I am speaking specifically about the Libertarian Party (of Texas), who had a deliberate plan to destroy good pro-taxpayer conservative Republicans and deliver seats to liberal Democrats in close elections.
Details about their plans were uncovered early in the election cycle:

The Libertarian Party, by pushing candidates in specific races were the Democrats ‘needed help’ to win - DELIVERED SEATS FOR SOCIALISTS.
I dont know how much the Texas Democrats paid the Texas LP to do what they did, or whether this was just stupidity on the part of the LP making a point, but I am beside myself that people on the side of freedom got shilled into supporting the LP, which in the end did nothing but help the Democrats.
Fair enough. I really don't know enough about Texas Libertarians to comment. Sorry, just thought that it was a blanket indictment of all small "l", libertarianism.
