It was kind of a joke, yes. I thought at the very least somebody should stand up and do something. I have always voted independent, and I voted for Ross Perot. I knew at that point that I could run with my own party, which was then called the Booty Party, but it wouldn't have gone anywhere because I didn't have any resources at my disposal. So I decided to go for it.
Most people think of voting for a third party as throwing away their vote.
I think that is true in some ways. They think that third-party candidates don't have a chance in hell of winning. But I believe that voting for politicians, career politicians, people who are part of a corrupt system, like the Democratic Party seems to be in San Francisco, is throwing away a vote. That is just like saying, we accept mediocrity. We accept corruption and we accept things working out for a very small demographic.
