Talk Show Icon King to Moderate 3rd Party Debate
Larry King To Moderate Third Party Candidate Debates
Larry King, the celebrated talk show host accustomed to A-list interview guests, has agreed to moderate a debate featuring a squad of minor-party presidential candidates.
The former CNN giant will guide next Tuesday’s debate in Chicago, which will be broadcast on the Internet. The candidates taking part are the Libertarian Party‘s Gary Johnson, the Green Party’s Jill Stein, the Constitution Party‘s Virgil Goode and the Justice Party’s Rocky Anderson.
King told The Associated Pressthat it’s clear none of them will win, but he said they all deserve a voice in the presidential race. Democrats and Republicans are keeping tabs on Johnson and Goode, two ex-Republicans who could be factors in key battleground states.
Jesse Ventura: US should abolish inherently corrupt political parties
Wednesday, October 13, 2010A dozen years after shocking the nation with an upset win as an Independent candidate in the 1998 Minnesota gubernatorial election, former wrestler Jesse Ventura doesn’t support third parties anymore.
“Win if you can, lose if you must, but ALWAYS cheat,” Jesse “The Body” Ventura infamously said in his days as a wrestling villain, but Tuesday night he blasted such Machiavellian philosophies.Ventura told ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that he wouldn’t vote for his former employer Linda McMahon in her bid to become Senator even if he could “[b]ecause i don’t vote for Democrats or Republicans. If she ran as an independent, she could possibly get my endorsement. But I refuse.”Ventura added, “I no longer support the third party movement.”ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOWJesse Ventura: US should abolish inherently corrupt political parties 150709banner2Having A Supply Of Healthy Foods That Last Just Makes Sense AD“Why not?” the ABC interviewer asked.Ventura elaborated, “I believe the system is so corrupt, the two parties have corrupted it so bad, that any thirty party, in which to be successful, will likewise have to corrupt itself.
If you already have a two-headed monster, why would you need three?”The answer is “to abolish parties,” Ventura added. “Do not put a name of a party below the person’s name on the ballot. It’s too easy to say, I’m a Republican. And you walk in: Republican, Republican, Republican. You’re voting the party, not the person. And that’s the way it’s all set up.”Ventura also appeared on CNN Tuesday night, telling Larry King video at this link why he enjoys hosting his “Conspiracy Theory” show, “I love to attack our government.”
