CNN reports that Gov. Jeb Bush and Gov. Mitt Romney are considering voting for Gov. Gary Johnson, Libertarian candidate for President.

Chairman of the Libertarian National Committee, Nicholas Sarwark, says, "The Libertarian Party is delighted that Govs. Bush and Romney are considering voting for our candidates, Govs. Johnson and Weld. I think they know that Johnson and Weld are far more qualified to be President and Vice President than Trump and Pence."

"It takes great courage for someone who has spent so many years serving the Republican Party to consider voting for a different party's candidate for president. We applaud Govs. Bush and Romney's courage. They don't have to agree with us on every issue to see that our Presidential and Vice Presidential candidates are clearly the best choices in this race."

"Govs. Johnson and Weld are exceptionally well qualified and also exceptional human beings. If Americans want candidates they can be proud to vote for, and who would serve honorably and justly, they should support Govs. Johnson and Weld."

The Libertarian Party is the only political party in America devoted to protecting all rights, of all human beings, all the time.

If I were the Libertarian party, I'd have waited with this announcement until Bush and Romney have actually decided to vote for them.

It's CNN's headline that may be misleading. It's not an announcement that Mitt and Jeb will vote for Johnson. It's simply a message saying "we welcome your votes". It infers they are at least talking. Which to me, is a good thing.

Agreed, and it's this kind of Amateur Night crap that keeps the LP in the bush league. In part, anyway.

Depends on the goal. Right now that is the fifteen percent to get in the debates.

What not enough bullying, bloviating and lying for you?

I'd rather bush league class than the bigoted, chauvinistic pig you want.


Was that too harsh?

No, but I never said I want him. I'm just a bit closer to not hurling at the thought of him winning. :)

my bad.

You never did say you "want" him but he is who you are voting for.

Aside to TomK: I need KathyK for a real girl fight! I miss her here. Now Kathy has sharp claws! I got to meet her while she was vacationing on Captiva. Super nice.

What's the bigger ideological leap: Republican->Libertarian, or Republican->Democrat?

I suspect the former, which, to me, makes this leap disingenuous.

I suspect they're mostly concerned with tainting their political lives with support for either of the two major party candidates.

It's the Smart Move! :rolleyes2:

for only "suspecting" you're being quite judgmental. :rolleyes2:

I've been a registered Republican my entire voting life except for a few years when I was a registered Libertarian in Maryland. I can only go by my own values, beliefs and feelings. I can assure you in my case the bigger ideological leap would be Republican->Democrat.

What's the use of suspecting something if you can't judge based on it?

For some reason or other I missed her when she was here. I have no idea why. I would have loved to have seen her--and you. :)
