Don’t Criticize Gary Johnson?

Don’t criticize Gary Johnson I have been told by several individuals today. He is not perfect, they all say, but he is the best choice we have for president and deserves our support. I would love to see Gary Johnson elected president instead of either Obama or Romney, but I know, my critics know, and I hope Gary Johnson knows that he has a zero chance of being elected president. As to whether the LP should even run a candidate for president, that is another topic for another day. I will continue to criticize everyone who deviates from a pure libertarian standard. And Gary has many deviations. For example, he doesn’t support ending the drug war completely by legalizing all drugs. This is a serious deviation in my opinion. I hope that I am criticized and brought into line should I depart from what Walter Block calls plumb-line libertarianism. (Some libertarians think I have already departed because I don’t support abortion on demand.) More on Johnson later.
