In 1991 Frank Zappa considered running for the President of the U.S. in 1992 as an independent, but his illness prevented him from pursuing that further.[1]

Libertarianism

The Libertarian Party is an American political party. They approached Zappa in 1988 about seeking their presidential nomination. Zappa decided that while he agreed with them on some issues, he could not endorse their entire platform, so he declined. Zappa said,

"I can't really stand up and support your platform whole heartedly because some the stuff you have in here is either wrong or stupid. And, in order for me to be a candidate for your party, would they, in fact, nominate me if I couldn't be an ideologue and go the whole 9 yards." And, he said it was doubtful they would support you at the convention if you didn't just spew the whole thing. And I said; "Well, I'm not your bot. Thanks a lot. Goodbye." [2]
