Hopefully other NY third parties do the same. It’s about time that they started to stop cross-endorsing. Hopefully other NY third parties do the same.

I'm curious to hear how libertarian the Independence Party is. For instance are you guys just against *taking* special interest money, or are you seeking to address the *cause* of it -- namely government that is too big and powerful and has too many favors to give out, which attracts special interest lobbyists like honey attracts flies? Do you have a plan to keep your party from succumbing over time to the temptation to pander to the voters in order to get people elected? The Libertarian Party is in crisis right now because of a gradual long-term trend away from ideology that I attribute in large part to too much emphasis on winning elections. This has led to some members wanting to downplay the party's principle and ideas, and do what it takes to win. I know Jesse Ventura was fairly libertarian.
