Philips Electronics has pulled its sponsorship of the 2012 presidential debates, citing a desire not to associate itself with "partisan politics."

If it would make a bit of difference, we'd all be jumping up and down. I admire Philips for taking the stand, but they'll just find another sponsor. No way those assholes allow Johnson in the debates. Sucks, but there it is.

If Gary had a chance in hell of being elected, I would be right there telling all the sponsors to pull out. Unfortunately, he does not have a chance. He wouldn't be elected if Oblabla and Mitt were both hit be righteous lightning and killed on the eve of the election. Nobody wants to elect someone with common sense. Common sense is so rare, it could be classified as a super power.
Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.

The bigger question is why do presidential debates have "sponsors" in the first place?

At least this one got pinned. This story came thru earlier a few times and got almost no views.


If somehow another party/parties were allowed in neither Romney or Obama would ever agree to the debate.

that's supposed to be freedom FROM religion

religion is as antiquated and useless, but used against us, as the right/left red/blue bs.

What? It wasn't partisan when they originally agreed to sponsor the debates?

The election will be a tie. Chief Justice Roberts will decide the winner on Thanksgiving Day with both Romney and Obama pulling on opposite ends of a turkey wish bone.
