"Next week Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are scheduled to meet for their third and final presidential debate, this time focusing on foreign policy. Although he will be on the ballot in at least 48 states on November 6, Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party's nominee, was not invited, lest an actual debate about foreign policy break out.".....................
Did you know that Jon Stewart has had Johnson on as a guest? I didn't agree with most of his positions, but was damn glad he at least got to say them to a big audience. Has FOX or any of those conservative radio or TV talk show hosts bothered to interview any other candidates?

Good question. I have heard Gary Johnson on conservative radio shows and the Fox News late night show Red Eye which leans libertarian. Correction: Red Eye had him on the show when Gary was still in the Republican primary.

Wish Johnson had a snowball's chance of being elected. He's certainly my choice. He should have at least been included in the debates. But then the two major parties have that pretty well sewn up - they don't want the electorate to be aware of real choices.

"Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson responded to the debate without mentioning his own exclusion:
America’s challenges and the crises we face demand a real debate — not dueling Phil Donahue acts carping at one another over who is worse.
I defy anyone who watched the debate to identify a plan from either the Republican or Democrat that will achieve a balanced budget. Behind the fuzzy math and the quibbling, there was nothing more than a commitment to continue the status quo — with at most a few minor adjustments. We don’t need adjustments. We need a fundamental reduction in the role and cost of government, and both Romney and Obama are fundamentally big-government guys."............................
