| abstract | - It could be the best choice for American voters if the Green Party didn't nominate controversial candidates like Cynthia McKinney. They should have endorsed Obama like other left-progressives like the Democratic Socialists of America. They also should have worked with Obama in 2008 for more environmental politics, They have great ideas but they need to stop nominating. The Green Party is socially liberal and fiscally center-left, with emphasis on environmentalism. Green Party advocates a new form of taxation - the carbon tax, a tax on emissions of carbon dioxide and greenhouse gases. According to the organization's website, the ten values of the party are:[1]
* Grassroots democracy
* Social justice
* Ecological balance
* Nonviolence
* Decentralization
* Economic justice
* Gender equality
* Respect for diversity
* Personal and global responsibility
* Sustainability As usual, Neocons view this organization with suspicion. Several of their environment friendly policies are unfriendly for Neocons. Neocons oppose most of their states aims including the policy of implementing carbon tax.
