8:38PM CST

The first report from St. Louis is in - and presidential candidates Michael Badnarik (Libertarian) and David Cobb (Green Party) were just arrested. Badnarik was carrying an Order to Show Cause, which he intended to serve the Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD). Earlier today, Libertarians attempted to serve these same papers at the Washington, D.C. headquarters of the CPD - but were stopped from approaching the CPD office by security guards.

Fred Collins reported to me from the ground that Badnarik and Cobb are in great physical condition and great spirit.

As soon as more details are available, they will be posted here immediately.

Abortion on demand.

No. How about over turning Roe V Wade and defunding government sponsored abortion mills?

[NYC GOP Chick]

Er... let me guess... because these are supposed to be debates between Presidential candidates? What are you so worried about? If these guys are such kooks, George and John oughta be able to make them look like idiots with no problems right?

Er...it's because only candidates with a reasonable chance of receiving Electoral votes should be up there, instead of every kook and freak with the $ to file an application to run.

[Dead Corpse]

Eliminate public education, eliminate drug laws, eliminate state sponsored marriages.

Like the FedGov has done such a good job with those. Killign the NEA alone would be worth it.

[Dead Corpse]

Boo-hoo. Cry me a river. So only a few MILLION people are represented. What is the big deal? Where the debates so riveting that the addition of a couple of "amatures" would be too much?

2. Not friggin likely. Incest is still out.

Please read their platform. If fact, it would be legal for a minor daughter to marry her adult father.

They need to let him go....

Badnarik heard that President Bush had some wood and he was interested.......

Instead of stomping all over other countries, we send hunter-killers in to kill the terrorists. Letter of M&R worked with Barbary.

Sending the United States Navy and Marine Corps in were what finished off the Barbary Pirates. Letters of marque and reprisal would be useless in modern times. Any mercenaries out there who would be willing to work for plunder? I hear that Al Qaeda has cell phones and cars and everything. And heaven knows that your average mercenary is as well trained as a US Special Forces soldier.

[Dead Corpse]

Need I remind you that at one point the Republican party itself was a third party? Were they the "kooks" of their time?

[NYC GOP Chick]

You're the one crying, not me, you "amature." :D Sorry, but to give kooks (especially such anti-American creeps) undeserved national exposure makes no sense.

Understand this: HE HAS NO CHANCE OF WINNING. NOT EVEN CLOSE. NOT ONE STATE, NOT ONE ELECTORAL VOTE. Most people -- sane people -- want to hear what the men who realistically might win have to say about certain issues.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Oh, geez. You're going to compare ~150 years ago to today? Get real, and stop wasting my time with nonsense.

[WildTurkey]

1. No welfare, no hand outs

Just millions of new "citizens" going around stealing your purse or robbing your house.

[WildTurkey]

3. legal yes. But not free. let those who would destroy their lives do so. It is after all, a free country. You'd also have to foot your own medical bills resulting from your habits.

Kids buying crack legally on the way to the prom ...

[DaughterOfAnIwoJimaVet]

That and we couldn't have our boy George shown up by someone who has acutally read the Constitution.

Go ahead - lash out at the POTUS. I'm sure he understands. It's gotta be frustrating being a Libertarian.

[Dead Corpse]

Yer' right. George would get hit with the first question on the Constitution and get that lost look on his face.

Never mind. You are right he has no chance of winning. Still, does that mean his voice is so threatening? Make him look like the kook he is on national TV. Just don't frigging censor it.

[WildTurkey]

4. No war on terrorism unless we got hit first. Instead of stomping all over other countries, we send hunter-killers in to kill the terrorists. Letter of M&R worked with Barbary. You think oil would be a lesser incentive?

Uh, we have already been hit, multiple times and they have openly declared war on us.

How are you going to kill the terrorists when it is the "STATE" that is the terrorist without 'stomping all over their country?

[Dead Corpse]

Just millions of new "citizens" going around stealing your purse or robbing your house.

Thanks for bringing that up... unrestricted REAL Second Amendment views. You could shoot any would be robbers wit ha fricken Howitzer if you could afford one. Unlike George's "I'll sign a weapons ban if it hits my desk" stance.

[WildTurkey]

5. Put a bad drug on the market and those suing you for damages would OWN you.

Oh yeah, I forgot. Privatization of the court system. You get the best decision that money can buy! A plan Edwards would love!

[Dead Corpse]

Kids buying crack legally on the way to the prom ...

Just like they do today, but we spend billions now trying unsuccessfully to stop them.

[NYC GOP Chick]

Yer' right. George would get hit with the first question on the Constitution and get that lost look on his face.

Dream on.

Never mind. You are right he has no chance of winning. Still, does that mean his voice is so threatening? Make him look like the kook he is on national TV. Just don't frigging censor it.

How many other kooks do you want to put up there? Look how many declared "candidates" there are: http://www.politics1.com/p2004.htm
Should each and every one of them get some time up there? Sheesh...
