Yeah, Gore would have allowed the attacks on Sept 11th? But, I'm willing to bet that he wouldn't have sat motionless for 7 minutes after being informed teh country was under attack. I also find the excuse that "I'm disappointed in Bush, but couldn't make a better choice" absurd. The very people who laugh at a third, forth or even fifth party idea, are the very same people who laugh at the notion and dismiss their candidates so easily.
I haven't heard what Gore did when he heard the news, but I did hear that Kerry sat there looking dumb at some other senators who were doing the same for upwards of 30 min. That Micheal Moore movie has already been proven to be nothing more than Anti-Bush propaganda, Lies and misrepresentations. I'm wondering what Roosevelt did when he heard about Pearl Harbor or what Lincoln did when he heard about Fort Sumter. Reflection and calm isn't a bad thing. If he were as bad as the Liberal Left make him out to be he would have bombed bagdad right then.

"Both parties" is the problem. "Both" implies a limitation on options. When "both parties" are controlled by the same special intrest minorities, then there will never be a true democracy. Which would imply something if we lived in a democracy. But we don't. We live in a republic. A republic which is just as easily subverted as the Roman repbulic.
Hey, If I were old enough I probably would have voted for Perot. I haven't seen any really viable 3rd party candidates since then though. I kind of wish someone would step forward.
