I would like to see some of the "fringe" parties work at building a base at local, and then state levels - I think that might be more effective both at "educating the masses" and building a base than running at national levels is at this point in time.

Now we have "come together", big time. Thanks for conversing with me in a civil manner. Others on this thread are quite vemonous.

...even the Founders themselves disagreed on what the founding documents meant...

Quite true. I tend to harbor the idea that I agree with the smarter ones. ;-D

Thank you for your own civility to me. One thing you've got to remember: after the Clinton years, the idea of what voting for a third party candidate could result in is horrifying to a lot of people on this board - even if they might agree with many or most of the third party candidate's ideas.

Now, come on! They were ALL brilliant, or they wouldn't have been the Founding Fathers! But I'll bite - which would you consider "the smarter ones"?
