OK, explain this to me then - isn't it COMPLETELY antithetical ("The opposite" if you don't know that word) to the ideas of Freedom and Democracy for the presidential debates to be conducted by a private corporation? No checks and balances, no true options, no true freedom. If any place is not the place for a private corporation to be involved, it is the most public part of presenting the candidates for leading this so-called free country to the people who will vote for them? Why are all possble options not being presented?
As far as property rights - what "property" do they allegedly have "rights" to? The presidential candidates themselves? Or some fake dog & pony show that misleads the public into thinking it is an official presentation of the government?
I have no respect for their rights since they are essentially saying that my rights (Properly selecting the best candidate to give my vote for president) belong to them.
I spit on them as an American who values freedom.
Are you too dumb to fear this?

The Commission on Presidential Debates isn't a governmental entity--it's a private corporation. Why doesn't Badnarik, as a "libertarian", respect their property rights?
