Will Third Parties Ruin Victory?
Yes.

Will they ruin victory for the Dems, GOP, or both? It seems that in every election there are left-wing parties taking as many votes away from the Democrats as conservative/libertarian parties are taking away from the Republicans. Wouldn't it then balance out? For example, in the last presidential election, Ralph Nader received more votes (2,882,955) than Harry Browne, Pat Buchanan and Howard Phillips combined (931,346).

What was the excuse for the ruination of this Republic before the Third Parties made the National scene?

Will the two entrenched National Parties Run to Victory? Absolutely YES.

Will the two entrenched National Parties depend soley on their "bots" for support? Another absolute.

Sooner or later you people are gonna have to get your heads out of your collective asses, and help us rebuild this once Great Republic. That ain't gonna happen with Dems/Repubs. How many more decades of history do we need to observe? Blackbird.

Want some third party votes?

They're yours for the taking. But you have to earn 'em.

Run consitutional candidates like Ron Paul, and I'll abandon my third party candidates in a heartbeat.

If not, and you let the R's power brokers dictate the results of primaries, and continue to run police state candidates, then you'll never get my vote.

It's just that easy.

Since, as the article correctly notes, Republicans "stray from their small-government promises" on a daily, if not hourly basis, what's to ruin? Neither "maistream" party honors the Constitution any more, so what does it matter whether they're your thieves or the other guy's thieves? Now if they were all Pubbies from the RLC or of the same stripe as Dr. Paul, that'd be fine. However, they are not... you have MOST of them as closet versions of John McLame or Jumpin' Jim Jeffords... so what's to choose between them and the Rats? Not so much, methinks...

Will Third Parties Ruin Victory?

Ruin whose victory? The victory of Republican socialists. Bring it on!! Though I am very disappointed to hear of the LP's attempts to assasinate Bob Barr over the drug issue. Bob Barr is one of the best friends of liberty in the House.

maybe you should vote for ISSUES and not parties. unless you are pro statist, there is no difference btwn the two parties, except WHICH rights to take from you. BOTH agree, the state has the authority to take your rights. now, whine about how the repubs and bush further liberal agenda, and, like the minorities, vote again for those who slit your throat while you complain they are doing it.
