Libertarian Candidate, Tim Hampton, Is Gaining Momentum In MS-4
From MajorityInMs.com:
Not that Tegerdine wasn’t a Republican, but he was certainly cut from the libertarian mold similar to a Ron Paul- and someone like Hampton. And while it would be impossible to pigeon hole which direction his 11,000 or so voters will go a fair statement would say a good many of those votes are up for grabs. And the same goes with the Tea Party and 912 groups in South Mississippi who endorsed Tegerdine. I don’t know of any groups affiliated with the Tea Party movement supporting a third-party candidate over a credible Republican, but it could certainly happen. Same goes with some of Tegerdine’s most ardent supporters and campaign volunteers. (…more from majorityinms.com)
Adding even a small portion of the Tea Party and 912 grassroots support to Tim Hampton’s campaign would change the dynamics of the MS-4 race going into November. It would send a strong message to the cozy political establishment of both parties that their ideas have failed – miserably – and politics as usual just won’t cut it anymore.
It should be noted as well that the Libertarian Party is the fastest growing 3rd political party in America. And according to Danny Bedwell (Chairman of the Libertarian Party of Mississippi), from April 2009 through April 2010 the Libertarian Party of Mississippi grew 38.4% – making Mississippi the 2nd fastest growing Libertarian Party of any other state – the exception being Arkansas which grew by 39.1%.
No doubt the Libertarian Party candidate, Tim Hampton, will gain support from Democrats, Republicans, and Independents that are fed up with the ever-reaching personal and economic intrusions by our federal government. Peaceful, voluntary interaction brings neighbors and communities together instead of dividing them along the two major political parties whose only goal seems to be to grow in power over one another – despite what’s best for your family or the country.
We all basically want the same things in life – to keep what we earn without having to worry that our money and private property will be devalued or taken by the government; to live peacefully with our neighbors; and to keep our personal choices personal – so long as we don’t harm or defraud others. The freedom to learn from our own decisions (good or bad) and the God-given right to simply live and let live is something that reasonable people from all “sides” can agree on.
The question is… how much of your personal and economic relationship with others should be regulated, manipulated, and forced on you by our federal government and how much should be voluntary and left up to the individuals involved? The answer to that question and the courage to vote accordingly in November will determine the winner of the race to represent Mississippi’s 4th congressional district.

Grassroots billboards are the best – simple, straightforward, and they express the frustration felt by the average voter that clean, professionally made political signs just can’t convey.
This is just inconsiderate of Congressman Gene Taylor and it shows how detached from south Mississippi he has become over his 21-year career in Washington DC. 11 people are dead; the gulf coast’s fishing, shrimping, and tourism industry have already taken a hit; dead animals are washing ashore; and the long term increase in gas prices consumers will have to pay if this oil spill brings new regulations – are all pretty damn bad in most people’s opinion.
As I mentioned
Seen any "2010 candidate" or FireGeneTaylor.com signs or stickers around Mississippi's 4th district?
Gene Taylor elected Nancy Pelosi as Speaker of the House. That puts her 3rd in line to be our President.
