I sort of have a vague recollection of the Free State thing and basically that it pretty much was a total flop. I think I did read an article about it years after it was attempted that sort of took the attitude it was a crazy joke.

I offered up the video of Weld and Johnson in no way as an endorsement of them nor as an option for people that don't want to vote for Clinton or Trump. The main reason I posted it had to do with my comments on the Republican party. These guys may represent one possible route that party may go. Weld and Johnson being Republicans (old school) after all. Their platform of fiscal conservatism paired with progressive social policy and a non-interventionist foreign policy is likely one of the better directions the Republicans could go in. Of course that would mean dumping their heavy involvement with Tea Party like nuts and backing away from the Christian right...and of course a full "Dump the Trump" agenda.

I sort of wondered what Pat, Dale, or Marc might think of the Johnson and Weld video. I mean as much as I feel disenfranchised by the direction the Democrats have taken I wonder how people that might want to vote Republican feel about how that party has utterly collapsed.

I think Weld joined Johnson's ticket specifically because what they are up to is attempting to offer some sort of beacon for lost Republicans to follow.

I mean to me voters that prefer Democrats or Republicans should not be at odds because currently they have a couple of assholes at the top of their tickets. We're all in an unfortunate position because of that.
