This doesn't actually have much to do with Bloomburg, or the ubiquitous, stupid question that is repeatedly asked about Barack Obama ('is he "black" enough?'). The question is this: which third-party or independent candidate would you support in the upcoming (by which I mean, "one year away") election? The candidate should not be a Democrat and not a Republican, and they should have a chance of getting more than ten votes (Ralph Nader-size or bigger).

If you are not American...I don't know. Complain about how this thread is Americocentric, I guess, that's what people usually do. Or just say which independent candidate you would support in your country.

I think he's too Jewish.

After careful observation, I have come to the conclusion that every single third party candidate is a fucking nutjob.

There's no way in hell I'd vote for Bloomberg, regardless of what political party he's affiliated with.

George Phillies.

Dennis Kucinich... come on, he's not really a Democrat and we all know it.

He's arguably the least competent politician currently alive.

I'll hear your arguments good sir.

EDIT: Oh I just remembered the Daily Show talking about how they kept focusing the cameras on his wife at the debates and thought I would post relevant information about his wife:

"Ralph Nader-size or bigger"?

Um... none, unless Nader runs again.

I won't vote for any of the third parties. They all suck and none of them represent me in the least.

Third parties are barely even known about.

"Watch me eat this invisible sandwich while my wife lobotomizes me with laser eyes."

The rest of them are "What Dennis Kucinich?"

And is anyone else expecting him to burst out into dance like the new Six Flags mascot?

I know it isn't fair, but whenever I see Kucinich, the first thing I think is, "You'll never get me pot'o'gold!"

Originally, I wrote that the candidate should be "Kucinich-size or larger" until I remembered he technically belongs to a major party. It's easy to forget.

There's a fairly good run-through of Kucinich's views here (http://www.vote-smart.org/npat.php?can_id=318). Some I actually support, and other candidates don't talk about them.

Nader, if I was USian.

Ayyup.

What's wrong with having a Jewish president?

He's arguably the least competent politician currently alive.

How is Kucinich "incompetent"? I don't understand; is it because he's "not really a Democrat", and does that mean the Democratic party is the ONLY legitimate party?

I won't vote for any of the third parties. They all suck and none of them represent me in the least.

IMNSVHO the Democrats (and nowadays even most of the Republicans) suck just as much as the third parties.

LMAO :D

He's arguably the least competent politician currently alive.

He's also arguably one of the few politicians with principle. He's got my vote in the primary.

For that matter, almost all Democrats and Republicans are also nutjobs; if they weren't before they got into politics, then getting into politics MADE them that way.
