Ok, if you’re that unhappy that one summer of TEA Party gatherings didn’t sweep America to a future of constitutional piety and lean government then go right ahead and start your own 50-state ballot-qualified political party. And good luck with that.

With a lot of hard work – and I mean a lot as in it will suck up the whole of your personal life for the forseeable future and beyond – you might just grow your baby into something larger than the Libertarian Party. And maybe as influential. (There’s a reason Ron Paul isn’t seeking the Libertarian nod again. One lesson was enough even for him.)

Those who are complaining about the choices somebody else recruited for their party’s local committee posts, city council candidate, and on up to the presidential primary contenders are forgetting that, well, somebody else did the work. Where were you? Blogging, or not even that – just reading blogs. Wow, a big help that was.
