At a minimum we need runoff elections.
"The rat party needs to be banned and outlawed. The choice on ballots should be republicans vs libertarians, i.e. a legitimate left/centrist/religious party vs a legitimate laissez faire conservative/capitalist party."
The krazy Kos Kidz believe that Bush, and future "fascist" Republican leaders will in fact ban their dissent. But I wouldn't expect a lover of liberty to deny them the right to participate in politics.
Their views are anti-American and they have no use for this constitution. But they should be given the chance to democratically change or eliminate it. That is, if the will of the majority of the people is against the libertarian founding, there is no need to trap them. But I don't believe we've "moved on." Elections are a great way to repudiate their statism.
Besides, if these krazies didn't have a political outlet, what do they do? Become terrorists?

The Libertarian party has a strong inclination to become extremely left wing. There are influences from radical environmentalist groups who like the elitist tendencies of the Libertarians. With relatively minor modifications the Lib party could become a neo communist party.
Far fetched? Check out the platform. It reeks of demogogery.
