True on CATO and on a couple of pure libertarian beliefs - but the vast majority of their impact, the vast majority of the money, the vast majority of everything they’ve done in the past 5 years has been classic conservative Tea Party type stuff - free markets, low regulation, shrinking government, etc. They know that most of the people they want elected do not agree with them on drugs and gay issues - but they understand those are NOT priority issues.

I’d like to see a series of campaign-style ads that present my urgent concerns:

ENERGY

First, present the banner headline:

THESE PEOPLE WANT AMERICA TO BE ENERGY-POOR!

Then present photos of Marx, Stalin, Castro, Hitler, Iran’s Ayatolla, Alinsky, Harry Reid and Osama bin Ladin.

Then, present Obama’s killer “quote”:

I INTEND TO FUNDAMENTALLY DESTROY AMERICA!

IMMIGRATION

Again a headline:

THESE PEOPLE WANT AMERICA TO BE OVERRUN!

Then, show pictures of:

Putin, Mussolini, Santa Anna, Castro, Saddam Hussein, Sitting Bull, Plivin, Harry Reid and Sheik Mohammed.

Then present Obama’s “killer quote”:

I INTEND TO FUNDAMENTALLY DESTROY AMERICA.

And so forth, for defense, for Ebola, for uncontrolled bureaucracies.....

I forget....

How many “Democrat” votes do we need to “over-ride” Obama’s veto of anything that HELPS America?

“Steyer donated at least $67 million to a super PAC he created to elevate the issue, which lost most of the races in which it played. One notable exception was in Michigan, where it spent heavily on ads connecting the piles of petroleum coke contaminating the Detroit River area to the Koch brothers and Land.

Those ads worked, said Steyer’s political adviser Chris Lehane.

“As Michigan demonstrated, in an ecology where voters justifiably feel like they are not getting a fair shake, connecting the dots between a polluter a science-denier candidate and the specific harms being felt by a community is a powerful message,” Lehane said.”

What BS. Land would have made a good senator, but she was a lousy candidate. The Koch ads made no difference at all, and she outperformed all the polls.

The Koch brothers were minor players among the GOP.

No one but a few political junkies even know who the Kochs are. However, conspiracy theories like this play extremely well with the ignorant Rat “base”. It sure beats the Rat base having to believe that the majority of voters have completely repudiated their ideology.

I believe the key is to understand that big government leads to immoral government. The most powerful media interests are in league with government to promote their forms of immorality. It’s not “gay marriage” that they want but the destruction of the Church. That’s one main goal of big government.

When socialist billionaire George Soros spends his money to get Rats elected, it’s good. When conservative billionaires do the same to get conservatives elected, it’s bad. See how easy liberal logic is?

but that’s not the libertarian goal.....I think I can make a libertarian case for traditional marriage, but that’s another story.

Big-money liberal groups ranging from the Democrats’ Senate campaign arm and House super PAC to the outfits run by billionaire Tom Steyer and conservative-turned-liberal enforcer David Brock all signaled that they intended to pursue anti-Koch spending and oppo tactics headed into the 2016 election.

Brock’s American Bridge outfit on Thursday began circulating a memo to senior Democratic congressional aides and big money groups making the case for redoubling the effort to make the Kochs into boogeymen.

They need to sober up and look into the mirror.

The elite and super rich DemocRats, who run America are too old, rich and too very/very white. They are losing the battle for those who aren’t too old, rich and very/very white.

A Simple and quick analysis of the 2014 election and the younger voters:

Besides not ‘liking’ EbolaObama or their reality of Obama Economics, the younger generation has nothing in common with the Geriatric Hate America leaders of the rat party.

The Democrats, who run America are too old, too rich, and very/very white elites.

The Clintoons, the very old and worn out icons/heroes of the aging Rat party, like so many of the elite rat power insiders are ancient in age and in their political core of hating America to get votes.

There are the other geriatric leaders of the rat party: Reid, Pelosi, Boxer, Fineswine, Madam Secretary Kerry, Bidden, Jessie Jack$on/Al $harpton and others. They started their power trips in the 1960/70’s with a core of Hate America, anti business and supposedly concerned about pseudo racism. They have blamed America for the problems created by them and their allies here and around the world for decades.

Decades, later, they haven’t changed and still push their out of date anti America core beliefs to buy and pay for their feral voters. Their biggest failure, the War on Poverty, is in their minds, their biggest success.

They have left only false hope and no chance for change for the younger voters of America. Mean while they have looted the treasury and made their families and friends super wealthy elitist chrony capitalists. This leaves nothing but massive debts for our younger Americans.

Their so called younger stars are pro abortion Barbies and gay Kens with even harsher anti America values merged with phony anti racist bs backed by Eric Holder. As a result, their younger wannabees struck out as bad during this past election as their passe older generation.

So the current ancient elite white rats and strike out newbees have nothing to offer younger Americans besides more pain and more attempts to take away their hopes.
