Samuel Wilson: C-SPAN- '1992 3rd Party Presidential Debate'

Source:Samuel Wilson- Howard Phillips: 1992 presidential nominee for the Tax Payers Party.

"This was a very interesting debate held in 1992, which featured Lenora Fulani of the New Alliance Party; John Hagelin of the Natural Law Party and Howard Phillips of the United States Taxpayers Party." 

From Samuel Wilson

This is one of the reasons why I love C-SPAN, because they don't just cover Democrats and Republicans, but all of the political party's that have a voice and message. Now, they obviously cover the Democrats and Republicans more, because those are the party's that are always in power. At least until a third-party emerges and knocks them out-of-power.

The main problem with a two-party System in a country, thats as politically as diverse as ours and is as big as ours, both in land and in population, is that Democrats and Republicans aren't simply big enough to speak to the concerns and politics of the whole country. 

40% of the country is not a Democrat or a Republican and are either not registered or a member of a third-party that better represents their political beliefs. Whether they are more to the right or left than Democrats and Republicans or are in the center. And they are the largest voting block in the United States. And I believe C-SPAN recognizes this and has decided that other voices should be represented, especially in a liberal democracy, thats as big and diverse as ours.

What C-SPAN did back in 1992 and I believe they still do, at least to a certain extent today, is something that I wish other networks (broadcast, cable or whatever) if these third party's, even if a third party is fairly strong, for a third party, like the Reform Party back in 1996, aren't able to get into the presidential debates, these party's should comes together and form third-party debates between the Socialists, Libertarians and Independents and so-forth and give them about the same amount of time as the major party presidential debates. 

If third-party debates did well, you see if C-SPAN, PBS, maybe CNN, picks them up or tries to get them up. And you would see our entire political spectrum in this country represented. That goes from Far-Left, to the Far-Right and everything else in between. Americans are looking for other voices in American politics and a system like this would give it to them.

CBS News: Face The Nation- Alabama Governor George Wallace (1965)

"On the March 4, 1965 edition of Face the Nation, Alabama Gov. George Wallace on charges of police brutality in Selma, Ala., the Sunday prior in what is now known as "Bloody Sunday." (CBS NEWS)" 

From CBS News 

The late George C. Wallace (the former Governor of Alabama) that was sort of half Progressive and half Neo-Confederate: someone you would see on the Far-Right of the Republican Party on social policy and part of the Center-Left of the Democratic Party or even Republican Party, because he was a Progressive on economic policy, but a Federalist as well. He wanted government to help people in need and to see that everyone has a shot at success in America, but believed the states should have the primary governmental responsibility when it game to government involvement in the economy. 

A good way to look at George Wallace's politics: think of Nelson Rockefeller on economic policy, who was also a Progressive-Federalist and Strom Thurmond on social policy, who was a Neo-Confederate, first with the Democratic Party and later with the Republican Party. 

George Wallace was essentially a Progressive Democrat, as it related to public infrastructure, public education, and other economic issues, but conservative in a federalist, sense that he believed the states should be controlling all of these things. He might even of been in favor of the Great Society of the 1960s, but wouldn't want the Federal Government to run these programs, that the country would be better off, if the states and locals ran these programs instead, 

So Governor Wallace was a man with progressive leanings on economic policy, but a Conservative in the sense that he believed in states rights and local control. The states rights issue, at least as far as I'm concern, didn't make him an extremist, except for as it related to civil rights, had he believed that the states were in better position to run all of these programs, but also believed in civil rights, equal protection, under the law for everybody, he would've been in the mainstream in the conservative movement on those issues. And more of a Progressive-Federalist on economic policy, that government has a major role to play in providing basic human services, but the States should run the programs, not the Federal Government.

I'm not going to say that George Wallace is the example of what an Independent should be in America. And what the Independence Party should be. But on economic and fiscal policy, he would fit in very well: government has a role to provide basic human services, but it's limited. And that government has a responsibility to spend every tax dollar that it collects responsibly and that the role it has in society should be limited and only tax enough to meet those services and thats consistent with strong economic and job growth, where we are not piling on debt and running huge deficits, especially in good economic times. 

