how would a "no-bullsh**t" third party ticket do

it would involve someone like Adam Carolla or Bill Maher on the ticket. Brutally honest and says things exactly how they feel and is against cherry picking and always uses facts to back up what they believe. Incorporates rhetoric from both right and left but is pretty anti-hyperbole. Sort of a "what you get is what you see" kind of ticket.

I love Bill Maher, but he's almost as left as you can get though. It's almost like even Elizabeth Warren seems like a sweet, innocent girl next to him.

What about Jon Stewart? He is at least much more centrist than Bill Maher.

He's viciously anti-Occupy.

Is he? At the same time I don't think he's supporting the 1% either. Being anti-Occupy and not supporting the 1% is a bit like being anti-feminist and still support Hillary for president. Maybe you don't necesarily support the behaviour of the Occupy Wall Street guys, but supporting their policy proposals is a no-brainer. The vast majority of Americans want to see the 1% richest Americans pay more in taxes, as the exit polls clearly showed on election night. The American voice on this is almost as unanimous as it is in favor of background checks for gun sales.

He would have to be to be considered "no bullsh**t".

The only time I think I've personally heard Maher say something that wasn't particularily left wing or populist was when he defended Israel against Palestinian attacks. Then he sounded just like a Republican. Yet that's the only incident that comes to my mind right now. In any case it isn't particularily shocking for a Democrat to be rather hawkish and conservative on foreign policy. Even Kirsten Gillibrand is very conservative when it comes to policy related to Israel.
