Can you explain that assertion?

If they would pool their fool money and put it into the Libertarian party... now that would have an impact.

I love the fuzzy statistics that have been used during the last year or so...particularly during the health care debate. The daily show made a good jab at CNN for fact checking an SNL sketch while ignoring the made up statistics of a bunch of their interviewees.

That bit about "millions of teabaggers" on septermber 12th? Wasn't it confirmed it wasn't more than like 30 thousandish? And they even proved that the aerial pictures of "millions of teabaggers" posted by conservative bloggers were just pictures of an anti-war protest 5 years ago. There are also the blanket statements of "most Americans agree..." which is utter baseless bullshit.

And has anyone ever explained Godwin's law to the tea baggers? I think it holds up in real life just as much as on the internet ;-)

Their math is off. Way off. It's just priceless that the teabagger brain trust cast themselves as fiscal conservatives when they cannot put together a realistic budget projection to save their lives. That 2 Million figure is a complete fantasy, off from the actual figure by orders of magnitude.

I hope they go for it, though. It should be amusing to watch a group of fringe quasi-libertarian rage junkies try to throw enough donations at the Republican party to wrest control away from the corporate interests pumping billions of dollars into campaign coffers of the GOP. Yeah, that'll work.

Assuming this guy was right, then the Tea Baggers spent a cool billion on not electing nobody!

"No way this will end well?" Guess it depends on whether the success of these lunatics is the "end well" outcome you're looking for.

Not too far from the truth:

They read my mind: I was just thinking that the Republican Party was too gawdamn liberal.

The system is utterly rigged against any third party. Look at WA state law, for instance -- third party candidates can't even get on the November ballot.

The only functional thing to do is to take over one of the two government-blessed special parties. The Republican Party is a reasonable target. Hell, in WA state they are awesomely ineffectual.

no prob, if Ron Paul wants a concurrent monetary system, lets let them all finance this with their pog and Franklin mint collections.....

wait...NOooooOOooo.
ohhhh god, holy feck we're screwed. OMG a bunch of pasty middle aged pudgy dwight shrutes are going to rule us foreverz.

"He says Democrats and Republicans used to have the same goals in mind, but..."

Well, in Congress they mostly still have the same dumb underdeveloped ideas, hence all the "centrism" and so little important, meaningful, and productive efforts coming to fruition.

A plane crash leaves an impact too.
