http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/politics/2009866967_gop15.html"party insiders now fear that angry rhetoric and conspiracy theories coming from extremists are undermining the GOP." "against the influence of those spreading theories on the Internet, such as the idea that President Obama is ineligible to be president, or that he is a Communist, or that his allies want to set up Nazi-like detention camps for political opponents." "Some are pressuring mainstream GOP organizations, such as the Republican National Committee (RNC), to cut ties with a Web site, WorldNetDaily.com" "hideously embarrassing"

Only new in the fact that the GOP realizes it.

The same could be said for the Democrats.
The Libertarians also have a bit of an image issue, unfortunately.

How is it that libertarians aren't a major player in the system? I've always been amazed at how marginal they (or should I say we) are...

Libertarians are too busy livin' and lettin' live to be an effective political force I guess IR?
We don't need a new party for middle-of-the-roaders... we just need to take the two Parties back from the whackos and extremists.

How is it that libertarians aren't a major player in the system? Too smart to get involved in politics with wussy libs and tight ass conservatives. Would rather spend their time developing the next cure for cancer.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Libertarians aren't whores to corporate America, and as such will never be well-funded enough to get elected at high levels of government.

That and they tend to run along the lines of Bunker Dwellin', Bible Thumpin,' Consipracy Believin' No Common Sense Crackpots. I have one question for Libertarians: How do they propose to defend America with no government?
