I started thinking about 3rd parties today. I will probably never vote for one, even if Giuliani gets elected (though I will find it hard to vote for him, being a Liberal and all), but I was thinking. What if the Democrats and Republicans just gave up, and gave us horrible candidates? I mean, in the last two elections we had to elect Bush (and no, he isn’t my favorite President) because the Democrat’s nomination was practically a joke.
And this year isn’t much better. The Democrats have all KINDS of good politicians, but they insist on touting Clinton and Obama as their top candidates. The Republicans insist on touting Guiliani, which means they would obviously rather get elected than actually nominate a candidate with real Republican values.
So, if you had to vote for a 3rd party system, which would you vote for? Forget actual candidates; just base it on the actual views of the party.
I would probably vote for the Reform party or the Constitution party. The reform party has a pretty good system of ideals:

And the Constitution party seems to me to be just straight-up, old-school Americans, who actually remember what morals are, and remember a time when you could let your kids out to play without worrying about them getting kidnapped:

This is the one I would vote for, if I had to.
