"Gonzalez, Libertarian Wayne Allyn Root and the Constitution Party's Darrell Castle argued for ideas like getting rid of federal income taxes and making the government pay for health care. They made their arguments before an audience of about 80 locals, plus a live webcast, at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas' Tam… (more) Alumni Center.
The debate was sponsored by Free & Equal Elections, a group that advocates for easier third-party ballot access. All three candidates are on the Nevada ballot. Root lives in Henderson and works as a sports handicapper. The Constitution Party is known in Nevada as the Independent American Party.
Some areas of agreement emerged among the candidates, even though Gonzalez's politics are on the far left of the spectrum and Root and Castle occupy different niches of the far right. All expressed distaste for the level of military spending and military involvement in other countries, especially the Iraq war. " (less)
