LP to GOP during CPAC… “we feel sorry for you”
February 8, 2008
The Libertarian Party blistered the Republican Party with a gift and press release stating that limited government ideas within the GOP have died.
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. The wreath was hand-delivered to the D.C. offices of the Republican National Committee. “We simply felt the need to express our heartfelt sympathy for the Republican Party as they undergo this tough time within their party,” says Libertarian Party National Media Coordinator Andrew Davis, who delivered the wreath.
“Given that it has become readily apparent that Senator McCain will soon be the presidential nominee for the Republican Party,” reads a card that accompanied the wreath addressed to RNC Chairman Mike Duncan, “we, the staff of the Libertarian National Committee, send our condolences to you upon the death of small-government principles within the GOP.”
It might be premature to say as much, but the point the LP makes is a good one. The patient is surely in need of some drastic intervention, and hopefully there are steps that we can all take in that regard.
