A skeptic’s case for Gary Johnson

TAMPA, September 26, 2012 – You may be an independent that finds the major party candidates for president particularly weak this year. You may be an “Old Right” conservative that can’t bring yourself to vote for Mitt Romney. You may be a died-in-the-wool liberal who thinks Barack Obama’s presidency has been just a little too similar to Dubya’s.

Or, you may be a libertarian.

If you belong to any of those groups, you might be considering voting for Gary Johnson. Ironically, if you are a libertarian, you may need the most convincing.

Gary Johnson isn’t well-grounded in libertarian theory and it results in him taking some positions that libertarians don’t like. I made the argument myself that Johnson is not really a libertarian at all. In two subsequent interviews (here and here), Johnson didn’t allay those concerns.

Regardless, Gary Johnson is the best choice for president this year for voters from all over the political spectrum.

    Tom, I love your articles. This was a great one: https://communities.washingtontimes.com/neighborhood/reawakening-liberty/2012/sep/26/skeptics-case-gary-johnson/

    But what the hell does this disclaimer at the bottom of your article here mean?! Am I going to be sued for posting to Facebook?

      Thanks, Jim. That copyright is part of my agreement with WTC. You can repost any article FB – that is just a link back to the article. “Reprinting” means putting the article up on your blog in its entirety or a substantial part. You can even reprint an excerpt as long as it links back to the WTC article for the reader to read the rest there. They want the traffic. That’s what they pay me for.
