Let me ask you this: What do you think it will take for a 3rd party to become widely recognized? Do you think it will happen eventually?

Being that all the media in this country is controlled through only SIX corporations, those parties never get any coverage whatsoever. Would it take a law on the part of the dem/repub. parties to regulate media or..

I guess what I'm trying to ask is, how are they going about trying to gain influence in our current political system? They have a lot of great ideas, but it just seems like no one is paying enough attention. Everyone is so caught up in the dem/rep parties.

If I believed that Nader had a chance of winning, I'd vote for him, but I'm really having a hard time trying to convince myself that it's not a wasted vote. Maybe one day I'll think differently, but for now... hard to do.
