That's what I said, but according to some there's no difference at all between the Democrats and Republicans.

If parties are irrelevant, I wonder how someone like John Dennis would have done in San Francisco running as a Democrat primary challenger to Pelosi? His message "should" in theory resonate with the people of San Francisco, but they just can't seem to get past the (R).
Would it be dishonest for liberty candidates to join whatever party their district generally votes for to get into office? Or should they only stick to (R)?

Technically, both political parties should obey the Constitution. The trick is to represent your constituents and understand what the Democrats want, but don't cross the Constitutional boundaries.

I can't agree. We need all small govt, mind your own business, need some gold to back up that $$ to unite in one body. We otherwise are too spread thin. It has to be US and THEM. US Libertarians THEM big two. Or US real conservatives THEM rinos.
It has to be US/THEM. And if WE won't make it that way, THEY will.

You mean 2014? Graham doesn't have to defend until then.
I would've voted for him. I'm just saying that it probably would've been smarter for him to run in the GOP primary against Graham in a Republican state like South Carolina.
Look at the results.
Lindsey Graham (R) - 57.6%
Bob Conley (D) - 42.40%
Not too bad going against a Republican establishment candidate.
Yes, if he runs against Graham. I simply want someone with his views in a position of power ASAP.

Yes, but 2008 was a really good year for Democrats and a really bad year for Republicans. He would have even less of a chance of winning as a Democrat in 2014 if he were to run again.

The democrat establishment too. IIRC they practically endorsed Graham over their own candidate.
Otherwise he would have to run for the seat Demint is vacating in 2016.
It depends if the Republicans live up to their promises or not.
Assuming he runs for the US Senate, yes. Personally, I remember Larry McDonald and the fiasco surrounding KAL 007. If Bob even remotely fits the political profile of McDonald, I want him into political office ASAP. The US Senate would be nice, but not necessary at this point.
As a movement, we need to push candidates like the former Larry McDonald into running for office as Democrats so the people have potentially TWO viable candidates from which to choose. Instead of selecting from the lesser of two evils, we select from the greater of two good candidates.
