Laughed my ass off. Helping to spread as I'm watching it for a second time.

Watched, liked, shared, posted, tweeted, emailed! This is a great, funny ad that spreads the word about how bad Clump are.
The ad's even made its way around the media, being the subject of articles on Red State, Washington Post, the San Diego Tribune, and other places. Most excellent.

Good video. They have a method of matching unhappy (D)s with unhappy (R)s. To enter the site I had to answer; if Trump or Hilary were your only choices, who would you vote for? I didn't have an answer and closed the browser.

Yeah, BalancedRebellion will only work for people who have a preference between a shit sandwich and a giant douche.
No offense, but this sounds ridiculous. I don't think they'll be able to fool many people with this. People are either going to vote for Johnson or not. Matching me with a Democrat who will vote for Johnson just to help cancel out a pro-Hillary vote is ridiculous and counter-productive to defeating Hillary if that was my original intention of voting for Trump anyway. This just looks like another mechanism to generate an email list.
and if the only thing balancedrebellion has against Trump is the media's constant claims that he is a racist; then they don't really have anything on Trump at all. Calling a candidate racist is the oldest and most played out line of them all. We all know that if Rand was the nominee, they'd be calling him a racist too; just like they tried to do with his dad Ron.

Not exactly sure about the efficacy on the grand scale but you don't really have a clear understanding of how exactly a lot of these voters are thinking. The video makes an important point that a lot of these people are A) voting against the other person and B) voting third party is a wasted vote, giving some good argument as to why A and B are no long important.
Kibbe is going for 100M reach and has already put 100K in ad spend for this video.
Already 30k people pledged their vote in the few days this has been up and I haven't been asked for my email yet.

My favorite part was the: Building a 20 billion dollar wall in case if mexico does not know what ladders are. HAHAH. I was laughing loud at that one.
This is seriously a good idea though.

This is a really interesting new political technology. Not saying that I'm voting for Johnson, but this is the best new political technology I've heard of all cycle. It is even better than Liberty Ballot, my favorite new technology from the last cycle.

Me too! That was great... and, sadly, accurate. Does anyone believe a wall will do much when we already have a wall along long portions of the border?

They need something like that for other states, too.

Using Abraham Lincoln to advertise for libertarians is just a ridiculous sham.

Lincoln was a very odd choice. The two lines that jumped out at me were:
"Splitting the nation in two - but what do I know about that."
"Trump and Hillary are both pro-war."
Coming from the guy who split the nation in two and started a disastrous war, I wondered whether this was intentional irony.
I found the ad creepy.
And then the line about "not try to tell you how to practice your religion" - this, about the guy who said that freedom of religion was a black hole - by which he clearly meant that the government can tell you how to practice your religion.

It does seem to be a very proven concept, over thousands of years of human history. Few human inventions have been used as often, as thoroughly, and as long, as the wall. It exceeds the wheel, for example, on all these counts by ten to a hundred times.
Walls are proven technology. (It is bizarre that anyone would have to point this out.)

Agreed. The only thing close to it that I've seen is the RLCNH using it this cycle to target RINO state reps. in primaries. I guess the RLCNH also likes it

I live seven miles from the border with Mexico. While there is a big wall here, it doesn't keep illegals out. Your "proven technology" has been foiled by more advanced "technology": shovels, ladders, smugglers, etc. It's bizarre that anyone would have to point this out to you.
"This idea of building the China Wall on our southern border and making Mexico pay for it, I don't understand how people say 'that's a good idea,' and that's his rallying cry. I find that a little bit silly." --Ron Paul
