I guess you admit that you think Democrats are adults but not any other party that has so far failed to garner the poll numbers to break into the rigged two party dog and pony show.

Truth be told, the phony poll numbers are the wrong criteria, a fair hurdle should be whether or not a party has attained the ballot. If it can do that in this fixed ballot access system, they should be able to voice their ideas, for better or for worse.

I'm not a Libertarian, but I believe in the market place of ideas.

The whole issue is whether or not public money is being used in a biased way. If the debates are privately funded and no stolen money is used, they can exclude anyone they please. It will be a sham, but hey, the whole thing is a sham.

What all you people are afraid of, is the real question.

Nobody's "afraid" of anything.

A presidential debate is between serious candidates who have a chance of winning.

Bednarik...well you know the rest.

Did you watch the Mr. B. debate on 10/6?
