That's a one sided way of looking at it. Who did Perot hurt? Bill and George both, though George more.

It's fixed for Hillary or *insert potential GOP frontrunner who isn't a complete embarrassment or Ron Paul here*. This is part of why I am supporting Kucinich so much, and possibly now Obama.

I'm not voting Republican, so I'm not giving them anything. What I am doing is making a statement about BOTH parties. The two party system is an invisible prison. I keep bumping my head while I try to move around freely, so it's time to say something. I've never actually been a potential Dem vote, anyway. A vast majority of Democratic representatives and officials are cowards of the worst kind. My vote is earned. Potential votes are only theoretical.
This is political reality, not political theory.
