There is no political party that supports the Constitution unless it’s the Constitution Party, which I haven’t looked into. Tiny little 3rd parties that always lose aren’t useful.

I don’t see any easy or quick solution. I wish I did.

What people assume they know about libertarians is a sick joke and a sad commentary on the political situation in our country. I'll give you "tiny little third party", how's this!?

The Libertarian Party, in existence for over forty years, has approximately 325,807 members with only 235,500 registered voters as of 2008.

In the most recent Presidential election, the Libertarian Candidate received just under one percent of the vote. The Libertarian Party has no Representatives in the House and no Senators, plus they hold no Governorships or any other statewide elected positions. In the individual State Legislatures, the LP does not control any upper house or lower house seats at all.

There are approximately 55 million registered Republicans and a myriad number of elected or appointed Republicans currently serving at every level of government in every state.

Libertarians, large or small "l" do not have, nor have they ever had, any part in the problems our nation faces currently. If libertarians had any political credence at all, there would be at least one libertarian elected in a national or statewide office today, but there isn't!

The LP candidates often act as spoilers to allow Dems to win. In recent Congressional elections there were two or even three elections in which the LP candidates got 3 or 4% of the vote, thus allowing the Dem candidate to win.

The LP party platform is the ultra kook anarchy fringe of the left. It’s really simple.
