There is an obvious tactical way to avoid the pitfalls the Reform, Green and Libertarian parties fell into. We run as Republicans then switch to the Patriot party after election. It is pretty easy to get on the ballot for a major party primary. Most states require less than 100 signatures and a filing fee that is usually three figures or less. I would love to see the look on McConnell's face when he thinks the Republicans have retaken Congress only to find out that half or more of the new faces hate his guts.

Great point! I used to identify more with the Dems under Bush. Cynthia Mckinney, Alan Grayson, Dennis Kusinich and Cindy Sheehan were true populists who actually wanted to audit the Federal Reserve and end war. The first three were redistricted out of congress and Sheehan had her political office fire bombed when she ran against Pelosi. Even Alex Jones was thought of as slightly left wing back then. It is obvious though that red districts are a better starting point because they tend to play by the election rules whereas deep blue districts are cesspools of fraud.
