Eric This all seems to about the pure verus the none pure.The reality is I am anarcho-capitalist.I would like to work with the pure but they are not showing up to run for office.My goal is to elect Libertarians(LP members and maybe Boston Tea Guys).I am not a big fan of the RLC.So I am going to help the most Libertarian candidate that shows up to run under the Libertarian banner.The free market will weed out the bad candidate. When I have choice of working with you or Harry Browne,I will go with Harry Browne therefor leaving the less pure with less resources. Look I say let everyone run under our banner and let the free market sort it out.
