Actually I think it was a good question. Not because I think Ron Paul should necessarily run as a 3rd party but to see their response.
Are these third party candidates so used to losing that they would rather continue this charade of getting 1-5% of the vote every 4 years while making absolutely NO progress whatsoever and changing ANYTHING? I listen to all three of them agree with about 90% of what each other says yet STILL profess that "they" are the best candidate.
It is already hard enough to fight the two major political powers when they control the debate commission but that question right there showed me exactly why they will NEVER challenge the major two parties. These third parties have their own egos and agendas just like the Republicans and Democrats. They seem generally content with losing and have really NO interest in any real change. They'd rather just sit up there and give the dog & pony show in their 15 minutes in the spotlight while spouting the "message" to people that probably already know it (and in some cases know more than they do).
It isn't unlike the various types of personalities in these forums. We all strive for Liberty. We all want Freedom. But it seems that everyone has a different theory about how to achieve it and rather than uniting around that which we share in common, we constantly fight about the things we disagree with.
That question told me exactly what I needed to know.
maybe i wont even bother to vote at all.
