"You just can't admit the truth and would rather blame third-party boogeymen for the incompetence of your own party."
Actually, the parties (Rep and Dem) incompetence have made the 3rd party candidate in the last three presedential elections important. A strong 3rd party in the future will have both the dems and republicans kissing some serious butt.
Let me amend that.
It won't even have to be the third party, just a strong third party candidate.
Sorta like Ross Perot was.
