One party fights for free market enterprises, low taxes, equal rights, .... one party fights for behavior control, HIWAY robbery taxes of the common people, and a free ride at the expense of others while shutting down the free market.
I do believe I'll stick with the former, not the latter, but thanks for the warning.
Btw, one might think ol Slantzz is begging for money again, like always. This time, he's skirting the real issue though, that his favorite politicians have happily bestowed upon him. Ya wants to open the border to just anybody, ya gots to support em somehow. He just never thought in a million years they would use his retirement money for that. He assumed they'd be using everybody else's. Too bad Berekly& other indoctrinated universities have been fighting for the right to oppose the first amendment eh. (And 2nd, 3rd, & on down the line).

If you look at the Congressional Record, it is liberal Democrats only who want to "squash e-cigs". That is something that those who vape should definitely consider when voting. Funny how the Majority Leader of the House just proposed to the FDA a change in their Deeming Regulations (change the Grandfather clause) that is the first positive action on vaping by any politician.

David Koch in his recent interview with Barbara Walters...
WALTERS: Their critics say David Koch and his brother are responsible for secretly financing the Tea Party, polluting the environment, funding candidates who deny climate change, and buying elections with buckets of dough. You are not well liked primarily because of your very conservative politics. Describe your political point of view.
KOCH: Well, I'm basically a libertarian. I'm a conservative on economic matters, and I'm a social liberal.
WALTERS: You support gay rights. You support a woman's right to choose. But conservative candidates you support, many of them, do not have those views.
KOCH: Well, that's their problem. I do have those views. What I want these candidates to do is to support a balanced budget. And I'm very worried that if the budget is not balanced, that inflation could occur, and the economy of our country can suffer terribly.
WALTERS: So the candidates you support are because of their fiscal policies most important?
KOCH: That's exactly right, Barbara. I'm really focused intensely on economic and fiscal issues because if those go bad, the country as a whole suffers terribly.
-----
As a libertarian the Koch brothers have had connections with Cato Institute and the Reason Foundation - which publishes Reason Mag - where Jacob Sullum works and writes and we've seen more pro-ecig pieces from Cato, Reason and Sullum usually via Forbes magazine.
The Koch connection with tobacco goes back to the Cato Institute's fight against the regulation of cigarettes based on false 'second-hand smoke' studies by the Clinton/Browner EPA at the time. They helped fight against restrictions and taxes that plagued most of us as smokers. Since libetarians in general are the biggest opponents of any regulation by government, they are the best friends that vapers could have with regard to keeping vaping free of gov't intervention in the free market.

When it comes to vaping from a political perspective, the article is irrelevant. There is only one part of the political spectrum that has been anti-vaping as outlined in my post above. From a vaping perspective, that is what those who vape need to be aware of when they vote. The facts are in the Congressional Record, which you ignore. Again, typical.
