Nov. 4 The candidates from four political parties – Gary Johnson (Libertarian), Jill Stein (Green), Virgil Goode (Constitution) and Rocky Anderson (Justice) – will meet for a [...]

The War for Your Vote
FOR SOME reason people think they have a moral obligation to police your vote. Your vote. In the second decade of the 21st century, nothing is more outdated, with the growth of the independent voter proving this fact. What it reveals is that people are getting increasingly disgruntled with only two choices and the people [...]
Alternative Presidential Debates: Johnson, Stein Advance in Free & Equal Debate, Nader Hosts DC Debate
Romney / Ryan and Obama / Biden are well past the Commission on Presidential Debates act of the Election 2012 production. For alternative party candidates, at least two more opportunities are scheduled. Although it’s probably safe to say that most people aren’t aware of the several “third party” debates provided this election year, it’s also [...]
‘Expanding the Debate,’ from Democracy NOW!, Johnson Declines Invitation
From Democracy NOW: On Monday, Oct. 22. 8:30 p.m. – midnight EDT we will continue our ‘Expanding the Debate’ series with a special live broadcast of the last presidential debate. We will pause the video after the 2 major party candidates answer each question to include real-time responses from the Green Party’s Jill Stein and [...]
Remaining Alternative Presidential Debate Schedule, Beginning Tonight
The number of debates featuring “third” party candidates seems significant to me. Naturally neither Romney nor Obama will accept the invitations they’ve received to several of these, both earlier and upcoming. But that so many people want to hear from non-Duopoly candidates, and that ways for that to happen are being created … that’s a [...]
Top Story: Scandal Erupts as Candy Crowley Reveals She Might Go Rogue [Agreement Leaked]
**Updated** MAKE SURE you tip toe around our elite establishment candidates, Ms. Crowley. They’ve agreed to certain rules, as has “the commission,” so you don’t want to go rogue and actually follow up on their canned answers, because Mr. Cool and Mr. Ice might get thrown off their game. If this doesn’t perfectly encapsulate our [...]
Another Alternative Presidential Debate Option: Free & Equal (VIDEO)
I know there’s a bit of a break between the first and next Commission for Presidential Debates productions, but you might want to put another option on your calendar. The CPD schedule: October 11 (Biden and Ryan); October 16 and 22 (Obama and Romney). On October 23, 8:00 PM Central, The Free & Equal Elections [...]
Expanding the Debate: Third Party Candidates Break the Sound Barrier As Obama-Romney Spar [Debate Video]
Last night Democracy NOW! provided the “expanded” debate coverage. At this link you’ll find the video. See the transcript here. As President Obama and Mitt Romney squared off for the first time on Wednesday night, Democracy Now! broke the sound barrier by pausing Obama and Romney’s answers to get real-time responses from candidates Jill Stein [...]
Democracy NOW! Expanded Debate Coverage Includes Stein and Anderson
Last week in another of several posts about the 2012 presidential “debates,” I included an idea from Anthony Noel, that of using TiVo to expand the Commission on Presidential Debates’ two party only production. Democracy NOW!, with Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzales, is actually using the same general idea. From Democracy NOW!: As President Barack [...]
Top Story: How Badly Do American Women Need Barack Obama?
“If President Obama is reelected on November 6th, it will be primarily because he ran against Mitt Romney. It he were running unapposed, 2012 would be a very tough fight for him.” – Mark Shields, “The News Hour” HAPPY WOMEN’S EQUALITY DAY, which on the eve of the Republican convention doesn’t seem like such a [...]
Romney In Shambles
IT’S THE TWITTER hashtag, #romneyinshambles, and it’s been trending for 24 hours. It’s the biggest legacy from Romney’s foreign policy gaffe tour. Jimmy Fallon, my fave, starts off the National Journal’s round-up of Romney jokes last night. Mentioning a town hall setting that will be part of the presidential campaign, he says one of the [...]
New Low on Romney Coverage
Politico, the unofficial web-branch of MSNBC, and whose staff spends more time on MSNBC than Chris Matthews, has a so-called reporter named Joseph Williams who all but called Mitt Romney a racist on Martin Bashir’s show today. – Breitibart POLITICO AND PENIS JOKES, lovely. But seriously, have people watched “Fox and Friends” lately? It’s a [...]
Stephen Colbert, Ron Paul and Others Take on Republicans and Democrats
The Colbert ReportGet More: Colbert Report Full Episodes,Political Humor & Satire Blog,Video Archive As much as our national media deserves criticism, a central focus in my book, some are at least offering alternative candidates airtime. Chuck Todd interviewed Rocky Anderson when he announced the formation of the Justice Party, Joe Scarborough invited Buddy Roemer on [...]
Progressive Notes: Keystone Action, Merkley on NDAA, MA Holds Hearings on Single Payer, The Justice Party, Progressive Caucus’ 99pct Bill and Other Doings
Art offers his perspective as a movement progressive activist. Our government is hated because it does not give an iota for those in need. NOT ONE. Case in point- this latest budget deal slashes 25pct of funds for those needing heating oil this winter. And yes, this is an improvement sadly because WH wanted 45 [...]
A Little Love Over to Rocky Anderson & the Justice Party
Pres. Obama’s getting a challenger from his left today when Rocky Anderson announces the creation of the Justice Party at 2:00 p.m. No one thinks it will challenge Obama in a serious way for election results, but it might give some Democrats, progressives and liberals a way to vote that won’t require them to hold [...]
