The Party is a joke, and that's why I left it in 2005.  They are nothing more than a social club of do-nothings and those who meant well but will soon burn out and continue on a different path because the Libertarian Party doesn't care about winning elections.  Michael Badnarik was the last decent candidate the Party had.  After that, it's been a procession of frauds and the clueless gallery of naive newbies who nominated them somehow.

The libertarian philosophy endures and thrives DESPITE the Libertarian Party, not BECAUSE of it.  As long as idiots continue denying that Ron Paul as a Republican was more libertarian than "Libertarian" Gary Johnson and his fraud sidekick, the LP will continue to underperform into pariah insignificance.

So, what about you--have YOU put YOUR name on a ballot and actually walked the talk, or do you seriously think that only having some silly Party "title" is all you need to make yourself feel like you're doing something productive for liberty?
