I've heard that line many times, but I must stay true to myself, hence the votes for Buchanan and Perot. I truly believe either one would've actually done something about the southern border, but alas, we'll never know.
Look I'm more of a libertarian, but that does not mean I don't understand the downfalls of a two party system. Thats fine that you believe that they "would" have done good, as long as you understand that a third party candidate has little or no chance of winning an election in a two party system, especially a national election.

That's because I "woke up" a long time ago. Candidates such as Buchanan and Perot were discussing important issues that the two-party candidates were avoiding, mainly illegal immigration. Yes, I knew that Buchanan and Perot had absolutely no chance of being elected, but should I compromise my beliefs because of it? Thanks to Savage, I've realized how similar both parties are politically over the past several years. As a whole, neither party's interested in sealing the border and deporting the illegals, that's for sure.
