The primary is on August 10.
Writes Dan Rindos:
The New Haven Register actually ran one of the best written and video interviews of Peter Schiff that I have seen so far in the campaign....This is the perfect way to let Registered Republicans really understand what his positions and beliefs are in a concise and extremely well done video interview....kind of suprised me that the Register actually did this....hats off to them! Anyway get this link spread around to anyone who has every said "I don't know much about him.... " Go view the interview yourself and then "Share" it on Facebook, Twitter, etc. NH Register Interview of Peter Schiff

NH Register Interview of Peter Schiff
Please do spread the word!
Make Schiff happen!
[Yes, I know this site is not for political campaigns, but Peter Schiff is about ideas, and getting him into the federal Senate is about spreading ideas.]
Schiff destroyed those two clowns in a debate.
The Republican Party stands for big government + policies that lead to socialism.
The Democratic Party stands for big government + socialism.
The two parties take turns in order to progressively implement socialism. There is actually only one party; The Big Government Party.
It makes me uneasy when Schiff says he stands for true Republican ideals. He does not. Schiff stands for the things he outlines in the video. He should run as an independent. He would gain no traction, but at least the fiction of the Republican Party standing for "limited government" would not be advanced.

The idea is to turn the Republican Party into a kind of Libertarianish party. It actually might work now that the Democrats are clearly Corporatist/Socialist and the Republicans are trying to position themselves as the representatives of the far right. Ron Paul has had plenty of success. If it works out, the Republicans might end up reforming to something like what the Democratic Party was in the 1880s and 90s (when the Bourbon Democrats were in charge).
My Buddy:The idea is to turn the Republican Party into a kind of Libertarianish party.
I respect and support Ron Paul and Peter Schiff. In fact, I think Ron Paul is a heroic figure given his decades of service and steadfast, consistent ideology. But he is only one member of Congress who is ignored. He has said as much himself in interviews I've heard.
I simply do not believe the Republican Party can be reformed. It does not want to be reformed. It sees nothing wrong with itself. Millions of voters would have to realize that classical liberal ideas are superior to what the Republican Party has to offer. The problems is, millions of voters depend on subsides, protectionism, and big government-ism that the Republican Party provides.
G.W. Bush, McCain, Palin and McCain's cohort in the Senate, Jon Kyle, are the EXACTLY what the Republican Party stands for.
My Buddy:It actually might work now that the Democrats are clearly Corporatist/Socialist and the Republicans are trying to position themselves as the representatives of the far right.
But the Republican Party is Corporatist / Socialist too. It's positioning, if any, is merely election year nonsense.
I just think an Independent Party could shed the dead wood of Republicanism once and for all. Actually, I believe it is useless to support a political party of any kind. Government, given its nature, cannot be reformed or restrained.
Thanks for the reference to the Bourbon Democrats. Their ideology does sound remarkably similar to Ron Paul / Peter Schiff. But during the panic, the voters wanted to inflate the money supply, the Bourbon Democrats opposed it. Look what happened to them by 1904. Bourbon Democrats
