Will The Real Libertarian Woman Please Step Forward?

[IanCioffi]

I am beginning to think that certain so called “Libertarian” women who boast the label of “Libertarian” Girl, Chick, etc are really plants by the Republican-Democrat duopoly to undermine the credibility of the Libertarian Party. They are more caricatures than real women, who use their sexuality to gain followers rather than their pseudo-intellect. Their pictures purport them to be call girls not serious journalists or politicos. Their inane opinions and shallow interpretations of government are more of an embarrassment than an asset to the name “Libertarian”.

Furthermore-their “libertarianism” never truly supports or promotes the Libertarian Party and its candidates. They promote the so-called “libertarian” candidates, and officer holders who function as members of the Republican Party. To this accusation, they respond that “Libertarian” is a philosophy. My question is, if that philosophy is so fundamental to who they are, why are they not supporting the party that most fully embraces that philosophy and bears the label as well?

I know neither the Republican party, nor Rand Paul, promote libertarian ideas. But I'm pretty sure the Libertarian party doesn't either, so why cry about it?

Viable solutions are impossible from within the system, because the system is the problem.

The party that gave us Bob Barr as the choice?

I think the word you are looking for is "groupie".

Alternately, nerd bait.

Indeed. So, the whining is starting already with how liberty is only possible if we hold our noses and vote party rather than conscience? Not this gal...

Is membership in the Libertarian Party a prerequisite to calling oneself a libertarian? For that matter, there are "Big L" Libertarians who clearly don't even know the meaning of the word. Look no farther than Bob Barr and Wayne Root for proof of that. :(

Can't be serious... "credibility of the LP"???!!

This is part and parcel of the problem in the LP. I was a sad witness to this for 20 years. It's a circular firing squad. Everyone there wants everyone else there to tow their own line. Why are we attacking our own? Marianne used her appearance for her benefit - good for her! If the LP ever wanted to actually do something instead of just fighting with each other, then maybe they could earn more support.

I can't +Rep this enough. Very succinct and accurate description of the problem.
