Ron Paul’s foundation of his whole presidential run is based on a lie when he is a Libertarian and running as a Republican.

I don't understand why you would say such a thing. I am a libertarian who votes Republican and gives money to Republicans (individual candidates, never the party). Are you saying that I am living a lie? Do you want me to stop doing so? Apparently so, when you say that a libertarian cannot run as a Republican.

Libertarianism is a political philosophy. It used to be the predominant philosophy of the Republican Party.

There is a Libertarian Party, but not all libertarians are party members. The Libertarian Party was started when President Nixon instituted wage and price controls.

You seem to want all libertarians to abandon the Republicans and only work within the Libertarian Party. You may get your wish.

“You seem to want all libertarians to abandon the Republicans and only work within the Libertarian Party. “

Then after losing for another 20 years, maybe they will come to their senses.
