You’re a bunch of Johnny come lately libertarians.
There aren’t enough of you to make an electoral difference. But there are enough of you to help get liberals into office. I like republicans with a chance to get elected, with great administrative skills rather than simply a message. Ron Paul is a voice and a rallying position. But not a skilled administrator, he’s an ineffective legislator.

Mitt Romney has a lot of libertarian views. So do others. Why don’t you libertarians sift through what each Repulican believes in and has positions on that are nearest your pure and theorectical libertarianisms and start challenging Republican candidates on their issues. Then in an organized way support the best of the top 2 or 3 republicans. If you stay seperate from republicans you’ll just be an adversary that helps to get Democrates elected–a counter productive result to your priciples. You could sellect your “best republican choice” on the Wednesday before the election. Do it uniformly each election after evaluating each candidate. Over time you’d get some appreciation, more likeminded attention, respect, and increase your numbers. In a few decades, you might be a stronger third party who is regularly courted by candidates. Eventually the wackiness that is part of your image would vanish.

Right now, I’m for a guy with real talent and abilities at fixing messes. That’s Mitt Romney, head and shoulders over any combination of 3 individuals running or not running for POTUS. He even has creativity in a Newt G way too.
