Eliminate the special interests created by both the Liberals and the Conservatives.
Ensure the voices of the poulation are heard over the screeching of the two parties?
Follow innovative leadership into the Libertarian Party with the intent of creating a successful third party that forces change in the way the government taxes, spends and creates budgets?
Particularly for the implementation of a flat tax, substantial reduction in federal agencies while working to strengthen the military?

Even if I agreed with the Libertarian Party's platform, I would not switch political parties. The reason is because that in many primary elections, voters are only allowed to vote for those in their party. I feel my vote is going to better use if I use it between a hotly contested Democratic or Republican seat than against an uncontested seat. Also, it is relatively well-know that 3rd party candidates are rarely elected. I would rather vote for the major party that at least has a chance of winning than a party who does not, even if I completely agree with it.

Already there but still vote for the best person on a close race. Sadly most of us are guilty of not voting Lib straight ticket to help increase our percentages. Yeah Wyoming. They got enough votes so that Libertarians are now considered a major party and do not have to jump thru hoops to get on the ballots.

No thanks - I'll stick with the republicans.
Libertarian Party is an American political party founded in 1971.
Listed platform on wikipedia.............
Complete separation of state and economics,
privatization of Social Security and welfare (for both individuals and companies),
elimination of business regulation, abolition of labor regulations such as the minimum wage and the cessation of government interference in foreign trade.
Minimal government bureaucracy -responsibilities should be limited to the protection of individual rights from the initiation of force and fraud.
Abolition of laws against victimless crimes
Opposition to conscription

While I consider myself a Libertarian, I will continue to vote (usually republican) for someone from a major party until I feel that a third party or Libertarian has a resonable chance of winning.

I like all of that. I'm a fiscal conservative but I'm a social liberal, is that acceptable in the Libertarian Party? I agree with many of the things liberterians believe on and will like to see them become a major party.

Well I think your question is very interesting. I do believe that now and has been for decades; that both Republican and Democratic Parties are so out of touch with the country's needs and its people. Perhaps we do need a third party to emerge and be the voice of the moderates in this country.

The libertarian party is the only party who speaks the truth , that's why they can never win . The public doesn't want to hear the truth .

people like "Rorshach4u" are exactly why the Libertarian party will never win, they won't support the Libertarians until they can win elections and the Libertarian party can't win elections if people don't support it...
