Eh… If I didn’t dislike his agenda so much that wouldn’t bother me, other than the fact it is our chair, that we gave him, and it would go along way if he kept in mind the constitution he wants to change so bad, is the only reason he has the chair to sit in.[/quote]
So there is not a chance in hell I’d ever vote for Romney for many reasons. Why couldn’t the Repubs pick someone like Johnson? While some of his policies I am lukewarm on I’d be down for voting for him in a second.

I know he doesn’t fit the mold of the party any longer, but I can’t find fault with many of his issue positions.

Obama would have absolutely crushed Johnson. Oh wait…that’s why you wanted him to be the nominee. Ha…got it.[/quote]
No I agree with his positions. He can’t be nominated by the current Republican party he doesn’t court the evangelicals. I don’t mean he should be nominated now that he is the Libertarian nominee. I think the Republicans should adopt a more Libertarian like platform if you like.
I am realistic he would have a hard row to hoe with cutting medicare and social security and defense spending and ya know being actually for limited government and wanting to stay out of all issues of personal choice, but dare to dream.[/quote]
So let me get this right, you wanted Johnson because he would have stayed out of your personal affairs. But you are going to vote for Obama? Someone who has nosed government in between you and your doctor, taking over 1/6th of the economy in the process. Someone who wants to grow government so that it can be even more intrusive than it already is.
You are going to have to explain that to me.

I was living with Johnson repealing national healthcare as one of the issues I am not a fan of in order gain some of the other things. I am completely ok with requiring people to buy their own goddamn insurance. I like that while hes going to cut medicare and social security he’s also pledging to cut the military by 40 percent. He’s also going to restore habeus corpus and end gitmo as it is now. Repeal the patriot act. End the war on drugs. Allow gay marriage. Keep abortion legal.
The better question would be is your commitment to small government enough to overcome your distaste of his views on personal morality. I find that unlikely.

Eh…I’m not a libertarian and I think that when the rubber hits the road that most of the libertarian points just don’t measure up.
With perhaps a rare exception or two I agree with Romney just about right on down the line.
