Austin Petersen to run for U.S. Senate in Missouri?

[Okie RP fan]

Can someone contact him and tell him to re-think this?
He needs some sense knocked into him if he wants to be serious and try to change things.

It'll play out the exact same as anywhere else - he won't get the same air time as the R & D; he won't raise as much money; he'll be cast aside as the crazy guy; he'll end up with maybe 5-6% of the vote, most likely less. And the message will have reached the same ears and no one elses.

Start small, build up. Prove your resume.

Dude, have you been reading? He wants to enter the Missouri Senate Republican primary.

I'm reading bits and pieces here and lots of speculation in this thread. I don't see any hard confirmation that he's running LP or GOP, yet.
I wasn't necessarily thinking it was for US Senate; it's still a high bar to set and achieve even at the state level. I only wants what's best to advance the message of liberty.
From your own fingers just a few days ago:

He is considering running as a Republican. I'm not sure I would help with a moneybomb though. I have a hard time seeing him as a serious candidate.

Austin Petersen Running For Senate?

I follow him on twitter and he says he has 6 days to decide whether or not to run for Senate in 2018..... man he would be a definite PLUS. Can you imagine him in there with Rand and Lee kicking ass??

Can we get some support for him on this site??

Not sure if he's running as a republican ala Rand Paul (which would be wise) or as a Libertarian.... he will be trying to unseat Claire McKaskill..... god be with him on his quest and I will freaking donate and so should all of us here. Austin in the US senate would be the biggest thing to happen to the liberty movement since Rand was elected in Kentucky.

I get the feeling he will run GOP...

This will be another joke. Sheesh, seriously, when will these people learn?

Like Dave Brat running in a Primary against Eric Cantor?

No because Dave Brat did everything right and Cantor did everything wrong which caused Brat to get lucky. AP doesn't have a clue how to win an election. Not to mention a statewide election is a very different ballgame than a district election.

Oh piss off you blowhard. AP would be WORTHY of our support. Your selfish, ego-driven, 'my way or the highway' horseshit is getting tiresome. This forum needs to support AP just like we did Rand in 2010. This is the FIRST time I have felt the desire to actually spend my time and money on a campaign that could make a real difference in a long god damned time. AP actually inspires and walks the walk.

 

[jllundqu]

[MENTION=2]Bryan[/MENTION] ? Can we discuss adding this to the site so we can support him? He's literally Rand Paul 2.0

Edit: Ok he's not Rand 2.0, but he's pretty damn close and I like him

You obviously have no idea how to get someone elected. Because if you did you wouldn't even remotely be considering supporting AP.


If you want to support a liberty candidate for Senate, try Eric Brakey in Maine. He is in the best position to win. I am still not going to hold my breath, but he does have a lot more going for him than AP, who literally has nothing going for him.



Why don't you take some classes and learn what it takes to win an election so that you can become educated on the subject?

...the stinking republicans deserve the ted cruz-loving petersen...and his stinking 'penny plan,' capping federal spending at 18% of gdp, his insults directed at marijuana users, his OBVIOUS IGNORANCE of our monetary order [typical ludwigger] etc..

...petersen, boob barf, wayne allen root, etc., are great examples of stinking conservative republicans infesting the LP...ugh...

Well he's running as a Republican. He's already torpedoed his own campaign in Missouri as far as I'm concerned.

As I’ve said elsewhere, my vision for America is one where gay married couples can defend their marijuana fields with fully automatic machine guns. Technological and social changes notwithstanding, this is ultimately the kind of world that the Founding Fathers envisioned — where all lives matter from conception to death, and where all people are given the opportunity to make the most of their inherent liberties as rational human beings.

Not to be a Collinz but this is not how you win a conservative seat.

Looks like he wants to force us all to accept two left shoes as a pair of shoes, despite our rights to perceive reality as it is. So no.
