Editorial: The Disgrace of the Party [Libertarian]
Third Party Watch ^ | October 28, 2024 | George Phillies

Posted on 10/28/2024 1:50:31 PM PDT by Angelino97

Leader of the Mises Caucus, paid by the LNC, Michael Heise has announced that he will be voting for Donald Trump. He did this on an obscure media site. National Chair Angela McArdle then forwarded Haise’s endorsement … to her decidedly not obscure X.com account.

Behold the disgraceful conduct of the National Committee, sending endorsements of the Republican candidate to all and sundry.

The Republican Party accepts the votes of all weirdos. Libertarian, Log Cabin Repubs and the like.

What did they think was going to happen after they sabotaged the Libertarian Party convention to nominate a gay, open border, Covidian pedophile?

There were lots of good candidates who would have received almost all of the Libertarian votes in the general but the party insiders decided they would rather kill the party than allow the Mises Caucus to get another win.

The Libertarian Party obviously thought they were the Libertine Party

Exactly—the Trump team caught a break with this.

It might have affected the outcome of a state or two.

The libertarians self-destructed.

“”””nominate a gay, open border, Covidian pedophile”””””

If you would learn about the party then you would see that two of those are a part of its platform and while not formally pro-pedophile they refuse to take a stand against it.

The point of political parties is to elect candidates, not to make esoteric statements. High time for the LP to fold their tent and rejoin the real world.

Don’t you guys ever look at their party goals and purpose?

Libertarians are irrelevant anyway. They’re mostly disenchanted Republicans who think hookers, porn, all drugs, and organ sales should be legal.

Was at a Libertarian-sponsored RKBA rally at the UN many years ago - they ended up turning it into a pro-legalize pot rally.

They just can't help themselves.

I'm just fine with this news. The 2020 GA results (below) really torqued my jaw. Hope it helps this time.

I know quite a bit about the party. I know that there has been an internal civil war going on for some time now.

To say that the Libertarian party is pro gay or open border is the same thing as saying the Republican party is pro “never ending regime change war”.

There are elements in the party that may be but there is also a sizable, rational section of the party who isn’t.

LOL, that is ridiculous, it is their official party platform, open borders, gay, trans, drugs, weak military, the whole thing, it is why their party exists and it has always had the same party goals since their beginning.

The Libertarian Party is the same today as at its beginning, they won’t even take a stand against pedophilia although as yet they haven’t added it to their platform.

This is the party position on issues.

Throw open the borders completely; only a rare individual (terrorist, disease carrier etc.) can be kept from freedom of movement through “political boundaries”, eliminate the Border Patrol and INS.

Homosexuals; total freedom in the military, gay marriage, adoption, child custody and everything else.

Abortion; zero restrictions or impediments full 9 months.

Pornography; no restraint, no restrictions.

Drugs; Meth, Heroin, Crack, and anything new that science and marketers can come up with, zero restrictions.

Advertising those drugs, prostitution, and pornography; zero restrictions.

Military Strength; minimal capabilities.
