polling shows." Shouldn't we heed to the opinion of these 40 or 50% of people in America? Does that not restore the freedom of speech of American public?

The final argument for the third party candidates is that they will not be afraid to broach subjects that the democratic or republican party candidates would rather evade. They do not have to worry about offending any of their big money donors. They are also fearless of defeat and hence would be totally truthful and forceful in discussion about any matter. I can see Senators Obama and McCain trembling about the prospect of Bob Barr asking about how well their policies protect the constitution and whatever it stands for. Or Ralph Nader asking about how their policies do anything that helps America's middle class. What better way to open up the debates than this and let all parties and ideologies, not just Republican and Democratic ones, be heard across America, from sea to shining sea.

So in conclusion, we should all urge The Commission on Presidential Debates to include the third party or independent candidates in the debate and see the democracy and freedom of speech flourish. This would enable the debates to actually reveal and cross examine the effectiveness and honesty of the policies of all the candidates. I would only help America. I do not see how it could hurt America. God bless America.
