The whole third party cause is a complete waste of time and effort. They are all much too extreme and unrealistic to be taken seriously, and that is why they are not allowed in the debates. Their presence would only serve to cloud the issues. Badnarik broke the law and got in trouble for it, big deal. He did it in the name of a ridiculous cause to boot. I do agree that perhaps jail is a bit too harsh of a sentence, but I really feel no sympathy for this man.
If the third parties want to be taken seriously they will have to get back down to earth, listen to the majority of experts on issues and learn to compromise just like the big boys. Until then they will only be fringe groups followed by immature minds, and extremists who for some odd reason think everyone in the establishment is an idiot who is just too blind to see the "Truth" (tm) about what is "really going on" in the world.
