BTW, thanks to the Losertarian party, Washington state has a Dem governor. Ideological purity has a steep price.

I agree that Libertarian Ruth Bennett tilted the outcome of the Washington state governor's race by receiving 63,416 votes.

However, Bennett is a lesbian in an open relationship with another woman, so I really, really doubt thise 63,414 votes were all going to go to Rossi. Or even a majority of them. It's unlikely those Bennett voters were all your typical bearded, Ayn Rand-quotin', dope smokin', wife swappin', gun totin' Libertarian.

IMO it's much more likely that Bennett tilted the race to Rossi for the first two recounts.

Hey, at least there's one way for a Libertarian to hold an elected office. Getting elected just isn't an option.

Republican Congressman Ron Paul, who was the Libertarian presidential candidate in 1988, received 100% of the vote in the Texas 14th Congressional district this November 2.

William F. Buckley is advocating drug legalizaion and there is no military draft nor is there likely to be one. It's a more libertarian (small "l") country than it was when John Hospers first ran for president in 1972.

Patience! Rome wasn't burnt in a day, after all!
