistan, we are fighting the Taliban, those dangerous people with guns defending their homeland. Once they were called the Mujahideen, our old allies, along with bin Laden, in the fight to oust the Soviets from Afghanistan in the 1980s.”
7. Most Republicans in Congress now admit Iraq was a mistake.
8. Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele’s comments show that even the hawkish Republican Party can’t support this war with a straight face.
9. As James Madison said, “If Tyranny and Oppression come to this land, it will be in the guise of fighting a foreign enemy.” (Witness the PATRIOT Act.)
10. The U.S. military has been in Iraq over seven years, and in Afghanistan almost nine years. It’s time to give peace a chance.
