These are legitimate candidates who are appearing on primary ballots across the country. Kucinich and Hunter and Ron paul all have substantial followings

The biggest problem is that the parent company of ABC has given money to the four candidates they are allowing.

“Corporatism is degenerate.” Within the L/MSM domain surely your statement is hard to argue with. They for to long have literally controlled the airwaves, and thusly the masses.

All of you are better at this than I am.

Great Point. I think he should get all of his supporters to e-mail ABC. When the amount of e-mail doesn’t change much, ABC will know they made the right choice!

If they hold a legitimate position in governing they deserve to be heard. Hunter, being ranking chairman of the Armed Services Committee and an important member of the House and having served his country militarily deserves to be there. It is a disgrace no matter which way you put it and now that he actually has a delegate, even more reason. I find it appalling this election and only against Hunter do they pull this cr*p when in past they went on and on with the other candidates. Now it is important to silence Duncan Hunter of all people. Far from a fringe candidate and mark it down who are the ‘conservatives’ to sign on to this conspiracy. Yes, these are clearly political machinations at work here and it is obvious there is an attempt only against Duncan Hunter and has been all along.

All legitimate, filed candidates deserve to be heard in debates.

So that wasn’t what you meant.... Okay I can understand.

I'll add that the real problem is that the candidates and the parties should never have given control of the debates over to the networks to begin with.

I agree. These debates are to determine the party's candidate, so the party should set up the debates. They can then let the networks tape and televise them.

Kucinich is a whack job.....

[Emperor Palpatine]

My question is why is that kook Ron Paul allowed into the GOP debates? He's the king of the tin-foil hat brigade.
