That makes them uniquely pure libertarian party representatives.

Because libertarianism as praciced by people forming it into a political organization (as opposed to libertarianism the ideology) has always been filled with so called leaders yanking it very sharply to the Left. Certainly as far back as Ayn Rand.

No, it does not. The Party actually has articulated it's stand on issues. The Koch Brothers are attempting to co-opt the party's stand on those issues.

Absolute nonsense.

Incidentally, Rand hated Libertarians. She was never a part of Libertarianism. While many of her ideas were appropriated by the Party, Rand was never a part of the party. Her philosophy of Objectivism, is in many ways anathema to Libertarianism.

Nice try though.
