Winning the Live Chats and Upcoming Events!!


While my Republocrat opponents, Mr. Dent and Mr. Callahan, had enough time to shun six debates locally, they did have enough time to spare for a 1 hour live chat sponsored by the Morning Call.  You can read my transcript here, Mr. Dent’s here, and Mr. Callahan’s here.  Local columnist Bill White wrote that I was the clear victor and the chats were like Secretariat racing two mules.

Mules, donkeys, elephants, whatever.  The career politicians of today are practically dinosaurs, as this short clip demonstrates that both Mr. Callahan and Mr. Dent simply cannot grasp – or, as a far worse possibility, simply won’t talk about – the money-printing practices and upcoming quantitative easing of the Federal Reserve.  They do not wish to talk about their own perks either.  (On the right is a 30 minute interview with Tekoa da Silva of Contrary Investors Cafe.)

    Mr. Towne,

    I have followed your race from Ohio with great interest. You give all liberty lovers hope. If you do not win this election, you have done amazing ground work for the next election and I hope you would consider running again.

    But that being said, I hope you win this time. You have run an amazing campaign. Thank you for your sacrifice.

    Jake I had a dream last night about the outcome of your election race.
    In it you won with 41% of the total vote!!

    What can I say?
    On my website I set up a poll and you are so far winning it with…100% of the total votes cast!!

    When Jake Towne asked the other candidates what they thought about “quantitative easing,” it reminded me of the movie, “Tombstone.” “Why Johnny…you look like someone just walked over your grave.” They both had complete blank stares on their faces and did not know how to even approach answering the question. If people continue to fall for the “free sh**” policies promised to them by running candidates,they will find themselves poorer and with less-liberty. They will find themselves with a “blank stare” on the faces wondering what the hell just happened.
