The old Democratic and Republican bottles cannot hold the new wine of social justice, and if we attempt to poor it in, the bottles will break and the wine will run away. It is now time for the rise of the third parties! No longer shall people choose the lesser of two evils, the Republicrats or the Democricans. Vote Green 2008, Vote Libertarian 2008, Vote Social Democrat 2008, Go Third Party.

Sorry, but its a two party system. The deck is heavily stacked against any third party.

That's why McGyver would win. Anyone who can triangulate the location of an enemy missile base using two straws, a coathanger, an old radio, three paperclips and a watch could surely manage something so trivial as winning an election.

No chance. He can build bombs from household chemicals, he'll quickly disappear as a terrorist.

Captured by the "gub'mint" and put into Abu Gravedigger.

Still, I think that he could use something to free himself, escape Abu Ghraib and "go after the bad guys".

Ya. I'll vote MacGyver, but only because he's the lesser of three evils.

MacGuyver, he's get his policy generating device built from two batteries, an iPod and some shareware in no time.

MacGyver would take a pencil eraser, a toothbrush, and some string and use them to solve all the problems in the world.

I'm still in favour of a FOURTH party.
Why vote for the lesser of two evils? :)

I think that is a good idea in theory. Unfortunately, 80% of America isn't even aware those parties exist. Let them debate with the big rich white guys! Make it a fair election!

Dude, Richard Dean Anderson is the man. I vote less for McGyver than Jack O'Neill, but it's close enough.
