I have now heard several times over the last week or so that the founders of
the LP never really expected the LP to be a "political party," and that the
fundamental purpose in forming the party was to educate the public in matters
of liberty.
First, isn't that what CATO, Reason, Heartland and several others do?
Second, if indeed the purpose of the party founders was not political why on
earth did they form a political party? They could have formed a PAC, or a
think tank, or an interest group like the ACLU.
Third, they DID form a political party. Why should anybody be surprised if
its members want it to act like one?
