Alaska Libertarian Party Chairman Scott Kohlhaas told the Anchorage Daily News that talks about a Murkowski bid are ongoing, despite the executive committee’s vote last month.

...I guess the Alaskan “sore looser laws” don’t apply to Rinos

Probably with a great deal of emphasis on the "bid" part.

I swear....the Libertarians are no better than the RAT party, with the possible exception that the RATs are true to what they are.

I wish the Libertarians would take all of our RINOs.

I guess the Libertarian party wants to lose its credibility or commit suicide.

RINO’s are the worst possible snakes to any type of conservative agenda. I’m with Demint - give me 30 staunch conservatives vrs a majority (R) with those bastards in.

If they promise to legalize recreational drug use.

Well, sticking to their principles hasn’t gotten the Libertarians anywhere. I guess whoredom is as logical a next step to try as any.

What credibility?

Proof that "Libertarians" have no principles whatsoever--they are just oppositional juvenile delinquents who like to throw a monkeywrench into the works for the hell of it..

My thoughts, too. Why would any real libertarian want to be associated with a big government liberal. Because that's what RINOs are.

Why would the Libertarian Party want a RINO? They are completely opposed to every thing they believe.

Libertarians may compete with Republicans for votes, but I really don’t think they should compete for the “stupid party” moniker. Then again, who knows. A Murkowski ticket might cause Libertarian voters to file protest votes for the Republican nominee.

They both love abortions and open borders.

Is she even a libertarian? I know there was a report on how Alaska got a lot of pork, and I dont remember her speaking out against that sort of thing.

Capital ‘L’ Libertarians, for sure. Lower-case ‘l’ libertarians are within the GOP, fighting the RINO Establishment.

Libertarians might as well call themselves Socialists.
