So they're taking their ball and playing by themselves?

I'm sure the extra exposure to their undoubtedly wonderful ideas will prove efficacious to their election totals.

Oh you like their wonderful ideas do you? Why don't you ask that more candidates be included in the televised debates then? Is a level playing field too much to ask for?

As soon as one of them becomes statistically significant in an election. 5% is spoiler territory, not significantly electable territory.

I have never even heard of the justice party.

Because fairness in elections should depend on the establishment's contrived ideas of electability.

 

[rambone]

I often hear people say, "Like it or not, we have a 2 party system."

Most people, I think, lament having limited options.

A certain class of people actually LIKE it.

Im sure there are many vegan v carnivor debates, you just gotta look harder.

Dont worry people, asking for change and voting for business as usual in DC are two different things. Dont cry when nothing changes after this election, hell, your vote probly didnt, why should anything else?

 

[cbseniour]

I'm thinking Obama may have a prior engagement or an emergency war or something he has to attend to.

You're barking up the wrong tree if you think including "3rd party" candidates in the debates is the means to achieve the fairness you desire.

I wonder how hard the nobles laughed when the peasants began debating new ideas among themselves. Think they kept laughing after they formed their own Congress? Army? Nation?

In this particular case........ I just think it's a bit funny, because it is TOO LITTLE, TOO LATE... to do the (third, fourth, fifth parties) candidates any real good.

 

[cesna250]

Never heard of two of those... Could i just make up any name? Say.... the "Freedom" party..

 

[ArmedProgrammer]

I was wondering the same thing, Cesna250. Maybe form the ArmedProgrammer Party. "Liberty for all - and to Hades with M$"....

I could take on the rest of 'em in a debate...

Why not?

 

[foszoe]
