What I really enjoyed was that they would actually answer questions, unlike the big two that just repeat talking points and work around answering questions so they can later flop or deny.
Me too. What pisses me off about third party debates is that they always start off the same way. Bitching about the two party system. Don't get me wrong, it is a MAJOR problem but if you come off always sounding like a victim from the get go, people are going to look at you like you are a victim and not a leader. That's gotta stop. Put your issues at the forefront and then bitch about the unfairness on a lesser scale. At least that's my opinion.
I would've done my bitching by calling the two parties out rather than saying they are oppressing me. I'd call them cowards for not debating me. Show up at their campaign rallys trying to confront them into an on camera explanation why they won't debate me. Stuff like that. Get press that way.
I agree but I think the CP is more outward about their intent but the GOP's notions are based in the same evangelical roots when it comes to social policies.
After watching the debate, I found I lean more towards the green party. Unfortunately our federalism only allows for a republican or a democrat to win.
I'm voting for Jill Stein anyways, even if I am in a swing state.
I desperately want to vote for Jill Stein, but I don't want Romney to win. If we truly had a democracy, she would have my vote.
The best way to get Democrats to listen to you is to let them know what happens when they stop representing you.
And if the only way for them to get that message is for them to lose, the fault is with them, not you.
I like how it was carried by Al Jazeera and not by any major US networks.

It's that kind of thinking that bought us eight years of George W. Bush.

They said that college education should be free like secondary education. Well free is not free as Johnson pointed out. Primary and secondary education is paid by taxes and other means.
I do not agree that college should be free or on the backs of the taxpayers. Only about 30% or so go to college. I think Johnson had a good point. Use Lottery money for those who can't afford it or need some help and get the colleges and universities to do a cost comparison study or whatever its called to see what the real cost of college is.
Don't get me wrong I am not against higher education. It made me what I am today, but I paid most of my college cost myself and only had a very small loan to pay off at the end. My wife and I have been saving since our kids were born to send them through college and if 2008 had not happened we would have made it. My son is not able now to go to college because of his behavioral downslide here in the south, so God willin and the river don't rise we will be able to send my daughter to a very good "state" school in Wisconsin.
1. Get schools to reduce unnecessary costs, lowering tuition
2. Get real low interest rate loans which have a longer drop dead date
3. Encourage parents to save for their kids education.
4. Use lottery money to help those that need help
5. Make all college bound seniors aware of all the great scholarships and other mechanisms to pay for college. Not near enough information being given by HS's.
6. Help college kids find summer jobs to help pay for college.
This is not an end all proposition but it is better than having everyone pay for the ones who go to college.
The Constitution Party wants theocracy, which may be a bit further than the GOP.
You keep talking like this, and the liberals are going to throw you out of their club. :lol:
ONE MORE TIME WITH FEELING I AM NOT A LIBERAL. I AM A MODERATE WITH LIBERAL LEANINGS. If you have seen any of my posts on penology or government spending you would know that. So I have no club to be kicked out of.
