My bio actually ran as the only libertarian candidate in his county for years. Until he realized what libertarians were all about.
And itt wasn’t about individual liberty.
Trying again.

Yes, they’re about individual liberty, at least the principled ones who actually read and think. I had a brief fling with the Libertarian party back around the 2000 election. The town I lived in at the time happened to be where the chairman of the state Libertarian party lived. He was a chain smoking contrarian who carried a copy of the constitution in his pocket. In the contacts I had with him I had no reason to think he was anything but pro-liberty. I also quickly realized that he and that crowd were completely hopeless politically and had no real interest in being otherwise. I got in the voting booth and had the stark realization that as lame as the Republicans were, at least they were out on the field getting dirty fighting the Democrats rather than just being a debating society on the sidelines. I pulled the lever for Bush and returned to the Republican fold and haven’t looked back.
