I agree totally. I think we
I agree totally. I think we need to have a 2-pronged, if not 3-pronged approach.
Weaken the Republicans through infiltration, weaken the Democrats through infiltration and attack from the outside as well.
If Gary Johnson is getting marketshare from without, it forces Republicans and Democrats to move in order to cover their bases and keep them from leaving. Democrats will be forced to come out against the drug war and immigration war. Republicans will be forced to come out against the Fed and IRS.
Both parties will ALWAYS shift to try to maintain as close to 50% market share as possible. But if they don't move fast enough, it could become 40/40/20. Either way, liberty wins and grows.
That's why I'm realistic that Paul won't win the nomination BUT there is a huge chance to influence policy, moving Republicans to where they can pick up independents from Democrats. Johnson takes independents from Democrats. Then they shrink. And they lose. And they need to reevaluate their statist beliefs. Get them into a war over who believes in smaller government and more freedom.
You can lose the battle and still win the war.
