Gary Johnson also wants a carbon tax and his running mate William Weld wants tighter gun control. Weld, in the past, has been an advocate of “affirmative action.” These sound like true friends of liberty.

I maintain that for most politicians, the choice of a party is not about ideology--it's about which party, given their locale and connections, is the best career choice. For most (not all), the ideology comes later.

Here we have a man who is clearly not a libertarian using the Libertarian Party as his vehicle.

It's a two-way street, though.

His supporters see Johnson/Weld as a way to "grow the party."

They're only too happy to be used by Gary and Bill because they're also using them.
