HuffPo on the Republican Party

Over at Huffington Post, Lee Stranahan suggests- with a lot of support in the comment thread- that Ron Paul republicans or libertarians take over the crippled GOP.

But look how things have changed. McCain’s psuedo-maverick-ism tore the Republicans a gaping new one after they collectively rejected Ron Paul; the only candidate with ideas for real, actual change…such as ending the Iraq War.

The beauty of the current GOP anarchy is that it may present the perfect chance for the anarachists to take over the establishment. Or the anarcho-capitalists or limited government small L libertarians and or whatever y’all can agree on. (And good luck on that — agreement isn’t what libertarians do well.)

The party is ripe for the taking. Ripe, I say!

It’s a fun read so get on over there and witness a little rare libertarian love but don’t expect any libertarians to actively participate in taking over the GOP. If we’re lucky as a party, all the LP reformers might now go home to work within their own party. Hopefully they do it before the LP gets sucked into assuming debt for a campaign that barely mentioned the L word.
