Why is this not criminal? If I go to a competitor and tell them to leave my "territory" alone I go to jail for collusion and attempting to manipulate the market, no? If Coke tried to do this to RC Cola, someone would be under the jail house it seems to me, but because this is the marketplace of ideas and democracy we allow these forces to manipulate and corrupt freely while hiding behind "free speech" or "corporate personhood" at the least. It's disgusting. Any Green who tried to pull crap like this would face a very angry party rank-and-file, and I don't understand why rank-and-file Democrats and Republicans don't raise hell at the way their leaders are corrupting what is the only thing that really offers us a chance to think of America as great: our values and Constitution.

I'll update the item accordingly. Thanks Trent, I thought it was odd I saw no reference to him on the CP Idaho site. I’ll update the item accordingly.

I like Rex Rammell...he's basically just a pissed off Republican. “Pro Life” Richardson is not the CP candidate,he’s been cast away by that party.
