The Early Word on the Fall Presidential Debates

Ralph Nader

It's a tragedy for the American people that Ralph Nader will not be allowed to join the "debates." We can continue in our willful ignorance so that our masters the corporations can continue to control our lives or maybe we can get out and work to fulfill their 15% quota so that the truth can be heard.

WHY?

Why are the debates scheduled in Tenn.,Miss, and NY??

Why no debate in at least 1 western state??

YES! to Ron Paul

Conservative Republicans and Evangelical Christians need to be able to vote for a bold, unwaivering candidate who's values, views and beliefs are solid and who also stands for the very core values for which our country was founded upon.

Ron Paul

What about Ron Paul? Should we include him?

I was unde rthe assumption we lived in a democracy ,let all voices speak. America needs al views expressed and voters need all information to properly vote for the cani]didate of choice. The 2 major parties only wish to perpetuate their own agenda. Let all canidates speak!

What democracy?

These "debates" are arranged by the two "major" parties. Of course they do not want other voices heard because all their flaws will be aired, and other avenues leading to a healthier country would be explained. This corporate controlled two party system is thee major reason "our" country has so many ills. Yet those in power are doing everything they can to keep it that way, to the detriment of the people. Thus the real reason the mark is set at 15%.

Thank-you note to Bob

We gotta be grateful to good ole Bob Barr for running out there to try to hurt John McCain as badly as perpetual candidate, Ralph Nader, seeks to hurt Barack Obama. As for putting them in the debates? Nah. They would both just suck up time railing on about fringe proposals that Congress cannot and will not enact.
