3. Then have them on the stage

There more voices the better I think you would agree. Let the libertarians too and I'll bet you'll get the parties answering some different questions. That's how you get a choice of Vanilla or French Vanilla.

4. If the Greens weren't so

incredibly clueless of how to build a power base, Stein would be on stage.

5. I would agree with many of their positions, but the are clueless of how politics in America work!

1st off, they had the flag touching the ground while sitting, and then let it fall to the ground. Even the cop knew you should never do that! There are rules about the Flag, when and how to display it, how to fold it etc., but the number 1 rule is that it should never touch the ground! Men have died for it as it is one of the most powerful symbols of our country. A flag that has touched the ground must be burnt (yes burnt) according to ceremony. You can take dropped flags to the Boy Scouts of America for proper disposal. If you ever attend the funeral of a Veteran, watch the care and skill used inhandeling and folding of the flag that is handed to the family, it was the only point at both my dad's and uncle's funerals that I could not keep from crying. Sorry to be so anal about that one point, but her carelessness really offended me (Yes I was a Boy Scout, and yes I no longer support them in light of their stance on gays).

7. Fuck all of your pseudo 'traditional' technicialities. The Spirit of the Truth is The Truth.

9. There is a difference between a tradition and a law.

The flag on the ground is not a law. It is not even a rule with consequences. It is a recommendation.

That is why no one was ever convicted for burning a piece of cloth with a configuration of stars, bars and so forth.

6. This is EXACTLY what it will take for the 47% to think someone will REALLY represent them.

Jill Stein is a nice woman, and not eligible to be leader of the free world, but she is imminently qualified to represent the disenfranchised in this company town so-called the "United" States of America.

8. The fact that the Green Party has found a way into national consciousness is good enough for me!

10. The debates are a sham, important issues are totally ignored.

Jill Stein raises these issues. I agree with all her analysis and policy prescriptions.

My vote for Obama is for a lesser of two evils and nothing else.

I will vote for Obama to keep Romney out, especially because I vote in a battleground state, but I'm happy to have an option to vote for someone I actually agree with.
