> I remember when the GOP picked McCain, the Libertarian party sent the GOP a funeral wreath. How fitting.....

The Libertarian Party has been the death of many a Republican candidate, and the lifesaver of many an ultra-left wing RAT. If not for the LP candidate in Florida 2000, there would never have even been a recount.

I have a real problem with a party that opposes a candidate with whom they agree 80-90% to elect a candidate with whom they disagree 80-90%. A shameful legacy.

I’m not sure what candidate you are speaking of.

McCain is, as of 2006, only 65% conservative, according to the ACU.

I have at least 35% to hate about the guy.

If you're talking about McCain and you agree with him 80%-90% of the time then you need to recheck your conservative credentials. Note that the ACU doesn't agree with McCain 80%-90% of the time.

Oh please, you complain about the LP candidate but ignore the Green Candidate took far more votes from Al Gore than from Harry Brown took from Bush. Considering how far left Bush has gone on nation building, spending, etc why do you think the LP is probably going to do better this year than in the past? And McCain is going to be worse than Bush. At least with Bush you knew in 2004 you'd get conservative USSC justices. The RP is moving closer and closer to just being like Democrats were 5 years ago and Democrats are just becoming further Marxist. I'm done voting for RINO Republicans.
