Topic: Bob Barr '08

The US has such a broken democracy.  We need a government run debate so scallywags can know about th' other 2 candidates on th' ballot.  All we know about now is mcbama.  The media controls our democracy because they wont invite th' other candidates t' th' debate.  How will th' scallywags know about th' other candidates if ye no nay ne'er hear or see them on tv???


by th' way bob barr is from th' libertarian party an' he represents all views while mcbama fail t' do so.

Re: Bob Barr '08

th' debates require ye t' have atleast 15% on a national election trackin' poll
maybe that's wrong, but that's how it is.., ye scurvey dog.  fer one t' be recognized they have t' have a large movement like th' other candidates

Re: Bob Barr '08

an' how do ye suppose we get a large movement if th' media ignores us everytime?

Re: Bob Barr '08

well offcourse it's hard

no one said media was fair, they're a business after all, selling a product which is the news, and people tune into the channel that makes the product compatible with themselves the best..

simple fact of life, no one said it was fair..

Re: Bob Barr '08

A libertarian who criticises private media corporations for being "unfair" and calls for government-run debates. Lol, welcome to corporate self-interest.

Re: Bob Barr '08

Hurray for legalizing pot! Hurray for abolishing nearly all government programs like the CIA and FBI! Hurray for Bob Barr.


Maybe the media doesn't cover the other smaller party candidates because they're crazy tongue

yes lets let cnn control our government. i want government to make a law that all candidates must be invited to the debates because that has nothing to do with anything economical or social freedom. in fact it increases freedom because right now CNN and fox and msnbc control who we elect.

Re: Bob Barr '08

no they don't control who we elect, we elect to watch them

stop watching them then tongue --> they are a business, they don't have to listen to you, they're out there to make money, if they started covering bobb barr, and stopped covering obama and mccain, their rating would plummet, not to mention their subscriptions, and their advertisements and obviously they'd go bankrupt preety soon tongue

you can't nationalize something that's not taking care of a very small percentage of people..

Re: Bob Barr '08

uhmm they dont have to cover him. Just have a law stating that he would have to be invited to the debates.

Re: Bob Barr '08

the news channels have  NOTHING to do with the debates...

that's a separate, i think private company that handles all that...
