I am so tired of these stupid 3rd parties. Waste of time. The only time a 3rd party will be viable is when the liberal wing of the Republican party takes over and we put up pro-choice candidates for president the Christian right then has a reason to walk in huge enough numbers(which many already did from the dem party).... You then can kiss this country down the toilet because the dems will have control for years to come with the conservatives split.

Most people realize that this country is a 2 party system and are very dubious of these 3rd parties that seem full of loons to begin with. They are not even a viable option to the mainstream.

I disagree. I think we've already got the conditions for a third party, and it will be started by Democrats who are tired of the hypocrisy and extremism of their "leadership."

The "third party" will form in the middle: it will start from moderate-to-conservative Democrats, and will draw in the moderate and liberal Republicans.

The conservative Republicans will keep the name; the remaining far-left Democrats will team up with the Greens; and the new party will inhabit the middle (and probably dominate).
