    Ron is friends with Dennis Kucinich as I'm certain you know. That video is a small sampling of democratic voters.

If we're ever going to get anywhere, we have to move beyond the right-left paradigm - it's how they are able to distract us - by dividing us. We get liberty-minded individuals into office as Dems, as well as Republicans, then we may actually change the hearts and minds of a nation.

    Carry on...
    That's going a little too far. In most cases both party's main candidates have enough money to compete for the Senate, so it isn't 'bought' when it comes down to the general. The primary can be bought though, and most people don't have the kind of money needed to run.

    but usually both funded candidates are funded because they will get goodies at taxpayer expense for different special interests, so it is still bought, just on both sides.

    The point is, there are races that are winnable and races that aren't. Every cycle, good money is thrown at candidate's who couldn't win their race under any circumstances. John Dennis, Peter Schiff, Art Robinson, and Kurt Bills come to mind. This Kentucky Senate Race looks like a loser. McConnell has the entire establishment behind him. He will have over $10 million if he wants it, probably more. He can call for help at any moment. He is also known as one of the greatest politicos in the history of the state. There are winnable races out there where money would matter more.

    Everyone can do what they want with their own money, but I caution that this may not be the best use of that money.

    I've love to see people start doing that somewhere besides New Hampshire. Are people outside of NH just lazy? Do they not know how to organize? What's the problem?

    The Democrat Party is a waste of time.

    Anyone who is slightly to the right is now beaten down hard by progressives and spendaholics.

    The Blue Dogs are practically extinct.

    It is an Obama, uber liberal party now.

    The good news is that because they're overrun with progressives they won't get the House for a long time.

    Then why is the strategy of running liberty Democrats starting to work in NH? Why are Democrats getting elected in town after town in local elections and also as state reps? In fact, 6 of the stat rep. races won by FSPers in NH were FSPers running as Democrats. Perhaps where you live Democrats are different. Where I live, even the Democrats work hard to prevent a state income or state sales tax.

    I think you are WAY too over generalizing and collectivizing. I'm not sure why you are doing it but it's distasteful at best.

    Left-right paradigm. This is divisive and distracting and nothing will ever change as long as parties are pitted against each other. Infiltration of both parties could change the entire game. Infiltration.
