No Democracy in America



Uploaded by: mrgrieves9876
Video Description:
This is a clip from the film AN UNREASONABLE MAN
======================================== ===
From answers.com:
"Though the commission [on Presidential Debates] is meant to sound like a official government arm, it is actually a private entity, funded entirely by corporate contributions from companies like AT &T, IBM, Philip Morris, and others."
To this day, even after shutting out Ralph Nader, the COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTAL DEBATES is still rigged by former Republicans and former Democrats. ======================================== === The following mission statement is from the COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES' own website. Take note o
f the LIE in the last sentence where they insist that they sponsored "ALL" candidates! ======================================== == "The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 to ensure that debates, as a permanent part of every general election, provide the best possible in
formation to viewers and listeners. Its primary purpose is to sponsor and produce debates for the United States presidential and vice presidential candidates and to undertake research and educational activities relating to the debates. The organization, which is a nonprofit, nonpartisan corporation,
sponsored all the presidential debates in 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004." ======================================== === WHY AREN'T THE MAJOR NEWS MEDIA NETWORKS RUNNING THESE DEBATES. WHY IS A PRIVATE CORPORATION RUN BY DEMOCRATS AND REPUBLICANS RUNNING THE PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES? HOW CAN THE DEB
ATES BE TRUSTED IF THEY ARE RIGGED BY THE TWO LEADING PARTIES WHICH ARE MERELY TWO SIDES OF THE SAME WORTHLESS COIN? WHY ARE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ALLOWING THIS SHAM TO CONTINUE? IT IS IN THEIR OWN SELF INTEREST FOR THE COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES NOT TO ALLOW THIRD-PARTY CANDIDATES TO PARTIC
IPATE IN PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES. THE DEMOCRATS AND THE REPUBLICANS HAVE AN UNLAWFUL MONOPOLY ON WHO MAY OR MAY NOT PARTICIPATE IN THE US PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES. ======================================== === Read the CANDIDATE SELECTION PROCESS on the COMMISSION ON PRESIDENTIAL DEBATES own website: http
://www.debates.org/pages/candsel2... ==========+===FROM ANSWERS.COM============= The Commission on Presidential Debates (CPD) was established in 1987 by the Democratic and Republican parties to ensure that debates, as a permanent part of every general election, provide the best possible information
to viewers and listeners. Though the commission is meant to sound like a official government arm, it is actually a private entity, funded entirely by corporate contributions from companies like AT &T, IBM, Philip Morris, and others.
The Commission sponsors and produces debates for the United States presidential and vice presidential candidates and undertakes research and educational activities relating to the debates. The organization, which is a nonprofit, bi-partisan corporation, sponsored each of the presidential debates h
eld since 1988. The Commission has moderated the 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000 and 2004 debates. Prior to this, the League of Women Voters moderated the 1976, 1980, 1984 debates. During the 2000 election, the CPD stipulated that that candidates would only be invited to debate if they had a 15 percent supp
ort level across five national polls. Ralph Nader believed that the regulation was created to stifle the views of third party candidates by keeping them off the televised debates. Nader brought a lawsuit against them in a federal court, on that basis that corporate contributions violate the Federal
Election Campaign Act

Elitest US Political Republican-Demoratic Monoparty similarities: a lack of specifics, a reliance on campaign-trail sound bites and an inability to answer a question directly. Bought and paid for by the same coin.

You think that these cops would lose their morale and become affected by Ralph Naders appeal to what really are their own interests at stake and join the movement.

Jesse Ventura was elected Govenor Of Minnesota when he was allowed to debate. With 7 weeks to go before the election, he had 10% of the vote. Nader brings real change, reform, and hope to US politics. Obama and McCain should serve their love of country under a Nader Administration of authentic change, reform and hope that walks the walk truest to the best of America and her people. God bless America!

Questions for Obama ... ( 1 month ago by votenaderthisyear)
Questions for Obama and McCain:
Senators, you voted for the $700 billion bailout. Can you tell us why?
If you favor the bail out package how come we don't hear you publically discussing its merits and virtues?
We only hear about it from Paulson
Have we abdicated our goverment to the secretary of treasury, Paulson, who just a couple of years ago was an ardent capitalist at Goldman Sachs, cashed out and now is the US's largest proponent of socialism?

I'm debating whether to send my next hundred dollar donation to Nader again, or the Federation of Light. At least if I gave money to the Federation I would have received my little grey men suit by now, whereas, I'm going on my 3rd week waiting for my Let Ralph Debate sign from the Official Nader Store and the 8 dollar UPS fee. And he wants to run the country? WTF??
This is an ... ( 1 month ago by WOLF333999)
This is an excellent excerpt. In less than 10 minutes, it shows how utterly corrupt the American political system was a few years ago (and -- believe me -- it's even more corrupt today).
Also, in my opinion, the deliberate oppression of third parties by the Democrats and Republicans is plenty of reason not to vote for either of those two (or is that one?) dominant parties for as long as they continue this oppression; and of course they'll continue it because it's in their own inte
rest.

Nader is becoming a total egotripping con artist who is ruining his legacy with a dysfunctional organization. Man what a sham! Four years ago he talked about getting viable independent candidates to run in his place. Yeah right, here's another hundred bucks Ralph, enjoy your dinner and next TV appearance. Makes me wanna puke, what a disgusting front from what needs to become a real 3rd party candidacy people can believe in!

Democracy is just a word in America. It's total BS, every time people choose between Republicans and Democrats. They are pretty much the same. Yes, democrats will stop the war in Iraq, but I think they will have to do that because Iran is next on the list.
