"LOL!!! Nader says the same thing.
The fringers are not part of the debates for the same reason children are not allowed to drive cars.
"

Nader will never appeal to a large segment of the voters. Even Ross Perot, with all the money he dumped into his campaign(s) and got into the debates could not muster more than small fractions of the voting population

Libertarian party is definately not well run at the mommet, or well represented.
However, the fear comes from the fact that the libertarian party, giving some good representation and enough momentum (not even as much as Perot got) could easily threaten to appeal to large blocks of both democrats and republican voters (the small government republicans and the social liberal democrats).

Another laugher. Perot got 19% of the vote in 1992, which was several million votes.

No Libertarian candidate has EVER gotten even one million votes.

The Libertarians disgrace themselves with their gutlessness on the war on terror. You boys better figure out that we have to fight these terrorists over there, or we'll have to fight them here.

And you clowns won't fight them here, either.

Or well liked, and this latest stunt isn't going to help in that regard.
