Really? All enough third party votes do is hand a win to the other team. Remember Perot?

Maybe, but the team who lost to Perot, or any other third party candidate, would have to change their platform to be more in line with that third party candidat to have a shot. No?

They will realize the will of their voter-base, and have to gravitate toward that will. It make take some time, but do you really want another two years of voting "the lessor of two evils"?

A vote for a third party is not a wasted vote. It's a friggin message. And they either get the message, or continue to lose. It won't be easy, you'll have to endure a few adminsitrations of the opposition (which aren't that different, BTW).

But rarely are things worth doing .... easy.

A vote for one of the two major parties, IS a vote wasted, and further erodes the country. It's also intellectually lazy. You get the government you deserve.

True. Unless we can get someone like Tancredo on the Repub ticket. He is interested an active in Border Control issues.

Four years of Kerry because I wanted to send a message is not something I am willing to risk or pallette. Bush is far from perfect, but beats the hell out of anything the Democrats have been putting up.
