This will be the first time in years that I am voting a Libertarian for President. I think I am going to be going with the LP's pick for President or Ron Paul. True, I think Romney has a better chance at winning but I doubt that he's a principled man.

Gary Johnson, former Governor of New Mexico and Republican Presidential candidate, was just nominated by the LP with a large majority victory over the weekend.  I believe he is likely the most well-known nominee that the LP has nominated.  You can visit his website here:

I see no more reason to believe Romney's fiscal conservatism rhetoric than there was to believe Obama's anti-war rhetoric or Bush's fical conservatism and anti-nation building rhetoric.  They're all owned by someone who does not answer to what some may call "we the people".  I could not pick a "lesser of two evils" amongst Romney and Obama even if I wanted to.

A further note:

There are also, as you might expect, many libertarians opposed to voting altogether:

From Gray Johnson's website:

"Impose and enforce sanctions on employers for noncompliance with immigration laws."

So, Gary Johnson doesn't want to allow businesses to hire whomever they want?

To paraphrase Marc Faber: We're all doomed, but that doesn't mean that we can't make money in the process.

Those are my favorite kind of libertarian.

Anyway, Gary Johnson 2012!
