During his recent campaign stop in Marshall, Libertarian Party nominee for Texas Agriculture Commissioner Rocky Palmquist said hes tired of taxes, regulations and the two-party systems promises, which is why he decided to run for office.
I got into this race for the mere fact that the two-party system, which I like to call bipolar politics, says the same thing over and over again every four years, said Palmquist, a farmer, rancher and independent horticultural consultant from Bastrop County.
And it doesnt matter whether its the Democrat or the Republic, its the same coin, its just two different sides of it, he said.
So, somebody had to step up and say weve been regulated enough or taxed enough. Were tired of the agricultural department agency looking over our shoulders. Were tired of having to pay $125 to grow a flower, Palmquist said.
Were tired of the school lunch programs and school breakfast programs that have been infiltrated by the feds ... mandatory lunches. And not only is it the lunch, theyre about to be serving breakfast and supper, too, all across the state year round, he said..
Palmquist believes that since the agriculture department is the agency that will administer that, the first thing he would do, if elected into office, is start looking at how many programs are unfunded mandates imposed by the federal government.
What I think we need to do is have somebody thats got the guts to tell them OK, you want us to do this wheres the money because were not going to take it out of the taxpayers pockets in the state of Texas anymore, Palmquist said.
The federal governmen, according to Palmquists opinion, has no idea what Texas needs.
They have no way of knowing. So what we have to do, we have to get in there, get the offices leveled out, Palmquist said. We need some top-down job attrition. We need cuts in the school lunch program, breakfast program, supper program not additions. The money is already there; we dont need it.
In addition to the lunch programs, he also wants to take a look at giant corporations that are impacting the agriculture industry such as Monsanto and ADM (Archer Daniels Midland).

Libertarian candidate Samuel Davenport overcame a second effort to disqualify himfrom the 2nd Congressional District race Tuesday. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeal ruled8-3 that the challenge to his candidacy, filed by Eliza Eugene and Lawrence Galle, had no legal merit, affirming the decision of Civil District Court Judge Lynn Luker.
Davenport greeted the ruling with jubilation and a challenge to incumbent Cedric Richmond, D-New Orleans. "My opponent, instead of trying to bully himself an election, should just let the people decide," he said. He encouraged his supporters to help him win another victory, this one at the ballot box on Nov. 4.
Ike Spears, a Richmond ally and the lawyer who argued on behalf of Eugene and Galle during the appeal, did not immediately return a message left at his office.
Eugene and Galle's objection to Davenport's candidacy was made predominantly on the grounds that Davenport filled out the wrong address on his forms to register for the ballot.Davenport listed his domicile as 317 St. James Place in LaPlace, where he said he plans to move at the end of the month from a Metairie apartment where he currently lives. The LaPlace residence is in Louisiana's 2nd Congressional District; the Metarie apartment is not.
The qualifying form implies that residency in the district is required, as it is for state offices. However, federal rules do not require congressional candidates to live within the district that they wish to represent, and the 4th Circuit Court's majority said in its opinion that thestate has no authority to impose additional requirements.
Davenport was one of three candidates in the 2nd District race to see his qualifications challenged.Rufus Johnson and Gary Landrieu were both disqualified by lower courts due to outstanding ethics fines related to late campaign finance reporting.
Landrieu appealed that ruling to the 4th Circuit and succeeded in having his candidacy reinstated. Johnson did not appeal the decision.
Voting with the majority were Judge Joy Cossich Lobrano, Judge James McKay, Judge Dennis Bagneris, Judge Max Tobias, Judge Roland L. Belsome, Judge Paul Bonin, Judge Daniel Dysart, Judge Rosemary Ledet.
Dissenting were Judge Terri Love, Judge Edwin Lombard, and Judge Cabrina Jenkins.
