I was watching four third-party candidates debate last night on CSPAN. Present were the presidential candidates of the Constitutional, Green, Socialist, and Libertarian Parties.
There were many crackpot left/right answers given on a variety of subjects, the Greens and Socialists WAY left of Kerry, and the Constitutional and Libertarian parties being WAY right of Bush. It was a spirited debate with some interesting points, but when the topic of the Patriot Act came up, I really took note.
All four right/left wing wackos agreed 100% that the Patriot Act was a violation of civil/individual rights and the Constitution. That's got make you sit up and take notice. When the far left and the far right agree so completely on something, it's got to make you think twice about where the country's headed under Bush and Co.
