My question is why

the media only covers the two party candidates? They really have the power to get out other candidates, what they stand for, and their information to give us another choice. The only reason I knew about Bob Barr was because I saw him on Glenn Beck one night. The way things are set up....it is like we are shooting ourselves in the foot here. I really do believe that a lot of people feel that they are picking the lesser of two evils here and we shouldn't have to feel that way.
