That’s Libertarian Party, NOT Republican Liberty Caucus.

The RLC regularly elects its backed candidates to offices at all levels. There’s hundreds of libertarian Republicans now serving in public office. Complete list at http://www.mainstreamlibertarian.com

And incidentally, my friends in the Libertarian Party occasionally do have some successes. Sara Chambers is a Libertarian and just won for Juneau City Council in Alaska. And the LP just elected a guy named “Firecracker” to the Ocean View School Board in California.

So, they too have some good wins every now and then.

How is it that more libertarians were elected to public offices at all levels this year running as Republicans?

Four libertarians were elected as Governors alone: Palin in AK, Sanford in SC, Crist in FL, and Otter in ID. That’s a record!

At the precise time when the Republican Liberty Caucus (libertarian wing of the GOP) is more organized, has more influence, and has experienced more success than ever before, some libertarians want to throw in the towel?

Ron Paul is a former Libertarian Party Presidential candidate. He is now a Republican Congressman from Texas. Show me please the Democrat version of Ron Paul?
