I am a Conservative for fiscal responsibility and individual freedom. I still had a real sense of hope for the Republican party(this election), when Rand Paul was running.
-Audit/End The Federal Reserve (Inflation halves the minimum wage and steals the wealth of the middle class, while favoring the government and the rich)
-Fiscal Conservatism (Republicans seem to have all together forsaken this goal)
-A Political Ideology class taught me about Classical Liberalism; most importantly it is the precursor to modern liberalism & modern conservatism, and has nothing to do with political parties.
-Non Interventionist Policies (the bloodlines willing to defend this faltering nation are being exhausted, because their sense of duty is being abused)
-End the Drug War (The purpose of law enforcement has been systemically altered)
-Socially Liberal (may not support all of it, but religious battles against personal choice are costing us a country)
-Taxes (simplify, so that government can be mades small by use of the purse)
-Gary Johnson's business background will help him equalize one of trumps advantageous claims.
-His Governing background will help him equalize hillerys advantages
-With Bernie out I think he holds a serious chance, as long as he can reactivate bernies voters
Ending/Personal notes: After the rejection or disregard for Rand Paul, lack of an equivalent candidate, and watching Trump gain by shamelessly pandering, I decided that I couldn't let the Republican party represent me this election. I voted Libertarian in the Primary, because nominee fates were already sealed as it pertained to me. I would have voted for Jim Webb, but the Democratic Party both revealed that our political course is changing, and thankfully failed to take the advantage where they found it.

If I vote for Johnson it is because Trump couldn't win me over. The election is his to lose. I don't like Johnson either. I feel the pot smoking faction foisted this mediocre candidate upon us - too bad cuz I really think a good Libertarian Candidate could have trounced both mainstream parties this year.
Viva La Evolucion!
I was a Bernie supporter, but I have always been a Libertarian. I believe in the idea that we should be socially liberal, and fiscally conservative, and Johnson get's my vote because of that.

I was thinking about it b/c Libertarians are at least socially out of your business but can be reasonable about financial issues.
BUT, I saw (admittedly a biased) video of a Libertarian meeting and unfortunately, they are all over the place-very unorganized. I can't remember if he specifically felt this way but many of them were anti-public education.
I am 100% against that stance. I want my kid to be educated, but I am not a teacher-type myself.Besides, no way could I afford to stay home to teach when my kid was younger. Not only that but a well-educated society is safer, in general. Obviously we still have problems but it is much worse in countries where there isn't public education.

He's my default candidate if Bernie isn't on a ticket somewhere. Libertarians believe in smaller government, which is something I can support.
