I think you’re more or less nailed it - they glom onto us because we’re successful, and they’re not.
The Libertarian Party is a pipe dream, and has been since 1970. It routinely polls in the sub-1% range, and about the only thing it seems to be any good for is throwing very tight races to liberal Democrats and away from conservative Republicans. Fie on it, I say.
Ron Paul, who ran on the LP ticket for President in 1988, I think, similarly failed to have any impact. He runs on the GOP ticket because that way, he can actually get elected.
Interesting, RoPaul has a Tea Party candidate primary challenger. This ought to be fun to watch as the guy who’s trying to hijack the Tea Party might just find his seat hijacked by a Tea Partier!
really I never knew he was being challenged.
you know watching them in the election and they were always texting for him to say he won the debates.
yes right
Then they were dong it again in the straw poll at CPAC.
why?
it’;s not like they are fooling anyone, they’re around 1% usually anyway
