"Ironic that a libertarian is trying to use the government to force his way into a privately funded event."
Not at all. You are confusing Libertarians with Anarchists. Completely different. Libertarians do not oppose the justice system whatsoever. If anything, Libertarians have a problem with the legislative and executive braches of the government over-reaching their constitutional limitaitons.

In this case, why wouldn't a presidetial cadidate on the ballot be allowed to have a voice in a debate if there wasn't a two party collusion against it.

Show me chapter and verse where the Constitution says all fringed ideologues have a right to be heard.

no, I'm not. I know what libertarians believe - I hold some of the same beliefs.

Here's an analogies for you: The masters. Smoking bans in bars. Libertarians trying to get into a private event via the the court system.

The commission is a private organization. Not public. It's made up of the two parties. There is not constitutional authority that can give a private party the right to force their way into the debate. The debate is being held with privately raised funds as well.

This is almost as pathetic as the constitution party candidate saying he'll ban all abortions with an executive order that re-inteprets the 5th amendment.

The Libertarin party is once again reminding me why I don't call my self a libertarian. They're sadly little more than a joke.

Congratulations. The LP is the party of the courts. Repeal almost all laws and then only AFTER you are harmed, you go to the courts. Note, also, that they want the court system privatized and subject only to a review panel consisting of, you got it, lawyers!

However, in this case the LP sued BEFORE they were wronged. Anything wrong with that picture? Can you imagine a world of private judges and everyone suing everyone for actions they think WILL happen but have not happened yet.

Because in the last election they only got 0.36 percent of the vote and polls show no improvement.

I think the point is that Libertarians are using government coercion to force a private business to give them a public platform.

Because the race for the presidency is about electing the executive leader of the United States, a very serious and important role. It is not about a freak show.
