Quote:I'd really consider going library libertarian if they weren't so pro laissez faire on economic issues... oh and if they'd just accept that the common good requires a strong central government.


Those two issues I think hurt libertarians the left. The anti authoritarian positions on drugs, war, and women's rights hurts them on the right...


In my opinion

 

I made the jump during GWs second presidency. As I see it, I agree with enough of Johnson's views to grossly counter where we might not align perfectly. If I'm being pushed by the system to vote for the lesser of two evils because I believe in fiscal responsibility (and opportunity) and am vehemently opposed to government attempting to legislate morality (under the ominous cloak of religion)...I'll take door number 3 and vote for Johnson...again...because I'm inherently a malcontent.
