I agree strongly that we need to move away from the two party system a bit and I don't mean one party!

Dude you need to look at the mess in Canada right now. A 3 party system is not the way to go, it causes nothing but chaos and uncertainty.
The leading party in Canada is in power right now with only 22% of the vote because all of the other parties are to split up to overtake them.
The meaning of a Democracy is that MAJORITY rules, 22% is by far the furthest thing you can get from a majority, but they rule anyway. That means 78% of the voters want the leading party out of office. WOW That is really some great Democracy!
And the whole idea of "sending them a message" is naive as hell. The Republicans believe what they believe, and Democrats believe what they believe and there is nothing your going to do to change that. Just because 1% of the country votes for some guy nobody has ever even heard of is not going to send any type of message at all.
Did people voting for Perot send a message in 92? NO IT DIDN'T AND HE GOT A HUGE PERCENT!!!!
The only message your sending is one of irresponsibility, you believe Bush is a murder and a thief and bad for this country, so you vote in protest when you could vote to get rid of him. And if you truely believe what you stand for you would do the right thing and GET RID OF BUSH.
