So in the final analysis on November 6, what will he have accomplished? I doubt that anyone who votes for him would have voted for Obama had he not been running.
We get it. You're committed to the status quo. Time for you to move on. We know change is hard and you're not ready yet. Come back when you are.
Sorry, not committed to status quo. Maybe I've been around too long and have seen too much ..IMO the country is not ready for a VIABLE third party. We need to work with what we got how we can in the ongoing battle against socialism. Just hope we don't see a scenario like when Perot gave us 8 years of Clinton.
If you believe the Perot stole votes from Republicans, then the only logical thought about the 1996 results is that the Republican Party lost 1996 by putting Bob Dole on the ticket and effectively convincing 9+million of their supposed voters to not show up to the polls.

Harry Browne got .5% of the vote in 1996, .4% in 2000, Badnarik got a whopping .3% in 2004, and then Barr with .4% in 2008.
And have our mainstream candidates gotten any better? Nope. have the mainstream parties made any real changes toward limited gov't? nope. Quite the opposite.

They're fighting over the 20% of "independents" in the middle. They could give 2 poops about .5% of so-called "fringe" voters think.
^^^^^^True story.
When Perot got more than 50% of the number of votes that Bush got in 1992, the party showed that they gave no ****s by nominating Bob Dole in 1996 and inviting people who were giving up on Perot to simply stay home.
