You know, I think this next election might be the first time in history that an independent could win. If the right person came on the scene and could get very well known, it might happen. I think this because, we are at this point, scrapping the bottom of the barrel with whats out there. All about who can raise the most money and I have to believe a good share of people are sick of it..
I believe if one man or woman would stand up and say, " we are not letting the illegals break our country, big corporations are no longer going to get away with lining politicians pockets.....no amnesty, no welfare , no free medical, the tax payers are not going to carry the burden anymore.
This person would get voted in, hands down.
We need a Bill O'Reilly, someone with the backbone to tell it like it is.

That candidate in particuar isn't the type of person I would vote for (for political reasons, not because I'm worried about "throwing my vote away"), but I am "bold enough" to vote for third party and independent candidates. In fact, basically all candidates that I feel are worth voting for are either third party or independent candidates.

Depends on the election - in a smaller election, yes
in the Presidential election, no.
A vote for Independent is definitely a throw-away vote in a big election because the majority of votes will be for one of the two parties.

Probably not. I do not need to read your link.
An independent cannot win and only splinters the vote. This time I want the Democrats to win. No more replays of 2000 and 2004. I really do not want to stay in the US if we have another 4 years of Republicans.

NO WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It would be a vote against my party's candidate. The reason Clinton won in '92 was that so many conservatives voted for Perot. Clinton knew this, and said publicly when Perot almost dropped out, "Can't do! Perot's my man!!" Take it from a pro (Clinton, not me), it's a bad idea, bold and principled, or not.

This isn't about guts. Voting for a candidate with no chance to win is throwing away your vote. The person who would be your second choice would lose a vote for every vote people like you would cast for his long shot opponent.

Of course. This man in particular, probably not. He has some good stances on issues but disagree about others.
That, and he's another spoiler from Oklahoma! j/k : )

Unfortunately, in our current system it would be a wasted vote

Maybe in 2012, by then the republican party will be almost entirely decimated.
