Organization

The Resume

    (December 11, 1971- )
    Formed by David Nolan
    Platform is individual liberty
    Libertarian presidential candidates were John Hospers (1972), Roger MacBride (1976), Ed Clark (1980), David Bergland (1984), Ron Paul (1988), Andre Marrau (1992), Harry Browne (1996, 2000) and Michael Badnarik (2004)

Why Libertarian Party might be annoying:

    They claim to be the largest third party in the US, a claim many have disputed.
    No libertarian presidential candidate has ever received over 1,00,000 votes.
    They probably won't ever win a US presidential election.
    In their first presidential election they were only on the ballot in 2 states and received less than 3,000 votes (1972).
    Their most successful election only got them one percent of the vote (1980).
    Most members support the legalization of drugs.
    Instead of ranging their political beliefs between the left and right, they rank political beliefs on the self-made, more complex Nolan Chart.
    By voting for them, you're basically throwing your vote away.
    The average percent of votes that go to Libertarian candidates is 0.32.
    They are greatly influenced by Ayn Rand's philosophy, despite the fact that Rand said that she does not support the libertarian movement.

Why Libertarian Party might not be annoying:

    Howard Stern sought the governorship of New York as a Libertarian.
    It favors laissez-faire.
    They were the first third party to get on the ballot in all 50 states since the Socialists in 1916.
    Their official logo is a stylized Statue of Liberty.
    It gives voters another option (sort of).
    Famous Libertarians include Kurt Russell, Trey Parker, and Dean Cameron.
