1. The third party candidates are hurting the country, as usual.

Why aren't they more active during non-election years if they feel so strongly about their issues?
Why don't they get out and do all the hard work of forming legitimate party, recruiting voters, challenging law-makers instead of just acting as spoilers during a Presidential Election?

5. Ross Perot had 40% at one point. Only got 18% of the vote. (nt)
