Note their agenda.

And there is this from Wikipedia:

In 2008, “The IPO ran eight of its own candidates and cross-nominated four major party candidates in the 2008 election, including Democrats Jeff Merkley and Ben Westlund”

In 2010, “The IPO became the first political party in the United States to conduct a binding statewide Primary Election entirely over the internet.[20] 86 candidates participated in the election. Former Governor John Kitzhaber, a Democrat, won the party’s nomination in a three-person race.”

Yeah, sounds really conservative to me.

Sounds something on the order of the Non-Partisan League, or NPL. They were socialists trying to mask themselves as not biased, often tied directly to the dem party at election time.

That Oregon outfit is just a different name, same game.
