If you could recall or fire a politican at any time you might have a
point. politicans need to be kept humble with the way the system is
now I don't trust any of them far, at least locally I can see and
holler at them. Concentrate on building from the bottom if you are
going to run people for office, at the local and county level and be
sure to let them know who is
boss.
It is a waste of time and money to run someone for office where
it represents more than a US House Seat, so stay away from running
people for govenor except in the smaller states, don't run anyone for
US Senate and please don't run anyone for
president.
There is a very key reason the LP should not run anyone for
president to pull people away from the great fallacy of the one man
answer, the father fiqure, the great manger who can run the economy
and keep us safe from all the bad people worldwide. If people are
going to be educated about libertarian ideas it sure should not be by
someone looking to hold such a powerful seat.--- In
