LIKE: Getting feds out of the education indoctrination buisness(public schools)
and maybe stopping all federal grants to any college that indoctrinates socialist dogma..
or maybe even giving the ol' FCC some decent sharp dentures to police the public air waves.. instead of trashing 280 millions dollars a year(2004)... for WHAT... NOTHING...
Libertarians advocate PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY. Not government entitlements. Personal responsibility is something our two party system has seemed to forget.
They want to make all of our decisions for us including who gets to "participate" in the political process.
We wouldn't be fighting a war on terror because if the libertarian energy policy had been adopted 30 years ago imported oil would not be the focus of protectionary taxation. As I see it, neither the Democrats of Republicans have scored very high in solving a lot of national problems because they spend their time protecting their power base and appeasing contributors.
Perot could have won the 92 election but he was rattled by the intimidators and personal attack engineers who threatened his personal safety because he was a threat to their power base if his coalition had remained intact.
It is all about controlling the largest economy in the world and the power it represents. Not representing the people who have made our nation the old fashioned way.......... by working.
Libertarians are also lots closer to Ted Kosinski than Republicans IMO!
Or is the whole equality under the law thing lost on you?
I remember you said you didn't watch the nationally televised four-party debate with Mr. B, but did you watch the nationally televised debate between Mr. B and the Green Party candidate?
Make it an all day event. Jerry Lewis telethon style. Have debate run offs with call in voting. Final two survivors at the end of the day face each other in gladatorial combat.
Once everyone is dead or demoralized, the population can get on about their business knowing that anyone who actually would WANT the job of ruling over millions of people has been safely kept from doing so.
Nothing too major. Not like which has better hair or can pronounce words like nuclear and Ghengis.
you really need to do a little research before you post.
The CPD is a private organization. Not a government one
The debates themselves are funded by donations.
yes, correctly,no one can challenge their exclusion, anymore than you can challenge that augusta country club didn't offer you a membership. It's a private meeting. Check your constitution for futher details.
Air force one is funded by taxpayers,but the campaign repays it for use of the plane. It's been that way forever. It's afact of life - the president doesn't fly coach.
Yes, public funding kicks in for the candidates after their debate - it's called matching funds. But stretching to say this means they can't exclude anyone from the (PRIVATE) debate is like saying john kerry has to let george bush speak at every one of his rallies because kerry received public funds.
Sorry, you failed the logic test. Also the constituional law test. Goodbye.
Note to self: Sign off, your mind needs a break.
Caughts parts of it on CSPAN's webiste. Oddly, I didn't know it was going to be broadcast. I wonder why the media lets everyone know when Bush/Kerry will spend hours talking past each other, but completely fail to let anyone know when others are having actual debates.
"If the judge forces the debate commission to allow Bednarik and Nader and Peroutka into the debates, the commission will cancel the final debate." you said.
I say cluck cluck cluck chicken!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly what are they scared of?
I hope it IS cancelled. The 2 party debate process is a scripted facade for consumers of bs. I think the people should decide who gets in since it is US these candidates claim to represent. Backing out will only reinforce the lack of accountability of the two party power mongers.
If 3rd party candidates fall flat on their face.....there is no better place than in front of the tv cameras.
Flip floppers should not get all the glory!
Do you have a source for this info? Nothing turning up on Google. Search criteria "Commission for Presidential Debates funding".
Draw straws. One candidate outfitted in full armor with a short dagger - the other nude with a long sword.
I thought the Democrats were the party of the courts?
Every time there is something political they disagree with they run to a judge.
Now... if Condi runs against Ol' Crusty... Dr. Rice is a damn fine looking woman with boku brains to boot. Can I still say that without getting in trouble with some obscure organisation who hunt down men and torture them?
right on! This is a matter of inclusion, not exclusion from the process.
No. His organization fell apart amid bitter jealousy and infighting.
LOL! Figuring out answers off the top of one's head does tucker one out.
Probably because the LP never bothered to issue a press release.
As if I should care about your opinion? If I ever find myself in agreement with you, sinky or CJ, I KNOW I'm on the wrong side of the issue. Republicans in the higher echelons are far closer to Ted "No-pants" Kennedy than to Conservatives. Remember "No Child Left Behind?" Guess who's in the HIGHEST echelon of the (R) party?
