That was very interesting. I would never vote for the Green, Justice, or Constitution party candidates based on what they said in that debate, however, I loved Gary Johnson's performance. He hit all the right marks and said what does need to be done. I wish he would have been a part of the 3 debates with Romney and Obama. It would have been very interesting to see him up against those two.

I suspect the Libertarian Party has the best bet to cross the critical mass line. Particularly as the remaining "sane" GOP voters flee the crazy circus, "got mine, f u" crowd, and Wall Street puppeteers.
I like having the Greens around as a 'loyal opposition' just to keep the spotlight on some issues.

I liked it. I think the best argument one can make for more parties in the system is that it dilutes the concentration of power, which reduces the ability of any one party being able to mandate over the other. It also encourages interesting alliances and ideas since representative voting power would be reduced significantly. Gridlock is a given when people clash, but I don't think it would be as bad as it is right now if a third, fourth, etc., party commanded enough seats.
Define irony: Republicans and Democrats talking about the wonders of free markets while running a duopoly.

That guy from Indiana would deserve a stoning for even dare saying such insanity (if not blasphemy to some extent) about rape as God's Will. My verdict to him should follow: And so as A BLASPHEMER!!! You are to be stoned to death! |

Guess they were right when they said that crazy anti-abortion stuff had effected many of the Republican base and their top supporters. Seriously, first it was "Women can shut down a rape child" and now "God intended for the Rape". Naturally Murdock is saying people are twisting his words and that THEY are the disgusting ones for quoting him. Obviously Romney is distancing himself but is still accepting all contributions from Murdock. |

@Vexx, your post about "The Life of Brian" reminded me of this. It is one of my favorite Python "pick-ons" of the Church of England. In related insanity, I see the shenanigans have begun. http://myfox8.com/2012/10/23/guilfor...ong-candidate/

Maybe, but I just don't believe in 'guilt by association' (at least when it comes to something as simple as a matter of opinion, no matter how misguided and awful the opinion might be) and don't think Romney should come under heat for not completely disavowing the guy.

But the association is that he's taking contributions from the guy. When you take a political contribution, the implication is that you will assist in carrying out the contributor's political agenda. Thus, by taking the guy's money, he's associating himself with those political views.

Of course I didn't mean it literally, but I can play comedy in my head when that guy previously mentioned the analogy to Monty Python's punishment scene for a blasphemy. And besides, as Vexx said, Murdock looks to be the type to get stoning back.

My guess would be for the election.
Edit: Trump to give $5 million to charity if Obama releases records http://www.reuters.com/article/2012/...8LO6IB20121024 That guy will never face the true or it's just a opportunity go get some publicity. Of course what he should do is the same proposition to Romney, but ask for his last 5 tax declarations insted.
