Ted Cruz is no libertarian
the_Trev:
I saw on instagram after Cruz bailed, a few people saying they now support the libertarian party. Which is great! However, it boggles my mind that you could go from warmongering imperialist to the LP. Cruz wants to be at the forefront of every conflict. He defended NATO. I also don't believe he supports a free market. Trump isn't much better except maybe on foreign policy and I think he's more supportive of a free market. I'll vote for McAfee if he's the nominee. Otherwise, i'll write in Ron Paul. I have this kind of guilty pleasure in watching Trump. I want to like him but he's mostly just a Republican. I digress. Austin Petersen praised Cruz and it was just ridiculous. Maybe it was to try and get some of those votes but come on. I couldn't vote for that guy. Just me?
Deffy:
Unfortunately there are some people out there who still think Tea Party = Libertarianish. He uses the words "Liberty", "Freedom", and "Constitution" a lot too, which I imagine is what these people thing a Libertarian actually says.
Adam Kokesh:
Figures that would be AP's play. This is how the LP loses credibility. I'm leaning McAfee.
Slow poke:
Bugs Bunny for me
Magnaniman:
I think Gary Johnson gives the LP the best chance to pull votes out of the 2-party swindle. He simply has a lot more appeal to disenfranchised refugees from the major parties. My brother, who registered Democrat this year just to vote for Bernie, is seriously considering voting Libertarian this year after hearing an interview with GJ on Democracy Now!.
Tangentially, my brother is also trying to start a business this year and the barriers that socialism and regulation has placed in front of him are opening his mind to the wonders of a free market.
Also, I'd gotten sick of people telling me that Cruz supports small government while he's talking about increasing funding and decreasing accountability for government agencies spying on us.
