Saner than the GOP: The Salem Presidential Debate

Election 2012

By DAVID S. BERNSTEIN | November 3, 2011

In what may very well be the most important political event of the year, two presidential candidates are scheduled to debate this Friday evening in Salem, Massachusetts.

UPDATED: It happened! Watch archived video of the Vermin Supreme vs. Aleister Crowley debate here

Actually, it will almost certainly not be even slightly important. It might even make a complete mockery of presidential politics and debates.

In other words: don't miss it!

The two candidates facing off are ALEISTER CROWLEY, deceased Englishman, philosopher, and perhaps Satanist; and VERMIN LOVE SUPREME, inveterate campaigner and dental-hygiene enthusiast.

Crowley — should he not reanimate — will be represented by Joseph Thiebes, who coordinates Crowley's write-in campaign at ac2012.com. The debate will be moderated by me, David S. Bernstein of the Boston Phoenix.

Crowley and Supreme have feuded ever since I set them against each other, back in the spring.

Both have been excluded from previous presidential debates, which have been restricted to fringe candidates who reject modern science, history, and economics.

But now, the great sovereign citizenry will get a chance to hear both Crowley and Supreme make their case for your votes.

In fact, you can go to thePhoenix.com/debate2012 to submit your own questions for the candidates.

The Aleister Crowley–Vermin Love Supreme presidential debate will be held at the Knights Templar Oasis at 175 Essex Street (second floor) in Salem, on Friday, October 28, at 8 pm.

Revenge of the Idiots
To my fellow Massachusetts Democrats: please don’t blame Martha Coakley for this shocking defeat.
Deval Patrick is on a second-term winning streak, and casinos might be the next payoff
Last summer, when Deval Patrick's veto killed a gaming bill in the final days of the legislative session, many thought he had badly damaged himself politically. He was, after all, the one who had pushed for casinos in Massachusetts almost from the day he entered office.
First Debate for 2012?
While the national political media was distracted this week by a non-newsworthy semi-declaration of intent from Newt Gingrich, I was chasing down a more significant development: a rapidly escalating feud between two actual declared candidates for US president.
Mitt's Charlie Card
Last week, Mitt Romney stood uncomfortably to the side as he accepted the endorsement of reality-show blowhard and occasional birther Donald Trump in Las Vegas.
Bus stopped?
The media mob will have high-tailed it out of New Hampshire by the time you read this.
Democrats are gleeful over Mitt Romney’s bruising primary path, but Romney is still the fight Barack Obama doesn’t want
Back in mid January, when the presidential primary season began and interest in the Republican candidates spread beyond the tight community of political junkies, Mitt Romney's previously untarnished reputation with the general public took a nasty turn.
Education for the future
One of the few developments worth applauding on the sorry American political scene is the renewed focus on education.
Romney has capitulated utterly to the gun fetishists — as the body count keeps rising
Mitt Romney, in what his own staff called the first major speech of the general election, received a standing ovation last week at the National Rifle Association (NRA) annual convention in St. Louis.
Mitt bulks up
If there's one thing the Mitt Romney team excels at, it's manipulating campaign-finance rules.
From the Office of Political Metaphor
Overheard in the figurative trenches.
Prescription Pothole
It seems strange to say that politicians lack the courage to pass a bill that's favored by the vast majority of their constituents. But that's where Massachusetts stands on its long, strange trip to legalize distribution of medically prescribed marijuana.

People will surely debate for years to come whether President Barack Obama's self-described "evolution" on universal, legal, same-sex marriage caused, or simply reflected, a turning point on the issue in the United States.

Saturday was an embarrassment of epic proportions for Mitt Romney and the Massachusetts Republican Party — an organization that, as I've chronicled in recent months, is essentially an extension of the Romney machine.
