Don't be fooled by this article, Lampson or any of the other Republicans will not be representing anyone in the district as they are big government politicians. Smithers is the only one proposing real solutions that would give us freedom and limited government. I’m also thinking about donating to Smithers campaign, even though I’m out of state.

Hahahahahahahahaha! Thanks for reaffirming me in my choice to send money to Smither's campaign. "Elect me because I'm Anti-Bush". The Democratic Party. The party of ideas. “Lampson is the only clear choice for in this race for voters.” Hahahahahahahahaha!

Unfortunately, the sad result of the author's reinforcement of the 2 party monopoly is that this will continue to make things only get worse. Big government is the problem, not the solution, and makes the people worse off than they would be in a free country, except for the favored cronies who benefit from and encourage the corruption inherent in big government. And of course the politicians will not take responsibility for making the people worse off, they'll blame it on each other's parties, or on the people themselves. It's long past time to quit voting for Democrats and Republicans altogether (except for Ron Paul at least), and this election provides an especially reasonable opportunity to try out a Libertarian. And don't give in to the "wasted vote" argument - voting for the "lesser of the 2 evils" guarantees evil, that's how the 2 party monopoly maintains their power (that and by excluding Libertarians from the debates to keep the people in the dark). Vote for someone you can really vote FOR for a change - vote for Bob Smither and all the Libertarian candidates on the ballot.

Nick Lampson is the only candidate who will continue to deliver the pork. That's what really matters to CD22 voters? After seeing how badly the federal government screwed up response to Hurricanes Katrina and Rita, I'd be willing to vote against that ever happening again, as you criticize Ron Paul for doing.
