Libertarian Nominee Gary Johnson Says He Agrees With Socialist Sanders 73% Of The Time

Libertarian candidate for President Gary Johnson tells a caller on C-SPAN that he agrees with socialist Bernie Sanders 73% of the time. This is the guy that a bunch of NeverTrumpers have decided to support. Most people might think it odd that a self-described libertarian would have so much in common with a socialist.

Even though the Libertatrians are of no consequence it is still sad to see them taken over by fascists.

Well, that’s enough for me. I’d settle for 60% agreement with the Bern.

Gary Johnson is the media/entertainment/academia propaganda complex flavor of the month. Normally, the Libertarian candidate is a footnote, but they are desperate to try to conjure up a third party to bleed off Trump’s support and get Hillary into the White House.

A libertarian lines up with a life-long sponge three-fourths of the time? So much for libertarians.

Today’s libertarian party has become a home for crackpots and potheads. They are more like the BernieBros. But maybe that means they’ll siphon more votes from Hillary than from Trump

Proof that most libertarians put sexual freedom above personal freedom, ignoring everything else the leftist authoritarians want to control or deny.

A libertarian once thought natural laws and natural right protected them from man law and man government

Now Libertarian's think Government is to protect them from natural law...then become immature childlike anarchist that see government protecting the consequence action... the want the benevolent Nanny state that spoils and coddles thier want and whims and never let the realities of life tell them no

Gary is not my man and never will be.

That being said, this is a little like saying that Baptists agree with 73% of Catholic doctrine—and it’s probably a higher %age—but that doesn’t mean Baptists should be associated with Catholic issues, or vice versa.

That’s no surprise. Libertarians are just leftists who are afraid to admit it.
