3rd party candidates are tools of the enemy.

Then why don't we field some? Some "Occuoation" party candidates. One reason is the 'rats have absolte control and displine from a political side. You wander off the reservation, and it's a firestorm. The fringes of the conservative side though, have a "my way or the highway" attitude. If the Paulistas want respect, then they can start winning elections. I am sick of their big mouths and 5% of the vote. I wish most of them would just join the Democrats and do their havoc there.
Anyone who disagrees with you should just remember all the damage Ross Perot did in 1992. If it were not for him, Bill Clinton would have lost, and today Hillary would be just another crooked two-bit Arkansas lawyer.
The solution is simple. If no candidate for a major office gets a majority of the vote, have a run off.
