Media unreasonably attack Gary Johnson over “Favorite Leader” Question

[Legion Troll]

Just saw that Chris Matthews wanted a living person, so Trudea of Canada came to mind.

What a great statesman he is.

Quick, what's his most notable accomplishment?

I like the libertarian philosophy in general (though some of them think we shouldn't need licenses to drive - not down w/ that one).

A lot of it is really common sense, and it's based in erring on the side of freedom.

that's the good part of the philosophy.
keep the government role to basic necessities. Government is not your friend, and it will enslave you if you let it get too unweildly.

Like any other philosophy it requires a balance of interests to work. Compare that to progessives who thrive off governmental intrusions

I pulled up his website, and it says he would sign the TPP. go figure.
Maybe corporate greed is better then governmental over-regs?? * beats me*

I like Gary, but he's really not ready for prime time.

That said, I think Trump wouldn't have known "Aleppo" either. And I don't think quiz-stuff like that is a big deal for someone who hasn't been in Congress or somewhere else where they have to keep up w/ every situation around the world. And everyone has brain freezes.

Trump wouldn't have known what Aleppo was, but he would've bullshitted his way through the answer and just rambled on about some nonsense unrelated to the question to hide that fact.

Trudeau wouldn't be a great answer for a Libertarian.

"Skeptic of intervention" is a mere political stance. .
No foreign aid, disengagement with Pakistan. "Be wary of consequences" - is either blather or isolationism -take you pick

Uh.... yeah... and non-interventionism or isolationism are merely political stances. Your point?

I swear, you make some of the "head-scratchiest" posts.

Isolationism includes protectionism which is why the label is a better fit for your fuhrer.

Please don't concern yourself with my libertarian ideas. I'd engage you and spell out my leanings if you weren't an internet prick, but you are - so I don't.

Speaking of that, I think I might go back to my old name as "Dick from the Internet."

But you still don't have an argument.

Of course, he does.

So, it is you who is uninformed.

Hitler was an "isolationist" in the vein of Trump. Pulled Germany out of the League of Nations, introduced extreme protectionist measures. Of course he also invaded and plundered other countries, which is exactly Trump's plan (invade other countries just to "take their oil").

I pulled up his website, and it says he would sign the TPP. go figure.

He also supports immigration, which does not fit with your attempt to label him an "isolationist."

he said it on air that day silly



I agree with him

military/foreign policy isolationism ( such as world wide disengagement) is a different bird then economic protectionism.

Isolationism is a doctrine. Johnson very much fits into it -I mean no foreign aid?
"Disengagement from Pakistan" ensures either the ISI will look for funding elsewhere, or become more corrupt.
It's a cop out foreign policy.

And no - "skeptical of interventions" is pure political blather. Who isn't?
Clinton perhaps who never met a war she didn't want in on - but for most other non-innate regime changers -it's just blather.

Speaking of that, I think I might go back to my old name as "Dick from the Internet."

suit yourself. I don't give a fuck.

I swear, you make some of the "head-scratchiest" posts.

forget it, you aren't worth engagement.
practice some isolationism and STFU to my posts then.

I suspect that the only thing Rana knows about Trudeau is that he's buff.

your ideas are utter failed crap
