Originally Posted By nemopoppins I think in order for a third party to offer a candidate as a viable choice, they must get qualified candidates into lower level or local positions. Build up a track record. Don't expect (or ask) people to waste their votes on unrealistic aspirations. Remember 2000, all of you who are planning on wasting your votes this year.

Nah, the 3r parties dont interested me and until someone give them a real flush of cash and real contenders, no one is going to take them seriously. Ross Perot is the only one that got a huge chunk of the vote and that was because he eccentric and had more money than god ;D.

What should Bush do on his last day in office? "Surrender." Will Obama be able to provide tax cuts to 95 percent of the population? "Impossible." What is your opinion of the media? "Servile." While he predicted a "landslide," for Obama, he reserved his harshest words for the Democrat. Nader said in various ways Obama would disappoint supporters and not do much to change the power structure and status quo in Washington. Asked why the Obama years might not mimic the sweeping changes that marked the FDR presidency, Nader said, "Cowardliness." Asked to elaborate, Nader said, “corporations.” He also called the money raised by Obama to support his campaign, "disgusting." Nader, finally, when asked if he would run again, he offered only this reply: "Maybe."
