So in 2000, Gore and Bush prevented Nader from attending the debates
even as
an "regular" audience member. He had a ticket and they physically
banned
him from the building. This year the mainstream parties took it a step
further and arrested the Libertarian and Green party canidates. I
wonder
what will happen in 2008 ? I guess a restraining order issued at the
begining of the campaign would be the next logical step. Afterall we
we
don't need any new ideas in this country. The 2 party system is doing
just
fine . . . . . .

Well, that's fucked up....


I for one support run-off voting to open up the system to more ideas and wider representation....

I, as a conservative agree...and I maintain my position that if you think "your vote doesn't count", then vote for a 3rd party. Get them their 5% and they HAVE to be let in.

Actually, it's 15% to be let into the debates, which is too high for candidates that receive little coverage. The Republicrat CPD knows that.

Like someone said in a previous post, if they're on the ballot, they should be allowed in the debate with no excuses.

Ross Perot would have got himself into the debates...

I suspect Nader recieved a lifetime supply of green ketchup and relish to remain low key...
