Who has grown the federal government more in the last 70 years, big government R or big government D? Who has regulated away more of your liberty, red big government or blue big government?
Who Cares!!!
The point is the two parties have learned to collude together to continually grow their power and diminish individual liberty. This is hard to admit because we feel like one party or the other used to be great and if we stick with it we can fix it. To me, this is similar to a battered spouse saying “other than getting drunk and beating me up once a week he/she is a great person.” I say it is time to end this abusive relationship and admit the two parties have failed liberty long ago.
Now that we are ready to restore constitutional liberty, the threatened centralized powers warn us if we, citizen legislators, run for legislative office it will fracture the red big government vote we will get too much of the blue big government.
Did you notice there is NO CHOICE FOR LIMITED GOVERNMENT OR CONSTITUTIONAL LIBERTY? Are we not supposed to notice or be afraid to say something? Should we listen to their lies one more time and hope this time it works out?
I say it is time to fracture the big government vote. They are not invincible. Big government is defeatable. We the people are the only ones who can fail liberty. Citizens are stepping forward now in states across the country. Find liberty minded candidates in your state. Support them and not your failed relationship with a big party.
@Scott,
Great commentary – spot on! I'll continue to vote my conscience, not the lesser of two evils. That is my citizen responsibility in this great Constitutional Republic.

Great post Scott and right on the mark. It's a dirty little secret that the two party system has kept us in bondage to a HUGE centralized and powerful federal government. 2010 has to be the year it ends! I'm with you Scott.
Exactly, Mark – as Sun Tzu wrote – "divide and conquer"
As long as they keep us fighting amongst ourselves, they'll continue to grow their own power.
Scott: Point well taken and one I write about often. It is a lie we must choose between the two major party candidates so we don't "waste" our vote. Our votes have been wasted over the last decade of election cycles. There are seemingly no patriots left in either party. If there are they have been overshadowed by party politics.
Good luck in your run. I wish I was in your district to support your issues…
Thank you Rick. I like your statement "there are no patriots left in either party". I would also say if a patriot entered a big party he would have no chance in restoring constitutional liberty.
