This pro-abortion, pro-homosexual agenda, open borders libertarian party voting nut is a fruit cake.

This is the actual, 2004 text of the Libertarian Party Platform on immigration.

COMPLETE PLATFORM TEXT
INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS AND CIVIL ORDER

IMMIGRATION:
The Issue: We welcome all refugees to our country and condemn the efforts of U.S. officials to create a new “Berlin Wall” which would keep them captive. We condemn the U.S. government’s policy of barring those refugees from our country and preventing Americans from assisting their passage to help them escape tyranny or improve their economic prospects.

The Principle: We hold that human rights should not be denied or abridged on the basis of nationality. Undocumented non-citizens should not be denied the fundamental freedom to labor and to move about unmolested. Furthermore, immigration must not be restricted for reasons of race, religion, political creed, age or sexual preference. We oppose government welfare and resettlement payments to non-citizens just as we oppose government welfare payments to all other persons.

Solutions: We condemn massive roundups of Hispanic Americans and others by the federal government in its hunt for individuals not possessing required government documents. We strongly oppose all measures that punish employers who hire undocumented workers. Such measures repress free enterprise, harass workers, and systematically discourage employers from hiring Hispanics.

Transitional Action: We call for the elimination of all restrictions on immigration, the abolition of the Immigration and Naturalization Service and the Border Patrol, and a declaration of full amnesty for all people who have entered the country illegally.

Dear Dan from Squirrel Hill,

It is very simple really, I am a communist.

Yours truly,

Roger Ebert

In the 2008 United States election, I wrote in Ron Paul for President. In the 2012 election, I will be voting for Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson.

Your vote for Paul did and your vote for Johnson will count for absolutely nothing.

Why do you do that? Let me guess: you've enjoyed the first nobama circus so much you want to be assured there will be another. Why else would you waste your vote?

Overweening sense of self-righteousness?

Posting the full text is good. Phoebe Cates mention is both good and funny. Voting for candidates that cannot ever win an EC vote is stupid. In PA it’s the equivalent of voting for Obama.

Also, you probably should have filmed this blog post instead of writing it. I’m not certain Ebert reads. He gets all his information either visually or alimentarily. ;-]

JK Roger.

Dan,

Although you make some good points, a vote for Mr Johnson will have the same effect as voting for Obama. Mr Johnson has NO chance of winning. None. Zero. Nada. So what happens if your one vote for Johnson gives Obama the one vote he needs to win?

Umm, Phoebe's best performance was in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where she performed a dual role.

Romney is not exactly what I would call a supporter of limited government. I cannot in good conscience vote for him.

There is no cure for mental illness only medication to lessen the uphoria. Look who they turn to for an opinion, a movie critic.

Do you vote in a swing state? If no, then vote as you wish. If yes, you’re voting for more Obama. If Obama wins how does government get smaller? The fight isn’t for Romney, but against Obama. Do you have children?

Dear Dan from Squirrel Hill,

It is very simple really, my wife is a black woman and I must support Obama because he's black, too. Besides, I am a communist.

Yours trulyToodles,

Roger Ebert

If the republicans upheld their sworn oath to defend the Constitution, Obama would be in prison right now. I'm going to write-in the name of the only man I know of who upheld his sworn oath:
