Is anyone going to watch the 3rd party debate tonight at 8 on Cspan?

Asked by SquirrelEStuff (10012points) October 19th, 2008

I know most of you on here are Obama supporters. I also know that alot of you are open minded. Does anyone plan on checking it out tonight??

I think it will be a good example of how scripted the 2 party debates and the “issues” really are.

I hadn’t heard, but now that I have, I probably will!

The Demmicans and Republicrats are peas in a pod. Would that we had some chance of third parties getting into power. I’m interested in what they have to say.

I would if I got CSpan.
Like laureth I wish there was a viable 3d party, but there seems to be so much vested interest in the status quo, attempts for a 3d party have been week.
Given that so many conservatives are unhappy with Bush and McCain, maybe one of the side-effects of this election will be a 3d party (with moderate conservatives splitting from the extreme radical right)

@jvgr

Here is the link to stream CSpan live on the web.

I know there is no chance of a 3rd party to win this year. My only hope is that people see the 2 party system and the media for the corrupt institutions they really are. I just want it to open some eyes.

It’s not listed on my Dish Network guide :-(

Also, looks like Barr won’t be there :-(

I have cspan on, and Mark Levin is on… not the third party debate.

Chris? What gives?

laureth's avatar

Yeah, I didn’t see it streaming, either.

aidje's avatar

Does anyone know where to find a non-streaming version? I thought it would be on YouTube, but I’m not seeing it thereā€¦ or anywhere else.

SquirrelEStuff's avatar

Sorry guys. Apparently no one actually confirmed that they would be there. There was no debate.

Here is the link saying there would be a debate.

Chris, you failed us all, that’s it, I’m voting that bush stays in office four more years

girlofscience's avatar

Well, I probably wouldn’t have turned on CSPAN at that time if it weren’t for this thread, so I’m glad I got to see Mark Levin. I had no idea who he was before that, but I could not believe what an asshole he is!

Sadness.
