All third party weirdos siphon votes away from both parties.
Usually the Republican Party suffers the most when a third party runs.
See H. Ross Perot as an example.
I use Perot as an example knowing that many FReepers voted for him and were happy when Bush lost and Clinton won.
(sheesh)
“when Bush lost and Clinton won”
Both “won” at Mena Airport—kaching!
Remember the part where the Founders warned about political Parties? That it’d devolve into an “us vs them” shell game?
Yeah... Pepperidge Farms remembers.
