What does everyone think of the free state project? Start with one small state that would be easier to influence. Move enough liberty- supporting people there to have an effect.

Why isn't Kasich, governor of Ohio, running?

I'm convinced that as few republican governors like him, by being so un-Obama like, actually won the last election for Obama. No republican has ever won without winning Ohio and yet Ohio, because of Kasich's policies, was doing better than most states in 2012. Because of that they voted for the incumbent president.

All rifle bullets (except maybe .22LR) penetrate the type of body armor typically worn by police. So I guess you'd be fine with the ATF outlawing all rifle ammo?

Words to live by.

Yeah Beck lost many years ago before that the republican parts in eyes. Both have few good points. Here Beck is right

Most police aren't jerks.

Funny though, he claims the Republicans are trashing the candidates who support the Constitution, as a justification for his decision. I'm OK with that. All politicians today seem dedicated to trashing the Constitution. My issue is that those that support the Constitution, seem just as bent on telling me what to do as those trashing it:

I have yet to find a Political party that will just take the Constitution as the best guideline to come along, and stick with it. Period. Don't tell me about abortion, gay marriage, religion, Allah, foods to eat, fat to have, what to drink or how many cow pies I can leave in my pasture. Hold me accountable for the harm I do to others. Hold others accountable for the harm they do to me. Let me pay a small amount to support common things needed (police, fire, etc), don't make me pay for someone else, your special interests, funding companies doomed to fail, or overseas children starving. LMTFA. That's my party. Haven't seen it yet, so I guess I am just a rogue element. I think Ben_C came pretty close to nailing it.

Lucky you. I went Rogue Independent 14 years ago and the dumb asses still call and mail me. I gave 100.00 to a Republican candidate for County Commissioner here, not because he was a Republican, but because he seemed semi honest and was running against a purely crooked other Republican. He won the election by 112 votes, but lost to the incumbent by 12 votes after a recount showed "errors". Again, the sheep voted for the Republican they had, to make sure a Democrat didn't get in, but never bothered to look into the quality or details of what they were voting for. Pushbutton elections. And even if you win, you are going to lose to the incumbent. More reason to go back to voting in person, mail is so easy to manipulate.

Beck should retire, I have sent him several emails on his Russia series because he still goes by his own visions. Facts be damned. Beck thinks he is a prophet!

I, too, have given up on Republicans. In the 2008 Republican primary, I rated McCain 10th out of 10, and Romney 9th. Those were the next two nominees. Enough said.

I wish Hannity would say that.
Those RINOpubs need good kicks in the butt.

Republicans have become Democrat-light. The "good old boy" network is completely spineless. Fund raising mail to me goes straight to the shredder and email straight to the trash. I just can't support them anymore!

we gave them $$ when Sarah was running, and
they have been after us ever since. . argh. -- j

Rove checked and found no Beck $$ in the donor
list over the past few years, so his leaving is sustained
since awhile ago. . good. -- j

The Democrats and Republicans will work even closer on keeping out third parties. They can keep them out of debates and work together on digging dirt. Be very hard to get one started these days.

Better he hadn't gone at all.

Better he had given the teddy bears to the police.

I'd be with you, especially if Enron was still around. Their history, much to the disadvantage of my retirement, was to donate equal amounts to both the D's and R's.

A third party is at a disadvantage because both the Republicans and the Democrats will jump on the candidate.

Call, write, email, attend public gatherings and then maybe donate.

I'm afraid I agree with you because of his stands on immigration and core education. I recognize that he was a good Florida governor but those two things would make it very difficult for me to vote for him. Maybe if he was running against Hillary. Make that for sure if he was running against Hillary.

Is that similar to going to Rev. White's church then saying I don't listen but I did make him my children's God Parent?

I've repeatedly told fund raisers that I donate to individuals, not parties. I want to be sure my small donations go to support a person I agree with not a party that supports a person I don't agree with.

I've noticed that the NRA has made a few comments about Obama trying to outlaw certain bullets. I'm not real upset about armor penetrating bullets, but the .223 worries me. Doesn't this attempt by him violate the 2nd where it clearly says "not infringe"?

But you are undermining liberty.
You advocate for support of
anti-liberty politicians and parties
You advocate for incremental
increases of liberty. That's like
saying I'm freer than you because
my leg chain is 6" longer than
yours. You either want liberty or
you just want your 6". I suspect,
given liberty, you wouldn't like it.
