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


Way to go Philips! Makes me proud to own one of your plasma tv's!

Gary Johnson is suing them all to get on the stage. If he can get there he will win the debates and the election so he will never win any of the law suits.

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.

Wrong! Phillips makes the most compatible and useful DVD players - not to mention being among the least expensive. They are user friendly and reliable. I'll only buy this brand, since most of the others are in bed with the MPAA.

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.
 Quoting: Epic Beard Guy


That's not necessarily the point - it would be better for the American sheep to have a third party player in the debate that isn't bought and paid for just for calling out the lies of the other two establishment candidates for everyone to see.

It's time to have a prime time debate between all the presidential candidates, EXCEPT the reps and dems. Leave uglybama and mittens out of it and let's get some proper perspective from all the others. It could actually be several hours of interesting and honest dialog, and could raise the issues that the monopoly candidates won't.

Imagine several weeks of 1 hour debates. Much more interesting than "reality" shows, and less expensive.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24771574


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.
 Quoting: ReVbo™


Nobody in America, statistically speaking, knows who Johnson is.

And prepare for the overwhelming sub-MSNBC ratings.

Stop operating under the assumption that people react to facts and reason. The current White House usurper prove that this is a flawed outlook.

Emotion is the key.

Gary Johnson will never get elected because only 2% of Americans consider themselves libertarians. The only purpose that Johnson is serving is helping keep Obama in office.

Putting him on national television in the debates will only serve that purpose even moreso.

These are the rest of the sponsors if you'd like to give then a piece of your mind:

The Howard G. Buffet Foundation
Sheldon S. Cohen, Esq.
Crowell & Moring LLP
International Bottled Water Association (IBWA)
The Kovler Fund

I already have two awesome Phillips DVD players that you can plug a flash drive into to watch avi and other videos (a HUGE convenience) and this decision by the company to pull their ads from the presidential debates for the reason it gave is enough to convince me to look for PHILLIPS-branded electronics ONLY as my first choice from now on!

 Quoting: tandym

Nice to read this.

The Dutch mentality is that we don't mind to share our wealth - up to a certain point - 'cos it's better for business when the people you employ feel they are part of 'the family'.

Besides that it's better for the social climate when those who rely on welfare have enough to eat.

I think sharing is much more fun than keeping everything to yourself.
