They come along with something like this:

RUN AGAINST HILLARY
So how does the essential antithesis of the communist left justify asking a communist leftie to run on their ticket? Well, they don’t, really. The closest we get is this:
He has also just issued an ‘open invitation’ to activist Cindy Sheehan, a mother whose son died in the war last year, to consider running as a peace candidate against Hillary Clinton in the 2006 U.S. Senate race.
Ah. So the NY LP is going to cease being the LP and be the peacenik party? Where do they think they are, Vermont?
But then the release goes on and we find out what a nitwit this Clifton moron is:
He admires Reagan’s decision to pullout of Lebanon following the suicide bombing of the Marine barracks in 1983, saying “the episode teaches us there are responsible methods to respond to terrorism without escalating intervention.
I see. So this moron does not believe we have a right to defend ourselves. And that was Reagan’s worst decision, btw. However, this one little passage demonstrates that the rest of the leftist canned mistruths are just there for effect.
Oh well. I don’t live in New York, and even if I did, the chances that I’d vote LP are very slim indeed.
And this is why liberaltarian is such a useful, and accurate, label.
