The LP was started in Colorado 31 years ago and apparently reached it's zenith with the successful takeover of the Leadville City Council. First order of business? "Hey DUDE! Roll one up and let's go climb a mountain!"
The most famous libertarian is Ron Paul, and he has been a Republican for some time now. I get his cookbook. I am a $upporter of his. But Harry Browne? LP needs to put him out to pasture. Why wait for the third strike?
They have some good ideas. Pro-Second Amendment, anti-tax, favor smaller gov. etc. But their ability to convince others is sorely lacking. Perhaps the liberty Caucus inside the Republican Party is the way to go? You know, take over the Republican P. from within? Hell, it worked for the Communists. I mean the look what they have done to the once proud Democrat Party!
The Libertarian Party is the place where the people went who got tired of waiting for that to happen. Most would take it either way, or any way for that matter. Freedom is what these people want, not power.
The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.
Since Goldwater, conservatives have been "just one election away" from taking over the GOP. We've been told over and over to stick with the Party and take it over from the inside. Just support this one more leftist and next election surely a conservative will take over.
And the GOP continues to go to the left.
What has it been? Almost 40 years? We still are no closer to taking over the GOP. It's insane to keep on trying.
