In the end, no matter how you spin it, one aspect is plain face that cannot be disputed.  The LNC, with candidates of its own in the race, passed a resolution asking the candidate of a different political party to seek our nomination.  That is an endorsement of that candidacy.  Therefore, the LNC has endorsed a Republican candidate over Libertarian candidates.  Again, let me reiterate:  this has nothing to do with any specific candidate.  This is about the LNC endorsing Republicans.  

This action by the LNC sets a dangerous precedent.  The LNC is now openly showing support for a candidate of a different political party while the Libertarian Party has LP candidates in the race.  Who the member happens to be is completely irrelevant.  It doesn't matter how "libertarian" people believe a candidate to be.  A case is now being made among Republicans that the LNC should now endorse Rudy Giuliani because of his social liberalism and economic conservatism.  That would be wrong, but the resolution passed today has set that precedent.    A precedent has now been set that affirms that the LNC will support Republican candidates over Libertarian candidates.  For anyone to suggest that the resolution passed by the LNC is anything but an endorsement of a Republican candidate is indefensible and incompetent.  This resolution is a complete endorsement.  You are essentially begging Ron Paul to run as a Libertarian because many Libertarians share his opinions.  Either way you cut it, it's still an obvious endorsement.

The more serious resolution is the second resolution passed in respect to a candidate of a different party.  The second resolution is a slap in the face to people, like myself, who have contributed financially to the Libertarian Party.  The LNC has now made it official that it will use money donated to the Libertarian Party to help Republicans.  The use of BallotBase for Republican volunteers in New Hampshire, paid for the LP members, shows a lack of regard and competence in political matters.  This gross misconduct with our finances, such as giving resources to Republican volunteers which have been paid for by LP members for LP candidates to use, shows a complete lack of fiduciary responsibility.
