If U.S. Senate candidate Rand Paul were running as a Libertarian,...
StarchildIn point of fact, and embarrassingly for the Libertarian Party, Rand Paul's message sounds more libertarian than that of some high-profile Libertarians I've heard.

Come over to the dark side, Starchild. It's warm, and we all love you.
The Kentucky Libertarian party isn't running anyone against Rand, FYI.
I had heard they legalized medical marijuana in California.
starchild writes "If we [the LP] can't do better than this, we might as well fold our party and join the Ron Paul Republicans."
Is there a time frame for making such a decision to disband the LP? Does Wayne Root being a major spokesman for the LP qualify as a triggering threshold to justify disbanding the LP? If yes, then starchild appears to be calling for disbanding the LP and joining the Ron/Rand Paul caucus of the GOP because it is a simple fact that Root's influence in the party continues to grow. Root is chairman and prime mover of the LNCC which will be a major financial benefactor for Libertarian candidates, and Root will probably be the 2012 Libertarian Presidential nominee.
You are incorrect, Don--WAR is not the Libertarian Party Chairman. Mark Hinkle was elected chairman at the last convention in St. Louis.
ERIC NEWNo, ERIC NEW, I am correct. Wayne Root was recently elected chairman of the LNCC - the Libertarian National Congressional Committee, the federal PAC that was created by the LNC some years ago but is now an independent organization. It's very similar to the relationship between the RNC, RNSC and RNCC. Root is filling its board with his rich buddies, and I suspect they will be putting big money into Libertarian House and Senate races across the country, and into his Presidential run in 2010. (FWIW, Mark Hinkle is chairman of the LNC.)
Replace "2010" with "2012" in the previous post. Ernie - we really need the ability to edit posts!
