I used to be active in the Libertarian Party. I gave that up over 20 years ago because the Party came to believe they needed to field candidates for every office possible, even if their candidates were laughing-stock fools. Very often there were more fools running for office than anything. What's more, they were totally unrealistic about the cost of mounting a real campaign. Rather than waste my time and money, I devoted myself to studying the philosophy of liberty so that if the opportunity arose to support a good liberty candidate, or if I chose to become one myself, I'd have some good depth.

So far, I've not felt the desire to become a candidate, and I've found few candidates to support. The Dr.(s) Paul are the only candidates I'm aware of that were worthy of time, effort, or money. No one else on my ballot made any sense, Libertarian or not.

If this year is like the past, I'll be a proud and principled non-voter.

Maybe you should give it another chance. Ron Paul has woken up a lot of people. And many Ron Paul supporters are now looking toward the LP since Rand is out. Why blame the candidates for the party's past issues? John McAfee just joined. I'm giving the new blood a chance.

I used to contribute money to the libertarian party many years ago. Then they were faced with a decision: use the contributions to promote libertarian candidates or buy themselves fancy new digs in Washington DC. Fancy new offices in DC it is!!

With friends like the libertarian party, who needs enemies?

McAfee messaged me back that he couldn't attend but sent in a video for them to play. Did anyone see them play it?

Libertarian debate--awful distorted audio; check.

I'm a libertarian and I wouldn't vote for any of those losers, but I especially wouldn't vote for bloviating Doctor Whatsisname. The one who immediately corrected one of the questioners that referred to him as Mr. Whatsisname. He reminded me too much of femdem Barbara Boxer who insisted on being called senator Boxer (I worked so hard for that title!). They're both revolting persons of privilege and insist that others recognize their phony status.

Where was John McAfee? That was no debate without him.
