I think New York state has one too.

My point is that libertarians don't have to have their own parties. In fact the difference between libertarians and conservatives (Goldwater and Reagan, not neocon, or theocons) are very small. The republican parties ever expanding government is a real danger, if the conservatives and libertarians get together and make a third party it would effectively move the republicans to a minority party.

The republican party is made up of different factions, which have a modest amount in common with each other. The problem is the national party isn't interested in getting done what they all have in common.

I don't know. Given the amount of animosity here against (L)ibertarians in several areas, I don't see that the GOP really represents them these days. Nor does it represent the right end of the conservative spectrum very well.

The organized GOP, it seems to me, is pretty centrist these days, for whatever that's worth.

"if the conservatives and libertarians get together and make a third party it would effectively move the republicans to a minority party."

When the Libertarian platform is just fine with queer marriage, sex with children,abortion, legal drugs etc, just how exactly do you think they will team with conservatives and take over the world?
