[quote="Old Reliable":a6007]my party won't become the majority. however, the more support they receive the more legit their stand on the issues become. a party that doesn't receive any votes has no legitimate plans since they are just ideas without followers. democracy is not choosing between just 2 parties. they don't always offer the best. i dont like either kerry or bush so i'm voting for what i think would be the best choice for receiving my support.[/quote:a6007]

Understandable, but most "third parties" seem like nothing more than policy specific pacs more than actually "parties" - since their platforms are so finely tuned to a certain aspect of government that compromising on other platforms invalidates much of what theyd like to do. The green party - in my estimation and opinion - is one such example of this. Parties need to offer a total package, not just form a party on a single ideal and hope thats enough to resonate with the people.
