    While I don't think showing up at the debate trying to make a point was the most effective way, I clearly feel the punishment was uncalled for...

    Is this the new direction our Country is heading in? This is ridiculous...

    Like a typical lib, she was probably going to try and interrupt the debate by shouting something out in the middle of it. She would have been escorted out of the building kicking and screaming the whole way. Now she and her supporters will cry victim.

    Jill Stein get ZERO support from the progressives here. They are all in the tank for President Drone McGitmo.

    That's why the Left's anti-war stance is a sham.

    And people wonder why third party candidates aren't invited to debates? If that's the sort of 'leadership' they show, they are a rung lower than Obama, and I wasn't sure you could even go lower than Obama... Wow!

    In other news Milosevic arresting opposition leaders was an insult to democracy

    Well, you basically live under a two-party plutocracy, with ad-paying corporations deciding whose voice is going to be heard and whose is not. It's been like that for a long time. Sadly people just don't seem to care.

    Yet tons of conservatives are willing to throw their vote away this election. Sad.

    Wow a correct statement. Another point that the 2 parties really have 1 agenda.

    If it were left up to the pro Obama "progressive" news media only one voice would be heard.

    And that would be Der Black Fuhrer telling us how great he is.

    Conservatives created their own voice with Fox News and talk radio.

    The fringe greenies will have to do the same.

    Spare me your ignorance. There is no proof she interrupted the debate in any way. If you have proof she did, then post it. This isn't some conspiracy against your God (Romney). It was a Candidate for the POTUS at a debate. A debate that her rivals were involved in. She broke no law by being there...she wasn't just escorted out of the building...she was arrested man. For no reason other than she was outside of the two party system.

    Like I said, was it a smart move for her to show up there? Not so much. But to be arrested for it? Absolutely wrong...

    I agree, at the same time, can't really blame her for showing up, but I don't know how she behaved either. But my guess is with yours, that the detention was unnecessary.

    Sounds like the two party scam at it's finest hour.

    Only to the extent that I'm a hyper-partisan hack... :)

    Grain of salt and all that...

    You do indeed just hear one voice, no matter whether you watch Fox or CNN. It’s basically the one of Goldmann Sachs et al. who finance both Romney's and Obama's campaign:

    All the partisan bickering is just a big entertainment-show trying to hide that fact from you.

    As long as one's ballot makes it into the ballot box, NO vote is thrown away.
