The libertarian candidate for governor of Indiana Donald rainwater has raised 165000 dollars in recent weeks. The rumors about it being a three way election could have serious legs

Money raised doesn’t matter when the two big parties do everything in their power to suppress your voters


Libs and greens keep needing there to be giant cross-party conspiracies to suppress them because the alternative is accepting that they aren't actually that popular.

They aren't popular because the establishment media takes every opportunity to feed lies about them and boost their hegemony.

Indeed Cisairse. You must choose. But choose wisely, as the true candidate will bring you life, and the false candidate will take it from you.

h e g e n o m y

In all seriousness, it's a fairly accurate description. I think it's the result of having two parties become hugely popular, enough to divert all the action to them so that the other parties are forgotten about. Happens here in the UK as well, but at least here the third parties have some sort of a voice, enough to make an impact on the main parties do (which it has in the past). Whereas in the US, I wonder how many know about the other options.

Democrat Joe Biden is a Hypocrite. Strongly criticized Bernie's praise of Fidel and Cuba for political reasons, while he supports friendly, economic, political, cultural and tourist diplomatic relations with the communist Castro revolutionary eternal dictators regime, that calls itself so, that says we are the continuity of the revolution, this statement says it all. The Same Policy of Democrat Obama. See Democrat Joe Biden is a Political Hypocrite too.
Joe Biden and the Democrats play politics toot, they both do it, in politics everything works both ways, this is a FACT and I am not lying.

Another one of my canned answers based on Facts.
