5. I only wish EVERY voter would wartch this program.

Or maybe I don't! After they watch this program, they may ALL decide to vote for some ome other than a Dem or a Pub! It's really disgusting how the two parties have scamed the American people with staged and overly regulated (by their own attorneys) debates! It's no wonder 37% watched them in 2000. Who knows how many will watch this time.

7. Fantastic show

All 3 segments were great.

My favorite part though, was in the 3rd segment. Broncachio(if that's close) began asking a question. He said, "Now, you were talking about this conspiracy by the two parties", involving bankrupting the country with yet another tax cut. He slid his right hand into his jacket pocket, and it looked like he was going to take out a gun, and say, "Well not any more you're not". He was reaching for a credit card, but I thought it was funny.

8. Listening to Pete Peterson, I almost want Shrub to win!

If he's right, the next president is going to doom his party for years! Interest rates will go up, the dollar will fall, and America will be in financial disaster!

The next president has to give the country a massive dose of truth telling!

10. If I could read, I'd get that book...... he has his feet on the ground,

and needs to be widely heard.

US MEDIA -- Are You Listening???

11. Peter Peterson "Running on Empty" on c-span Sun 8PM est.

Watch it if you can. I just saw a little of an interview of him yesterday, and it should be worth your time.

[Kanary]

13. wow, thanks!

I skimmed over the BookTV schedule, and somehow missed this one.

How 'bout you post a thread about this one.....it's important enough for DUers to get an alert about it.

:hi:

12. What a great show

I learned a lot about the history of the debates.
I also didn't know it was the league of women voters
which led the old white men of the Democratic and Republican
parties to create the "Commission on presidential debates"

we sure do have a long way to go in this country

[Kanary]

14. Oh, yes! The League of Women Voters was truly a force to be

reckoned with! Their accomplishments were legendary, and their absence shows how important they were.

sigh.....

17. it is so offensive the stuff we are not taught about our history

It pisses me off and takes so much work just
to stay informed and learn the history that is
left out of history books .
