FOX Business Network Hosts Libertarian Presidential Debate — No Comments

  1. I wont be as interested in the one on Fox News because I am more interested in Bob Barr and Wayne Allen Root. The second one should be interesting. If only it was televised.

  2. Notice how they aren’t including all of the Libertarian Presidential candidates, not even the other top contenders? Not suprising from Fox News.

  3. Root & Gravel are colluding on the exclusion game libertarians accuse the MSM of doing — excluding anybody who can really challenge them. That speaks volumes about the character and integrity.

  4. Has any one heard if or when C-Span will be covering the LP nominating session?

  5. It’s a positive for all third parties that their is this debate on national cable tv news…..

    Glad to see Mike Gravel accepted.

    thanks for coverage.

  6. “Also, Reason Magazine hosts a 3-person debate on May 20 in Washington, DC, at 4 pm eastern time. That debate will not be televised, but will include Gravel, Root, and Barr.”

    Notice how the “cosmotarian” Reason Magazine keeps the hardcore Libertarians – Mary Ruwart and Steve Kubby – out of the debate.

  7. “Anon Says:

    Andy…this is Fox Business Network, not Fox News.”

    Ewww, big difference. (sarcasm)

  8. The nomination will be decided at the convention anyway. All these debates are just fluff as the delegates will have a chance to meet and hear from every candidate before deciding. The state primaries will have no impact on the nomination.
