Ron Paul Campaign’s Effect on the Libertarian Party

Many in the Libertarian Party have attacked the Ron Paul campaign for the “negative impact” on the Libertarian Party.

But the Washington Times reports that the national Libertarian Party has had an 18 percent membership surge since January, according to executive director Shane Cory.  Neither Cory nor the Washington Times offers to suggest this may be due to the impact of the Paul campaign, but no other real reason is given.

    As the author of the article, I am quite disappointed that it is being described as an attack on Ron Paul. It asks hard questions about what the results of the Paul campaign will be, but a plain reading of the article will show that by asking these questions I desire the best possible long term results. I am happy to find this website however. By making the explicit connection between Ron Paul and libertarianism, this website is a positive example of the kind of Ron Paul activism I called for in the article. Thank you for that!
