Your reaction: third-party presidential debates in Chicago (health care system, thought, drugs)

[Aerio]

What were your reactions to the debates hosted in Chicago?

The candidates who debated were:

• Virgil Goode of the Constitution Party
• Jill Stein of the Green Party
• Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party
• Rocky Anderson of the Justice Party

The problems that were discussed included: (King said there were six, I may have missed one)

• War on Drugs
• Military spending/role of the USA in the military
• Is college worth it?
• Stance on detaining Americans indefinitely under NDAA
• What constitutional amendment would you introduce?

I thought Rocky Anderson displayed a strong presentation throughout the debate, though I didn't agree with his view on college education. On this problem, Virgil Goode and Gary Johnson were more realistic, even if I don't like what it means.

Yeah, the whole concept of a free college education in this country is pretty far fetched. I mean in a perfect world it would be nice and all, but it just isn't realistic.

I felt like Virgil Goode wasn't really interested in being there for the most part, or maybe he just seemed annoyed.

I thought Gary Johnson did really well, as I expected he would.

Jill Stein was great. A single payer health care system is desperately needed in this country.
