Is there any way to stop Dems from running as Libertarians or Tea Party on the ballot? I WISH there was a way to vet the candidates so the citizens can find out who are plants and who are truly Libertarian or Tea Party. IIRC, the Dems ran a candidate as a Tea Party candidate in NY state a few years ago to help the Dem win in a special election to replace a R who had texted bare chested photos of himself to a woman who was not his wife (he had resigned due to the photos. Oh, to return to the days of integrity). The Dem won because the ‘Tea Party’ candidate (who was actually a Dem) took enough votes away from the R. I know we should just expect lying from the Dems, but the people who are too busy working and supporting their families to read up on elections should have a way to find out the truth. The RNC doesn't seem to be the way forward in learning the truth.

Great point and it gives me some new focus. How could it have been that nobody knew who was funding that little worm Sarvis’ election?? To get that information a couple days before the election was pointless, it needed to be known months ago!

Then again, I’ve seen that some people just refuse to look at facts and will vote however they want based on their pet issues.
