No more of an oxymoron than "Libertarian Libertarian Party member." Which essentially means, I think I'm a member of a political party, but I support losing elections, in fact, losing as many as we possibly can. Despite the fact that the definition of political party in the United States is TO WIN ELECTIONS.
Why not the "Libertarian Association," or the "Libertarian Group?" Why does the LP - a political party dedicated to losing elections (let's see now 35 years and counting and STILL not a single US Congressmen ever elected by the LP), INSIST on using the word "Party" in their name? --- In Libertarian@yahoogroups.com, "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Libertarian Republican?
