Far too often I see discussion fights over whether or not the liberty movement should focus on third parties or work within the GOP. Personally I feel such a debate is misguided and too toxic in terms of division amongst the ranks. A better discussion, in my view, should surround the concept of refusing to vote for incumbents period. ESPECIALLY any incumbent who voted for Boehners betrayal bill (Cronybus) and/or Boehners confirmation as speaker of the house. The third party shouts often ignore the fact that good people who would defend the constitution do run in GOP primaries but dont win because so many voters often make a last minute comfort vote by picking the most familiar name... aka... the incumbent. Youre not going to convince a majority of them to stop sticking with the two party power grip. Im sorry, but thats just not going to happen. Not at the critical mass numbers we would need to make it work. But, a strong, unified anti-incumbent movement could gain traction. Especially if it included a hefty voter education project that would help voters understand who the non top tier primary candidates are. Im not sure how we accomplish this, but I believe its more realistic, less divisive and less toxic overall. The message is clear and simple. That most familiar name? Dont vote for it. Create a list of unforgivable votes and check to see if an incumbent voted against you. If he or she did, cut them off. No donations, no volunteering, nothing. We need to stop bickering about the parties and start focusing on the looters who get elected with a party brand. An elephant or a donkey isnt anywhere near as important as a man or a women who is in charge of our future, regardless of what party he/she caucuses with. Enough is enough. End the incumbents. It really is that simple. Of course, the hard part is getting enough people to embrace it. My two.
