Get your stories straight, people: I thought the Bushies and the Supreme Court "stole" the election from Al Gore! Now it's Ralph Nader? Make up your mind!!

Democrats don’t want another election stolen from them by an allegedly well-meaning idealist wanting to reform the system.

What a load of poop. The reality is that they don't think a Clinton can win the White House in a two way race. The previous Clinton couldn't.

Sam does ads for “The Nation”. He’s a commie. probably thinks the RATS aren’t commie enough.

I’m glad I gave up watching the liberal spew from “Law and Order” nine years ago.

Unfortunately, a third party candidate just takes away from the party he/she is most closely aligned with — in the case of Perot, it took away 15-19 percent of Republicans, and gave the election to Clinton, who won with 43 or less percent.

I’m sure he realizes HE gave the election to Clinton.

If McCain peels off as an independent, it will be toast for the Republican candidate.

Never could figure out the hair part thing. On Law and Order, his hair is parted on the left, in his TV commercials for a certain brokerage house; his hair is parted on the right! Is he left or right?

Waterston was in town to promote Unity ’08, an Internet scheme to launch a third-party ticket, made up of a Republican and a Democrat

Great idea! Assuming Hillary runs, I think Obama should run on a third party ticket. Of course, we need to balance him with a Republican, I'd suggest Lincoln Chaffee, or Olympia Snowe, or Arlen Specter, or even Michael Bloomberg.

“The reality is that they don’t think a Clinton can win the White House in a two way race. The previous Clinton couldn’t.”

Interesting.

I found this outfit has ties to the lobby/law firm “Steptoe & Johnson”

Ever heard of them?

From imdb.com:

Waterston voices the TV ad for left wing magazine "The Nation," including the line "The Nation gives you that liberal media slant you can't get anywhere else."

The last five words of that proves he's as clueless as a box of rocks. Or lying.

Would someone tell me what a moderate is?

It's someone who wants their hands held by the establishment. They believe in MSM-fabricated issues such as "big money" in politics, "the rich," and "this country is on the wrong track" baloney.

It's all designed to move those goalposts further and further to the left, that's all this is, nothing more. Just talk about "hot button" issues and gloss over the real issues, complete with polls. This Unity 08 is a pure crock of crap and conservatives shouldn't take it seriously.

Third parties never work anyway. If they have a great message, one of the other two parties will say “we’ll do that too” and adopts the popular message and that’s the end of the third party.

I may be wrong(it's happened before) but I don't think McCain will do that. He had his chance to run as Kerry's V.P. and turned it down. He knows he wouldn't have a chance of winning on a third party ticket and I really doubt that he's interested in being a spoiler.

Perot wanted the attention and he sure got it, giving us 8 years of the Clintons.

Perot wanted lots of government contracts which I am sure he got after Bubba was inaugurated.

Asked if he might run, he said no, but thinks his costar Fred Thompson will get into the race

Interesting.

I’d like to see the Gore run as a Green.
