We need your list of Libertarian candidates and guidance as to what to do if none are offered in a local race??? 
 
 

You had a nice list fo parties to choose from - many of which I don't see eye to eye with.

I'm pretty Libertarian 'bout stuff. I like the underpinning philosphy. Jibes most closely with the Consitution in my interpretation. They just need more candidates to field and more money for marketing. Thing is - nobody with any substantial wants to give money to a Libertarian candidate as they aren't likely to be swayed by it.

My answer is vote Libertarian!

When the Money Parties own the ball and the field, it's difficult for anyone else to play the game.
here are the Libertarian Candidates on ballot in PA:

Douglas M. Jamison U.S. Senator (pushed off ballot - write-in)
Marakay Rogers Governor (pushed off ballot - write-in)
Kat Valleley Lt. Governor (pushed off ballot - write-in)

As far as District 3 goes - I'll write in someone else.


I do like Brad Roae though. A rather decent fellow.

Why do I get the feeling this is Pat Paulson for POTUS all over again..... Just not too sure....

So - at the Meadville Halloween Parade, when the Republican Mike Kelly entourage walked by there was a lot of clapping and huzzahs and such . . . when the Dahlkemper Democrat group went by, I swear I heard crickets. Seems Sherman Allen is well liked by folks though. Or maybe they were diggin' his offroad Segway. ( I liked Roger Williams as a Commissioner back in his day. )

This is a rhetorical political question... why do people of lesser financial means persist in supporting the upper economic classes politically?

[lifefeedsonlife]

That doesn't have a rhetorical answer though.

Probably because most of the people running for office are wealthier than us common folk. I personally can think of only two people I know of that are wealthier than most of  the people they back for office.

Georgr Soros comes to mind. He's the real life Blofeld.

[Amidala]

No, it doesn't, life but it just seems to me like the people with less money persist in supporting the ideologies of the weathy -- "them that has gets" and is supported by those without.  Know what I mean, Jelly Bean??

[lifefeedsonlife]

Yes'm I do. NP nailed it. Seems one needs the appropriate finances or financial backing in order to get anywhere 'far' in politics. Money is master in the system the Money Parties have created.

Philosophies are served far less than financial interests . . . .

I am not one of those who "HAS" but.... I have never been hired by ANYONE in my lifetime who made LESS money than than I did. Money doesn't make you terrible.... it is the gray matter that does that. How many people really think Gates and his wife are REALLY terrible?? SOme small towns and colleges appreciate past residents and alumni who do make it big and brings monetary HELP to the entities.
 
I don't like Collin Powell but.... before the State of PA shut down Scotland School for Veterans Children, he had a cullinary school building built for the students to larn aspects of the food industry... management to cook.... Now that is but a few years old and is being torn down. He had money and thought of a good place to spend it..... to maybe better lives of those who had less. Point is.... all rich people are not bad and all poor people are not good. Deeds tell a lot about a person.

I've always wondered the same thing. 
People who ain't got a pot to piss in voting for millionaire Republicans who could care less about them.  Very strange.

[CindyLouWho]

So fill me in on these poor folk running for office?

Again..... my Mantra has been and continues to be..... if the problems in society..at all levels....get over whelming... hunt the first suspect, in your mirror. Politics runs on messages ...right or wrong..but a hell of a lot of money. The bottom line on ANY issue are, "Do we have the money to support the person or the projects but......just how much money CAN we spend as opposed to JUST SPEND IT." We have made political entities an industry. You CANNOT run for a damned thing out side your local community without your own money or people willing to throw theirs at you. We want SHOWS.... RALLIES, EVENTS, international personalities or just national personalities.... Movie Stars, Musicians and "RICH" people who have something to say. We have turned the Political Machine inot a HUNGRY, GREEDY UNSATIABLE EVENT. We require the full use of all the Media... We did this. We look at the High Gloss pamplets in the mail and wonder how much THAT cost to print..... just before we File 13 the damned thing. We even WANT, Lawyers, Doctors, CEOs and yes...even Movie Stars to run. I think the last POTUS without a college degree was Harry S. Oh and did I tell you, he worked in men's Habidashery??? WE created the boundries we expect them to touch... Now a POTUS prospect has to raise multi millions and probably BILLIONS to be put on the block.
 
So.... now we argue about rich people? It is WE who did this so...as they say.... Lead, follow or get the hell out of the way, unless you can offer up real answers and not cry at the entity you created , Dr. Victor/Victoria Frankenstein. This is OUR monster but Bietching doesn't control it. Oh, and I don't believe in Santa, Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or Superman so don't offer up crap. In this Political Sewage... there is and will be only a few "boats" to even have any sort of input. You can vote on ANYONE of the other PARTY offerings but.... you will be back at the next election doing and saying the same thing. All I can say is EXCERSIZE your Write in ability... sans Mickey Mouse or Goofy. And, when you do, maybe you ought to write a check to this person, because of all I said in the beginning of this rant. If you don't.... then who are you trying to fool??? Skin in the Game. You don't need to send much.... cost of a pack of Cigarettes, a can of beer or a lottery ticket. To talk about the OFF THE GRID offerings is cheap.... putcher money where your mouth is.
 
Better yet, suit up and "man" up and make a run, yourself.

Many poor people tend to be/vote for Republicans, whose policies clearly favor the wealthy, imho. Why this is, I do not know. I prefer to support someone whose policies favor those of us with lesser means....
