Of course, I'm a capitalist, but I'm also a fan of the multi-party system in Canada. So, to answer your question, beats me.

And why did the New Hampshire legislature in September 2009 again make ballot access more difficult, by outlawing collecting signatures in odd years?

He also adored Richard Rider but not the on going ad infinitum debating society.

Dauben Mon, 21 Dec 2009 21:01:11 +0000 http://www.independentpoliticalreport.com/?p=11587#comment-144353 I spent eight months in New Hampshire this year, and there was so much activism among the Republican Party grassroots that it would be incendiary for a person to seek another ballot line to restore liberty. The NH Republican Volunteer Coalition led by Kevin McHugh is just one example. Those guys are Ron Paul-loving Goldwater-drinking liberty lovers. They have the resources to dispatch to any special election (I worked on a couple) in that state. Seriously, these indy guys should consider the GOP in special elections. You'll find that it's easier to get the job done as a liberty-loving Republican in liberty-loving New Hampshire than anywhere else on the ballot.
