Actually, I'd describe them as more Anarchist-type Escapist Ayn Rand followers. They are literally attempting to create a "Gult's Gulch" way up in the Mountains of Western Montana.
They all call themselves "Libertarians" and are closely affiliated with Montana Libertarian Party Chairman Mike Fellows in nearby Missoula. But I'd say they're a bit beyond Libertarian, well into the Hardcore Libertarian category. The one of the bunch who has been elected to the City Council was elected under the Republican ballot, so technically he's a Republican. One cannot get elected in Granite County running on any other ticket. And it should also be noted that the Secretary of the Libertarian Party of Montana, a close friend of LP State Chair and 2006 LP statewide Congressional candidate Mike Fellows is a currently elected Republican State Senator. --- In [email protected], "Paul" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Make up your mind.
