The GOP might do just as well letting Kokesh go for it

[ronpaulhawaii]

Yes, but RP was in a Presidential race, much different that a Congressional race. Adam would do just as well traveling KY and CT and educating the people of those states.

Here you are grasping at straws. You have no clue what kind of outreach and response are going on here. You have no idea of where he would be more effective. And you have no clue of the actual demographics here. The fact remains that until we have many more candidates, it is silly to be culling the herd and pitting our candidate against one another. In fact it is detrimental to the movement as a whole. You find some more candidates with more national recognition and a "better chance" and then let the market decide. Till then you are just causing trouble...

From the guidelines:

+ If you are to be critical of another users ideas or message please do so in a respectful manner. It is possible to discuss your points as to why you feel the way you do, ideally you should include alternate suggestions or acknowledge you have none.

Finally, If you think I will be content with running only 2 federal races, you don't know me. I have no illusions that this campaign will be a cakewalk, but we have tyrants scrambling, we are converting neo-cons, and plan on making Lujan work very hard to retain his seat. That drain on the DNC resources will help other candidates as well. I hope to see 10 federal races this cycle. Until I see at least 10 decent candidates I will question anyone pitting us against ourselves

Reality has trumped idealism and Adam will be filing tax forms, this may disappoint some but Adam is running a race to win. What you are all witnessing is his transition from activist to candidate. From my understanding he has not made enough to "owe" anything...

HTH...

Good, now maybe people will shut up about the tax BS. As far as I can see that was the only legitimate complaint against him.

Lol, Matt. What does it matter if Kokesh can win a non-existent primary, if he has ZERO chance of winning in the general? Why don't you google the demographics of that district, and then tell us how Kokesh is going to have even a 1% chance of winning. This whole "campaign" is nothing but an adventure in vanity by Kokesh, at the expense of our movement overall.

And again, even if hell froze over, and somehow Kokesh had even a 5% chance of winning, Democrats would only need to make one call to the IRS to get him thrown into jail, so this whole thing his a joke.

Our efforts should be concentrated on Rand and Peter, not this clown.

Dr. Paul has encouraged everyone to run for office if memory serves. We should welcome and encourage all voices of freedom. I don't see how anyone speaking out about a liberty platform can hurt our movement, unless they divert strategic resources unwisely. There are other ways to be supportive besides money bombs.

I think HWP has the hots for Kokesh, and calling everyone gay for supporting was just him projecting. One can only assume he's lurking on here, so HWP, this is for you:

Temp till past the 2010 cycle...

It is past the 2010 cycle, why is 'He Who Pawns' still banned? Was one of the forums more entertaining posters. The recent RT firing of Kokesh, and Kokesh's subsequent comments on Benton, were poorer here for the lack of HWP's presence.
