Who attacked Libertarianism and left it for dead to die on it's own?

my friend reckons it was consorting with mainstream right-wing that did it, and those who weren't absorbed were disenfranchised hypothetically speaking.

Update:

No, just because you don't like an opinion does not mean it's trying to get a reaction, it's actually a genuine question from observation the ideology been corrupted beyond belief.

Update 2:

The funny thing I never say whether is a tragedy or good thing, and yet people assume trying to get reaction.

    I am one of those who consider himself a Libertarian and voted for Romney...

    Goal last election:

    Get a Libertarian in the White House which would have eliminated Obama from the White House.

    Get a Republican in the White House, which would get Obama out of the White House.

    If Obama wins the White House have a Congress that will slow him down until 2016 when we can get a Constitutional following President that has read and understands the 10th Amendment.

    Johnson could not win so, and the Republican candidate could win...mathematically anyway I had to do what was best for the country and try to get Obama out. As it turns out blocking is still working....Vote in 2016 and vote for freedom, vote Liberty, Vote Libertarian.

    Libertarianism is doing just fine and I think you know that but are just trying to get reactions. That's what's nice about being one-you never get this bored and without anything to talk about since Libertarianism is intelligent.
