Another Bill Weld “Libertarian”.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL

Never expected the Libertarian party to attract these types. I think it’s just cause they have built in organization and ballot access and a brand name.

The true believer Ron Paul types can’t be happy.

Yeah, its probably because the Losertarian Party gets on the ballot in all 50 states and runs more candidates than any other third party. That fact makes it very attractive to any washed up, out-of-office politician who is trying to get on the ballot as a third party candidate. The weird thing is the Losertarian Party members themselves are so hardcore on key issues that there ISN'T any such thing as a "moderate Libertarian" (if there was, a guy like Jesse Ventura would have have found a home as a Libertarian instead of under the Reform Party label). Yet, at their annual presidential conventions they keep nominating goofball traitors who were NEVER "Libertarian" in the past and are only using the party for ballot access. I think the last ACTUAL Libertarian they ran was Harry Browne. He ran a crappy campaign (which the LP members bizarrely acted like it was a very successful campaign) but at least we knew where he stood.

They lost all credibility for me when Gary Johnson picked big government RINO Bill Weld as his "Libertarian" running mate. Weld is as far from libertarian as it gets.

At this point, running The Missing Linc as a "libertarian" would just be on par for them. I do find it funny when traitors like Bob Barr flip-flop 180 degrees on EVERY issue (the ONLY thing Republican Bob Barr and Losertarian Bob Barr had in common was being pro-gun rights) and put on a dog and pony show to get the LP nomination, then swiftly renounce all their newfound "libertarian" beliefs after they lose.

Someone said the reason why LINOs keep getting nominated for President is some odd quark in the party's nomination process, where you can win a small minority of the delegates but get more votes than anyone else because "None of the Above" is sucking all the support away. Probably a handful of idiots just want to run someone with "name ID" and "star power". The LP should seriously rethink that strategy.
