Everyone I work with cares about the twin pillars of making new Libertarians and winning elections.  I have not yet run for public office but my husband is on the ballot this year.  One of us at a time is about all we can handle, and I am heading up a massive historical preservation project of Libertarian Party materials.  I'm looking maybe at 2020 but definitely not until after I am no longer on the Libertarian National Committee.

You might find new ones, but they'll soon grow tired of the lack of results and leave too...and I'm referring to the good ones...the rest are, as we've seen repeatedly, just big talkers.  When I ran as a Libertarian 2 of my 3 races, it's embarrassing how few Libertarians stepped up, relative to how many pay lip service to liberty.

And "making new Libertarians", if you're serious about winning for liberty, should NOT be a concern, by the way.  If you're serious, you'll just do what YOU need to do and, through your actions, will attract supporters who are serious about DOING something too...not just cheap-talking it.  Using the excuse that liberty isn't winning because there aren't enough "Libertarians" is profoundly flawed and naive.  I'm telling you.  Take it from someone WITH experience AND who nearly won MY 3rd of 3 US House races.  I DO know what I'm talking about...because I DID it!

Actually I don't think it particularly productive to tell others how to Liberty.  You do you boo.

But then again, since you have ZERO experience actually DOING something, with YOUR name on the line, you don't know what you're saying.  Just because you're surrounded by lip service doesn't mean you know anything about ideology in action.

You can think what you do is brilliant...like an artist might.  But, like the art critic, watching someone like you spinning your wheels, from my EXTENSIVE experience, is my freedom too.

Your Party is a failure.  If that's the association you wish to convey, then you're a fair target of my condemnation.  The LP is a social club of losers and well-intentioned but naive newbies.

Is it true that the LP turned away Ron Paul as a guest speaker for the next convention?
