W00t! I love third parties!
But Ron Paul isn't running...

myra · 13th Sep 2008, 04:57 PM

Nope. Cuz he's not third party. He's republican and didn't make the nomination. Dang it. I probably would of voted him. He was asked to be the running mate to one of these guys but declined.

Really, I don't understand why have third parties. There is exactly zero chance of any of them winning the presidency. Do the indecisive voters just need something to do? I don't get it.

Bob Barr believes in cutting the educational system of the United States and having kids be home schooled......wtf @_@

I think third party candidates are a good option but in this day and age there isn't a chance of them winning the presidency. The two main parties dominate America and I picture it staying that way for a while longer. Although some (not all) third party candidates have good ideas for this country.

George Washington's prediction of doom has come true......
We are ruled by 2 major political parties. *sigh*
If only more people voted for other parties.

I need to make a correction. These candidates are only on Ohio's ballot and several other states. Check in your state to see who you third party candidates are. You can go to the county Board of Elections and they can give you the whole list.

Bob Barr is an absolute embarrassment to the Libertarian party.

And Wander, the real point of them running is to get their ideas out there. Maybe two molds isn't enough.
