I love Gary Johnson

Social conservatives will HATE HIM though. Which means I will support the guy even more

Johnson understands liberty and freedom and is a first class individual.

Here is a chart showing how people that share that dislike for social conservatives vote, it is unusual for you guys to vote conservative.

Then I guess he doesn’t understand our constitution, becuase if he did, he’d realize that it is the left (through the courts) which fight for liberal social policy. Have you (and he) forgotten THEY actually started the “cultural wars”, and pushed big government through the couts..(roe v. wade, etc..) not conservatives. If we went back to strict adherance to the Constitution “social issues” wouldn’t be as much an issue on the Federal level!

I for one will NEVER support anyone who is not 1) Smaller government oriented (both fiscally as well as personal liberty)-either libertarian or traditional conservative 2) Is not a Constitutionalist (committe to returning government to the original principles upon which we are founded), and fight government corruption, and 3) Is not “morally” traditionally socially conservative as well.

This statement alone is enough to sink Johnson.

This practical approach drives his notorious attitude toward drug prohibition, which Johnson has attacked more forcefully and visibly than any other elected official in America today. He rails against the drug war mostly, though not exclusively, on the grounds that it is inefficient. In general, he is more interested in pragmatic concerns than in defending anything as abstract as inalienable rights. When I bring up prostitution, another consensual crime, he endorses decriminalization, but not on the grounds that people own their bodies or that it’s not the state’s business. Instead he frames his response this way: "Given that prostitution takes place, the question is, ‘Are you safer engaging a prostitute in Nevada or New Mexico?’ I think you are clearly safer engaging one in Nevada in a licensed prostitution establishment."
