Because they are all pushing for the same thing....let the government take care of you....instead of Stand on your own two feet and make something for yourselves.

I beg to differ. Lots of diversity on stage.
Two former Republicans.
A Socialist.
Two Democrats.
If they can unearth Ralph Nader, they could have a Green Party guy too.
The only thing they all have in common is how poorly each fared in their last election.
