Little League Debate

09.29.04 (12:36 pm)   [edit]

A little league debate between the Green Party candidate for president, David Cobb, and the Libertarian Party candidate for president, Michael Badnarik, will be held at the Holiday Inn in Miami at 5 p.m. tomorrow...just hours before the Major League dust-up between the two candidates who actually have a chance to win on November 2.

We hope Badnarik takes some time to further expand on his contention, made just a few days ago, that former President Jimmy Carter was an International Man of Genius and that the United States should cut-and-run in Iraq the way we did in Vietnam.  And maybe he'll tell us exactly what he did to earn the Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz Malcolm X Award for which he is so proud.

Anyway, if you're not too busy washing your hair or something at 5 o'clock Eastern tomorrow, you can catch the Badnarik/Cobb debate at:

UPDATE: For those of you that may wonder what the "Al-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz Malcolm X Award" is the following should explain:



 Named for the civil rights activist and Muslim convert, assassinated in 1965, the award is inscribed:

"For showing courage of conviction in upholding American ideals, for demonstrating total honesty and integrity in dealing with fellow Americans of all religions, colors and creeds, and for doing the right thing at the right time and for the right reason. The coalescance of their convictions and commitments will be remembered as the the institutionalization of a US-wide civil rights movement."

This debate could easily decide the election as much as the Bush v Kerry "debate" (really a joint press conference) will- Badnarik is projected to get up to 5% of the votes in NM and NV, and Cobb's Green Party will likely take more votes away from Bush than Kerry this year, as Nader's supporters are voting for him again and even in 2000 there were nearly as many Republicans voting Green as Democrats.

Strange that Ralph Nader wasn't invited - or maybe he was and declined. The Libertarian party always drains off Republican voters dissatified with the leftward drift of their party. These people have cost the Republicans some very close elections and will do so again this year.

The Green party ... I think mostly they take votes away from the Democrats. But this year may be different, again due to conservatives upset with the Republican party.

It's easy for people like Badnarik to say the US should cut and run but that would defeat the entire purpose of going in there to begin with - namely to remove a brutal dictator from power, to remove a very real threat to the security of the region and hence the world and the return of very basic human rights and dignities to the Iraqi people. To leave now would be disastorous, as the Iranians would be guaranteed certain victory in their current insurgency. Which threat is worse, the one posed by the secular regime of Saddam or the Radical Islamic regime of Iran?
