I couldn't in good conscience vote for a Libertarian. While I see they've begun to accept that some government regulation is needed, lack of regulation and lack of proper enforcement of existing regulations are what got us into this stupid financial meltdown in the first place.

Now if I was to vote for any 3rd party this election, it would be The Green Party.


In the end though, the vast majority of the American population is tied into a two-party system. 99.99% of the advertisements are for either a Republican or a Democrat, and that's what people look at. With the Citizens United ruling, it's even worse now. Because the general population is only informed of Republicans & Democrats, and because we have a winner-take-all system, a third party is never going to do anything more than cause a minor stir in the electorate.

Without a massive overhaul of the electorate system, or the complete abolishment of political parties, there will never be a "third party" president.
