I think this gets to the meat of the topic. Is the LP a broad based political party with a Libertarian philosophy, or is it only appropriate for those who adhere scrupulously to the NAP? Who defines when a position strays from the NAP? If the LP is only for the most hard core, where do all the Libertarian leaning voters and candidates go who are not approved by the hard core set? Does this mean we need another 3rd party? ForumWebSiteAt http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Libertarian Yahoo!
