But what good would a third-party do, except put someone we completely oppose in office? The folks who bolted to Perot helped put Bill Clinton in office. Teddy Roosevelt's bolt in 1912 gave the country Woodrow Wilson.

Sorry, but those who think a third party can magically make things all better need a political reality check. I can't help it if they cannot take it.

I'm not saying a 3rd party can magically make it go away. But doing nothing but more of the same voting for the lesser of evils is NOT making it go away either! Meanwhile we are not gaining any ground for certain 3rd parties that hold concervative values. If we continue at the pace we are on, we will be left with one party. The socialist party under the name of democrat.

There are worse things than having a Democrat in the White House - like watching the Republican Party morph into a lame version of the Democratic Party!

Punishing Republicrats in `04 makes sense if they get the message that they have stabbed their core constituency - "non-rich" whites - in the back, and they won't win another election until they apologize.
