Unfortunately, you're not really exaggerating. The other alternative parties are equally unappealing. The Constitution Party has an agenda that would make Pat Buchanan blanch. Reform is a disjointed, fragmented mess ever since Buchanan was their nominee. And the rest are generally not worth mentioning, except for perhaps the Centrist Party.
