On September 23rd, the Libertarian Party had a press release that begins:
"WASHINGTON - Like abused spouses who keep returning to their aggressors, gay voters keep handing their votes to the Democrats who abuse them.
The Libertarian Party (LP) wants to break this self-destructive behavior and offers LGBT voters a better alternative.
LP Chairman Mark Hinkle said, 'Exit polls indicate that Democrats get over 70% of LGBT votes in federal elections. Those voters must really love the Democrats' rhetoric, because they certainly aren't seeing any action.' " (full text at link)
This coming weekend, a friend has been invited to meet with the head of the party about this issue, and is actively seeking feedback to take into the meeting.
If you want to leave an opinion here, or send one in a PM, I will forward them to him to include in his meeting notes.

You start with the assumption that I'm an idiot?

Posted: 10/4/10 at 11:06amYeah...they pretty much turned me off from the first sentence. I don't agree with most of their positions anyway.

Posted: 10/4/10 at 11:07amBecause the gay vote is really gonna swing an election in the Libertarian's favor?

Posted: 10/4/10 at 1:30pmMy message for libertarians is the same as my message for communists: what sounds good in a classroom (or on a bumper sticker) doesn't necessarily work out well in life. That said, if we want to give them there own country...I don't know, let's call it 'Texas', where there are no schools, no roads, no social security, no medicare, no public transportation, etc, that would be OK with me.

The Libertarians are worse than the Democrats and Republicans combined.
The are a party completely devoid of any realpolitik.
