I have nothing personal against former House member Justin Amash and am not questioning his libertarianism, but I wish libertarians would stop describing him as the only LP member to hold national office. He did not run as a libertarian and was not elected as a libertarian. He was a Republican who changed his party affiliation to independent and then to Libertarian, but then declined to run for another term.
Come to think about it, these same libertarians rarely had a good thing to say about Ron Paul when he was the only real libertarian in Congress for many years.
