In a sense, it fits. Reduction of government, and all. Just like with any party, there's going to be differences among the members on positions. But this seems more like a flavor of the day to me.

The idea of a minimal government is true. But Police/prisons/military/judiciary are some the more universal things that Libertarians agree need to be government. I think she is trying to appeal to the day. Now if she had said get rid of the DEA, well that would be well within what the Libertarians would have wanted in the past as it is seen as a waste of money/infringing on individual freedom (although there is definitely a good argument that hard drugs have a significant cost to society and should not be freely available, which I agree with). Anyway, I considered her before I read the police thing, I am not voting for any candidate who wants less police right now when people are getting crazier.
