During the 1970s and '80s, Rothbard was active in the [[Libertarian Party]]. He was frequently involved in the party's internal politics: from 1978 to 1983, he was associated with the Libertarian Party [[Radical Caucus]], allying himself with [[Justin Raimondo]], and [[Bill Evers]] and opposing the "low tax liberalism" espoused by 1980 presidential candidate [[Ed Clark]] and [[Cato Institute]] President [[Ed Crane|Edward H Crane III]]. He split with the Radical Caucus at the 1983 national convention, and aligned himself with what he called the "rightwing populist" wing of the party, notably [[Ron Paul]], who ran for President on the LP ticket [[1988]]. In 1989, Rothbard left the Libertarian Party and began building bridges to the post-Cold War right. He was the founding president of the conservative-libertarian John Randolph Club and supported the presidential campaign of [[Pat Buchanan]] in 1992. However, prior to his death in Manhattan of a heart attack, Rothbard had become disillusioned with the Buchanan movement. | During the 1970s and '80s, Rothbard was active in the [[Libertarian Party]].
