LP files Suit To Stop State Funding Of 3rd Debate
Mike Oliver writes "Arizona Libertarians have filed a lawsuit that could stop Arizona State University from sponsoring the third presidential debate between George Bush and Sen. John Kerry, scheduled for Oct. 13. The lawsuit maintains that by spending up to $2 million to sponsor the event in Tempe, the university is making an illegal campaign contribution to the Republican and Democratic parties."
Some candidates SHOULD BE REMOVED from the main political process.
The last thing I want to see on my TV is Leonard Peltier/Barry Bachrach, David Cobb/Pat LaMarche, or Michael Badnarik/Richard Campagna. Not to mention the fairly long list of other wackos 'running' for POTUS. http://www.us-election.com/index.php

To do otherwise might risk breaking the hegemony of the current two-party system.
The best way to protect the current two-party system is to let as many Libertarians as possible speak. As soon as they start robo-spouting Ayn Rand sound bites in response to earnest questions people will embrace the dual-party-opoly we have now.
