"Following a solid McCain victory in the Super Tuesday primaries, the Libertarian Party has sent Republican headquarters a funeral wreath marking the death of limited-government values within the Republican Party."

Funny, the only time anyone pays attention to the libertarians is when they do silly stunts like this, or when they run as Republicans.

If only they could get a single Libertarian elected to any office, they might be in the position to gloat.

Bernie Saunders did it for the Socialists in VT. Can't the Libertarians pull it off somewhere in the West?

[untrained skeptic]

The problem with the Libertarian Party isn't libertarians in general. It's the conspiracy theory nuts within the party that can't base their views on reality, but instead buy into stories that are a bunch of what-ifs strung together without real evidence.

Every party is going to have some of those, and I doubt they are even in the majority in the Libertarian Party, but the party is going to need a higher percentage of rational people before it will get taken seriously.

Maybe that will happen since the Republican Party keeps failing what used to be its base over and over again.

If the party had the support of true conservatives, patriots, Constitutionalists and those who remember the principles Reagan exuded, they'd get more than a few people elected.

If McCain does not pick a VP candidate who I can accept, I probably WILL vote Libertarian for the first time in my life. The reason the Libertarians have had such difficulty getting candidates elected is that the GOP stood in many respects for the same things they did. With McCain, however, I think that is no longer true.

Sending a wreath and a note of condolence about the death of small government principles in the Republican party is not "gloating."

I think the city government of Leadville, Colorado was or is mostly Libertarian.
