It's odd that 'sort of' libertarians, like Ron Paul or LaRouche, always end up in the Republican party rather than the libertarian party. Interesting fact, did you know that in the late 70's and 80's Lyndon LaRouche had the largest private intelligence agency in the world. Let us never forget that the nuts are on both sides of the aisle. |
Don't be confused by the above. Lyndon LaRouche was NEVER a libertarian.
He was NEVER a libertarian candidate for any office, never a member of any libertarian group, never a member of any Libertarian Party organization at any level, never even a subscriber to any libertarian publication.
Likewise, Lyndon LaRouche was never a Republican of any kind.
Ideologically, Lyndon LaRouche was a socialist. He was ALWAYS a member of the Democratic Party. He ran repeatedly as a candidate for president in the Democrat primaries. His supporters managed to win some Democratic primaries for lower offices and take over some local Democratic committies and organizations. In each election cycle, after he failed to win the Democratic nomination for president, he continued on to run as an independent democrat, or as a socialist of one kind or another. At one time he founded a kind of socialist Labor party to campaign under, but he always fit with the Dems. |
