I figured you were using that convention, and picked "Libertarian." I don't consider the Libertarian Party to be libertarian or have much to do with libertarianism; I consider them to be states' rights conservatives, a position at best tangentially related to libertarianism and at worst flatly contradictory to it. It's clear, for example, that Ron Paul's advocacy of giving the separate states the power to form their own policies on abortion, without federal Constitutional oversight, not only flatly violates Articles III and VI of the Constitution and section 1 of the XIVth Amendment, but is a stalking horse for taking away the right to abortion, one state at a time.
