Endorsement

Gary Johnson, Presidential candidate representing the Libertarian party, has garnered the endorsement of the Chattanooga Times Free Press. A few of the statements that stand out to me:

Romney may be less eager to tax, spend, attack personal freedoms and disregard the constitutional limits on government than his Democratic opponent, President Barack Obama, but only slightly.

 ...

To the extent that Romney offers an alternative to Obama, the difference is in degree, not in kind.

 ...

Some may argue that voting for a minor party candidate is a waste of a vote. While Johnson won't win on Nov. 6, the more votes Johnson receives, the more the Republican and Democratic parties are forced to consider adopting his policies.

...

Others claim that it is wise to vote for the lesser of two evils. The problem with that, however, is that voting for evil only leads to more evil. A vote is an affirmation that a candidate is on the right track, but Barack Obama and Mitt Romney clearly aren't when it comes to limiting government, promoting individual liberty and protecting free market economic principles.

I could not have said it better myself. I agree 100% with every statement herein. Wish I could post it all as it was written.
