Johnson said if he were president, he'd sign the deal into action based on his advisers' recommendations.
"I'm being told that the Trans-Pacific Partnership would, in fact, advance free trade, and so I would support that document," he said.

Uh-oh!
It could be you, or it could be us, but there's no page here.

OK.

Gary Johnson is not Ron Paul. I'm not even sure why he's running as the libertarian candidate. He can't even explain his positions and doesn't even seem to know the typical libertarian talking points; forget Ron Paul, at least most of the previous libertarian candidates actually had libertarian philosophies. It's almost as if he wanted to run as a Republican but realized there were too many candidates in the Republican primary. A libertarian in favor of a big government managed trade deal that's almost 6000 pages and has subsidies for every special interest you can think of. Lmao.

im not a fan of him. Libertarians should seriously consider some type of national contest that doesn't get swallowed by republicans/democrats

 

[shady28]

Problem with Libertarian platforms is that there are many, many different forms of it and many are not at all compatible with each other at a core level.

Just look Libertarian up in Wikipedia and what I'm talking about becomes obvious.

Can't quote the CNN app basically he'd approve TPP day one because he's been told that is the way to change our trade imbalance.

If that's the only thing about Libertopians that turns you off I suggest that you re-evaluate.

 

[s0me0nesmind1]

One comment on TPP (which Hillary is for), and you want to throw him under the bus? In all honesty - since as of right now our choices are a giant douche or a turd sandwich, I am very much planning on voting for Gary Johnson.

I mean as of right now it's a game of choose which gun to shoot yourself with that will be the least painful....

He could become more Ron Paul like and get some Trump voters by putting out publications that say black people are inferior to white people

His devotees already know that, particularly if you include Mexicans. Even his african american knows it.

I would say that would be pretty funny if it wasn't coming from the biggest whiner on P&N on any thread that involves HRC.

Wouldn't free trade comport with libertarian principles?

How do government regulation and trade barriers fit with the libertarian party?

Careful! They get all twitchy trigger fingered & shit if they think you're trying to confuse them.

I'm not trolling. Honest. But no trade barriers seems right up the libertarian alley of less government.

It is. Libertarians live in the world of Austrian economics with no externalities to impede their economic policies.

I understand what you are saying but I feel if I'm literally going to throw my vote away on a party that has a zero point zero chance of winning this is a big concession for me to make.

 

[Hayabusa Rider]

I suppose if he isn't a criminal and has at least one decent principle that puts him ahead of the other two.

It is, unfortunately.

 

[Painman]

Any Libertarian that wants to sign trade deals that suck the soul out of sovereignty in favor of multinationals is... well...

Afterthought: I wanna fuck Brianna Keilar.

You already throw your vote away.

Correct I just don't take a dump on it after I throw it away. This would be like eating a Grande bean burrito from taco bell then taking a dump on it.

So instead voting for a warmongering criminal or a warmongering xenophobe. No dump taken there.

I'll bet TPP is passed in lame duck session after the elections. They'll attach something for the left like gun control measure and attach something for the right like more VA funding, it will barely pass because only the safe representatives and out going will vote for majority of the others will vote no but secretly they want yes they just don't want to be on record supporting it. The ones that do support it will say that what we had to do to get gun stuff or VA stuff done.
