No. People who think this make me laugh. Do they honestly believe if the Greens actually won elections they wouldn't have ANY politicians caught up in corruption scandals? Nader's had scandals himself but I won't bring that up again and he's not even really a Green anyway.

There was a Green on the Minneapolis City Council until 2006. In 2005 he lost reelection. He's now in prison, sentenced to 5 years over a bribery scandal.

Is that just an anamoly? If the Greens won more reelections would there not be any others like him?

Wait a minute. You're criticizing the Greens because one of their elected officials accepted bribes? Ever hear of lobbying? How many democrats do you suppose take bribes? Only thing this guy did differently is got caught.
