Cleets...it looks like you're with me. Neither party can produce a legitimate candidate worth voting for--unless you ask AZ. And to answer your question, no it's not too much to ask...it's just too much to expect.
Each party has it's fringe that gets pandered to...
I'm looking for either of them to drop the lunatic fringe / in fact vocally dismiss the lunatic fringe
The day I hear a Democrat vocally attack the (UAW) United Auto Workers union for the sham that it is and a Republican tell me "The Bible" should have nothing to do with political agenda's I'll fall over dead

Well it wasn't the bible, but I just watched Joe Scarborough GO OFF on the Republican Fringe that wants to force a government shut-down. Evidently they're accusing people like Charles Krauthammer, Tom Coburn, and Mitt Romney of being RINO's for cautioning against this. Old Joe was practically screaming at the camera, accusing the FRINGE of being RINO's, of sabotaging the party's chances to win national elections, repeatedly calling them dumb and stupid with Mika twisting her lips, glaring, and shaking her head in embarrassment the whole time.
Should be a youtube clip of it up sometime soon. Infotainment at it's very best.
But back to the topic at hand...
Some great ideas and sometimes movements are born out of what's considered at that time, the "fringe". All the handwringing over why both parties suck should still be blamed on the system and how campaigns are financed.
