first of all, there’s not really any such thing as a coherent libertarian party, so it’s pretty hard to say.
there is a fairly large number of sanctimonious blowhards that always seem to be telling us that they told us so, although there’s no record of them ever telling us anything beforehand. and they all seem to live in al gore’s innerwebz (never met one in person. not one)
I think it’s possible that the entire swirl of supercilious crap that we generally refer to as “libertarians” is a moderately sized army of web bots, because you can’t swing your arm online without whacking four or five. it’s weird.
there certainly aren’t any libertarian office holders that have actually been elected to any office worth having. the whole thing just looks suspicious to me.
I hope they will continue to move left and divide the democrats. Here in Virginia the libertine party could be counted on to peel a few points away from conservatives to the benefit of democrats.
Of course Weld the alcoholic was chosen.
Only Weld was on Weiner’s laptop.
Unfortunately for them, those espousing a libertarian philosophy share the same name with the silly and largely useless LP.
The LP, in the 45 plus years of its existence has failed to elect anyone beyond a few state and local officials. Yeah, a lot of that has to do with an orchestrated effort by the uniparty to frustrate any potential opposition. But still. They couldn’t elect even one member of congress in that time?
This party was started as a joke and no one knows for sure what the joke is.
I used to umpire local HS baseball and one time at Stitzel field in Poughkeesie NY where there is a large bleacher behind home plate, there was a fellow who was heckling me on every ball and strike. I finally turned and shouted up to him, “ maybe I should come up there and call balls and strikes.”
