Good evening again, Frank!

Now the question. If you are a Libertarian in Hawaii, or in

To which, you replied:
You enter the game of partisan politics and lie like the rest of them.
Now, ain't this a son of a gun!
Actually, probably a point that I was hoping to make might have
been somewhat different. Since there are dominant Party labels
in various states, such as Idaho and Hawaii (conversely GOP and
Democrat), and such labels rarely express the real political
ideology of a candidate, lying isn't probably even necessary.
If you happen to live in Hawaii, and you are a Libertarian, then
you enter a given race as a Democrat candidate and spew a radical
Libertarian platform agenda. Conversely, in Idaho, you enter a
given race as a Republican candidate and spew the same
Libertarian-driven agenda. Most of the "sheep-herd" populace
won't see anything other than perhaps the Democrat or GOP label
as attached to the candidate.
I guess I'm suggesting this because this happens in both Idaho
and Hawaii all the time. The so-called GOP control over the
State of Idaho isn't as awesome as it appears. The state
legislature is turning heavily to the left even under the GOP
label, which is why the GOP in Idaho is heavily divided. I
imagine it is somewhat the case in Hawaii (Democrat controlled)
today as well, although I am not so certain it has the same depth
as it does in Idaho.
Kindest regards,
Frank
