1. Ron Paul 2. Gary Johnson 3. Obama 4. The rest of the GOP fieldChampionoChumps
This is what I don't understand. If you support the libertarian cause, why do you support Obama? He's the antithesis of libertarianism.
Ron Paul is the only Republican Candidate that I like, hell even as a strong liberal I'm not sure who I would vote for if it came down between Ron Paul and Obama.

I don't support Obama, I support the other GOP candidates less than Obama.I don't support Obama, I support the other GOP candidates less than Obama.ChampionoChumps
Lets not mince words. When Ron Paul drops out, who will you vote for President?

Hell, he has a chance of winning the nomination. For presidency though, I'm not sure since the race isn't over but if there are no libertarian leaning candidates then I will write Dr. Paul in. Also, I've seen you describe yourself as a conservative libertarian, so why would you vote Romney (who is like the Republican form of Obama but lies even more) over Paul?

1. Cain (yes, I know, and so do you or you don't get it)
2. Obama
3. Paul
4. The rest are absolutely terrible. They're horrible human beings. Romney would probably be the one who annoys me the least, but I'm a pretty closed minded fellow I guess...

Because the pragmatist in me wins out over the idealist. It becomes much more viable to talk about libertarianism when the economy is in a golden age and the young electorate who thinks I do come of age and start getting into politics.
Romney is the republicans best shot at winning. Bottom line. I wish it wasn't so, I really do. I wish with all of my heart and soul that Chris Christie was running, or that Jon Huntsman had a surge. Both of those guys would have been even better than Romney. Alas, that's not the case.
I also can't reconcile with the libertarian view of foreign policy. I'm a peace through strength kind of guy.
And Obama is?[QUOTE="Pirate700"]
[QUOTE="Dark_Knight6"]
1. Obama
The rest aren't worth ranking.
Dark_Knight6
By default, yes.
yea the experience of him being an incumbent is an invaluable factor when you need to evaluate the dudewhether you agree him being great or awful is a different thing
[QUOTE="Dark_Knight6"]
[QUOTE="Pirate700"]And Obama is?
Pirate700
By default, yes.
How is he worth ranking by default? Just because he's your guy?Because he is the one I dislike the least.

Yes, well voting for the guy who's going to win isn't the most logical thing to do... You should vote for who you want to vote for, each vote carries some weight.
Also, libertarian views on foreign policy is just an opposition to to imperialism, no one said we need a weak military. Look at Switzerland, they are badasses, and no one ever messes with them; and they have the same foreign policy (to my knowledge) that Ron Paul has.

I disagree. Voting for someone who has the best chance of being elected is the ONLY logical thing to do. Romney can do some good if he was elected President. Much more so than Obama.
I don't think people don't mess with Switzerland because they're badasses. I think it's because they are removed from the "game" much more so than we are. The more I think about it, the more I believe we have a moral obligation to intercede in the world. Not to push an agenda, but to stop war criminals and dictators. That's my belief on the matter, and it can't be reconciled with isolationist foreign policy.

Being elected into presidency? Well then I would like to inform you that in the latest PPP poll of who would fare better, Paul v Obama, it was 46% to 48%, respectively. Mitt Romney didn't do much better and was the only candidate who did better than Paul.Opposition to imperialism is not isolationism! Calling Paul an isolationist is like calling your neighbor a hermit because he doesn't come over and break your windows and steal your things. Seriously, I disagree with policing the world, but even if I did, I would not support doing it when we are bankrupt.
