The LP pretty much lost me when they embraced pacifism instead of non-initiation of force.
I will so as well,
I usually vote individual GOP candidates until I get to the local judges. In So. Texas, the dems run unopposed except for the LP candidates. I always vote for the LP at the local level, even though I consider myself an "ex" LP.
I left a while back when I moved here from New Mexico. My best friend is still active in LP but he is voting for "W".

Me too. The LP seems to be going the way of the ACLU. Started out as a good idea but lost it's way. If the Democratic party had any sense it would agree with Bush's foreign policy and go with a Libertarian domestic policy. That might begin to happen if Kerry and the Dems loose convincingly.
I wasn't aware of that. Are you saying the Libertarian will not strike first when he knows a fist is coming at his face? Will a Libertarian shoot first if someone points a loaded pistol at him and knows they are going to pull the trigger?
