Democracy Now Asks Third Party Candidates Questions From Last Night's Debate

Posted by Unknown on from the third-party-circus dept.

As they did with the first debate, Democracy Now has published the debate questions answered by third party candidates. Jill Stein (Green), Virgil Goode (Constitution), and Rocky Anderson (Justice) were present. There's a (long) video with the answers spliced in, and (thankfully) a transcript of all their answers. Gary Johnson was not present, but you can catch him debating Jill Stein Thursday October 18th at 7 p.m. EDT.

    I thought the Libertarian candidate was Mitt Romney.

    Mitt Romney is a conservative. Conservatism has three pillars:
    1. Economic conservatism (low taxes and free markets)
    2. Social conservatism (public religion, opposition to abortion)
    3. National defense conservatism (high defense spending)
    Libertarians only agree with Mitt on #1.
