The problem isn't just that the third parties don't get coverage from the media or that the electoral system heavily favors the primary incumbent and entrenched parties. While those things are true and real problems, the fact is that even I, someone who considers himself pretty radical in many of my positions, can't take the third party candidates seriously because they don't seem to take themselves seriously. They don't organize a good platform, and usually their politics are either revisions of the current party platforms with a slight change of focus or a rant straight out of the loony bin. I've said it before and I'll say it again. If I thought any of the third party candidates would do more good for this country than Barrack Obama I'd vote for them. I can say I was sincerely disappointed to discover that just isn't the case. Don't get me wrong. I don't consider voting for Obama choosing between the "lesser of two evils" like some do. I think he's the first presidential candidate that may do some real good for this country in a while. However, in terms of actually agreeing with my own personal politics and hopes for the future of this country someone could do a lot better, but the current list of third parties simply don't fill that void for me and a lot of other people.Voting for third parties simply because they are third parties is as bad as voting for a democrat or republican just because they are a democrat or republican. Just make an educated choice. There are far better and more effective ways of making a political statement than by voting for someone who don't really agree with in a voting booth. In fact, that's one of the LEAST effective ways to make your point or be heard.

You do have to be careful around digg. She will coo for you if give her what she wants, but cross her and she will slap you across the face with her velvet glove.

All you anti-cannibis nutjobs listen up. I'm tired of you. If you want to sound credible in a future argument I suggest you start suggesting they make alcohol and tobacco illigal as well. You cannot say ANYTHING against cannibis that cannot be said against alcohol or tobacco. There's no logical way to say "I like my beer and smokes but weed is different". None.

@itopizarro Instead of acting educated you could have just dis proven my point (which even at that my post was more of a rough joke with no real detail so you could have at least called that out,) but you can't so you use on grammatical error to call me stupid like Sarah Palin. Right out of the dem handbook huh, just so ya know even Stephen King needs someone to check the grammatical correctness oh his books before they're published.

The nation's top intelligence officials planned to give him top-secret daily briefings starting Thursday, sharing with him the most critical overnight intelligence as well as other information he has not been allowed to see as a senator or candidate. And Obama planned to give the first of his daily briefings to the media on Thursday as he moves quickly to begin assembling a White House staff and selecting Cabinet nominees--------------------------------------edwinanova scotia drug rehab