America needs a strong conservative party, that believe in economic freedom, but also personal freedom as well. That allows Americans to live their own lives, instead of government trying to decide for them, how they should live. As well as believing in fiscal responsibility, as it relates to the entire Federal budget, not just the safety net, as well as limited government. And we are not getting that right now from the Republican Party, that thanks to Tea Party Christian-Right-Wing, has become an exclusive Far-Right, statist party.

Did the NHL not learn a damn thing from 2004-05, I mean only in the NHL when their popularity and revenue is up. They do something to mess it up, they haven't figured out that they are both better off, when management and the players are getting their cut, rather then trying to one up the other.

"Rick Santorum" — A BLR Soundbite" 

From Bad Lip Reading

Imagine this: you’re a member of the opposition party, facing a President that has presided over the Great Recession (the worst recession we’ve had since the Great Depression of the 1930s) you’re facing a President that’s also presided over a fairly modest if not weak economic recovery (we are still growing at around 2% GDP with 8.2% unemployment) and you run your worst possible candidate to try to defeat the sitting President, in Rick Santorum. In fairness to Senator Santorum: Michele Bachmann's presidential campaign didn't make it to January. And Sarah Palin didn't bother to run for President.Perhaps she can't get a fly of Alaska. 

The up in-coming presidential election is almost completely about the economy, at least to Independent voters that will decide the presidential election. So all you need is a presidential nominee that can talk economics and communicate a plan back to strong economic growth. And bring down our high unemployment rate. You do that and ask the question: “Are you better off today, then you were four years ago?” You win the presidential election by 5-10 points and take Congress with you.

I just laid out the perfect storm for how Republicans should be able to win back the White House. But the problem is we are dealing with a Republican Party that’s now dominated by Christian-Nationalists that believe gay marriage and pornography are bigger threats to the country, than terrorism or the weak economic recovery. 

The Far-Right in America, doesn't live in the same world as sane people. They care more about ideological purity than they do winning presidential elections. Someone who represents their Far-Right, big government political ideology, then winning the presidential election and doing what’s in the best interest of the country.

The whole reason why Rick Santorum is seen as a serious contender for the presidential nomination, is because he appeals to Christian-Fundamentalists and blue-collar Republicans. When thirty years ago he would’ve been seen as nothing more than a Far-Right presidential candidate, like Pat Robertson. Like an escaped mental patient who wondered into a political convention and just got this vision that he was President of the United States and got someone to fill out the paperwork for him.

But the problem with the GOP today is that they have more Pat Robertson’s than Barry Goldwater’s or Ron Reagan’s, when it comes to social Issues and national security. Sure, the Far-Right has it’s presidential candidate. And a competitive shot at winning the presidential nomination. The problem for the GOP is most of the country isn’t part of the Far-Right. And someone like a Rick Santorum would have a hard time winning 45% of the vote. And would kill the GOP’s chances of retaining the House and winning back the Senate.

From Ann Telles 

I do believe it's possible that there would be some so called Euro superstate in the future, where large countries in Europe like Germany, France, Italy, Spain and others would come together and form a United Republic of Europe. 

Nigel Farage a Brit is an example of why Britain would never join this new union, because he's not the only Brit that believes that the current European Union doesn't work. Plenty of people on both the right and left in Britain tend not be pro-European Union. Perhaps believing that the UK should be part of the EU, but never to the point that the UK should surrender any of it's independence as a national state to Brussels or anyone else in Europe. A perfect example of this would be when the UK didn't join the Euro currency in the late 1990s. 

Nigel Farage is a British Nationalist who believes not only should Britain not join some potential future Federal Europe, but that the United Kingdom should leave the EU all together and perhaps even the United Nations. Which is strange in a country that tends to be pro-internationalist and working with their allies to keep the peace in the world.
