Third Party Debate / Nader Vs. Baldwin

I haven't watched this yet but just found out that a Third Party Debate was held, no thanks to the media. Only Ralph Nader and Chuck Baldwin decided to participate.

I thought that this was a good debate. I would have like to have seen a debate with the third party candidates along with Obama and McCain.

They talked somewhat of the difficulties placed in there path's by the two main parties in order to keep them out of the election process.

Baldwin made an excellent point. He commented on how hypocritical our government is when we liberate other nations and encourage 10, 15, or 20 party involvement in democratic elections and then we come back home to America and they only allow two parties.

More should be allowed to participate!

I agree. Our country is hypocritical in a lot of areas. But you can't publically say that...you won't get elected. Or if you're just a regular Joe like you and I, people call you Anti-American.

What happened to the American democratic value of questioning political authority?
