It's a political Party, not a League of Starry-eyed ideologues. I agree. What has 30 years of pigheadedness gotten the Libertarian Party? One state senator in Alaska in the mid-1970's?
If the Libertarians had attached themselves to one of the major parties, they would wield as much political party as any other faction. As it is, both parties can ignore them.
All political parties are coalitions of some kind. Just be glad Specter's in your coalition and not the other one.

Those third parties aren't going to amount to anything. They keep boasting every 4 years they're around, but they run the same set of morons every 4 years. It's just like Ralph Nader, he just doesn't have the unction to just go away.

But it seems Conservatives are being ignored as much as Libertarians even though they tried to attach themselves to the Republicans Party.
