The debates are over and many issues were discussed — the economy, foreign policy, education.

But the candidates weren't asked about many other issues, like abortion and homosexuality.

The Rebuplicratz debates are over but the Third party candidates are still debating, last night ‘Free & Equal (http://freeandequal.org/) hosted a great debate with 2012 presidential candidates Jill Stein (Green Party), Gary Johnson (Libertarian Party), Virgil Goode (Constitution Party), and Rocky Anderson (Justice Party). The debate was moderated by Larry King.

They will be hosting another debate on Oct 30th between the leading top two from this debate (http://freeandequal.org/updates/second-2012-presidential-debate-october-30-in-washington-dc/)

Many voters in this nation haven’t stopped debating and believe there is still much to debate that has not been touched. These third party candidates spoke boldly about war, drugs, education, immigration, amendments, term limits and one big one that hasn’t been touched by the two other party debates: climate change.
