Libertarian Party internal politics is full of . . . politics. Petty fighting over power and influence, etc.

Think about that. WTF kind of power and influence do you have in the frigging LIBERTARIAN PARTY that you have to have intrigues and power struggles over?

Not to mention the fact that the people who stay LP activists for more than a few years strike me as those unwilling to, or incapable of, following through to the logical conclusions of the philosophy. Not to mention the magnetic attraction of the Party to lonely kooks and one-issue nuts who haven't the foggiest CLUE what "libertarianism" is. There is no end to the hippie pot smokers who call themselves "Libertarians" that are all for government "protecting" the environment, or "regulating" business. And then there is the converse, who completely overlook the incestuous relationship of business and the state. Then there's the socialists in Libertarian clothing (ala Bill Maher) and the neocons in Libertarian clothing (ala Neal Boortz).

Murray Rothbard gave up on the LP decades ago, because quite frankly, most of them just don't "get it", it being actual libertarianism.
