Why Do We Never See Any Third Party Candidates In The Debates?

What is fair about our Political Election System? We only see Debates were Republicans and Democrats debate each other. It seems to me that they are so much alike that there should be other options in Political Parties to vote for. I know there are several other Political Parties that have been around for awhile. I would like to know more about them because I refuse to vote for the incapable candidates that we have to choose from of the Democrats and Republicans.

RandyScott 2012/01/11 20:43:12None of the above+5The Debates so far have been to elect the Republican Party Candidate. So no they should not be open to anyone but the republican candidates. When it comes time for the General election, then the debates should be open to all Candidates. The problem is that they are controlled by the 2 Major parties, and they don't want to let anyone else play.






















It's been a while since '92. Before Perot, there was John Anderson... in '84, I think. Other than those two, I can't think of any third party candidate that was allowed in the debates.
awesome Values for a Political Party, are they able to
live up to them?

Why do we allow the lying treasonous media to control the agenda and the questions?
NPR and PBS buy a lot of news programing from the BBC, but the BBC doesn't really generate that much news for the American market. We can produce our own dribble, thank you very much.
The rest is 100% political indoctrination. MSNBC exists, because NBC wants to exploit the underserved liberal market. The tiny amount of cheap programming on that network is absurd. Most everything else, including newspapers, magazines, radio, and Fox News is NewsCorp. The power of that company absolutely staggers the imagination.
Personally, I'd like a lot more independent sources. I don't like people trying to tell me what to think.
There should be a movement to register and allow a third....and even a fourth party...if warranted....just like there should be a movement for term limits......for our political representatives.......and no earmarks.....and on and on......but don't hold your breath....it isn't likely to happen anytime soon.......sad to say! The DIE is CAST!
