Please Stop the Gary Johnson Threads!

As they say - hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. It's fine to pine for a Paul nomination, but since that's likely not in the cards, it's foolish for us to not talk about our options.

To offer a more global concern - the worst thing that ever happened to this movement was the cult of personality that grew around Paul, a cult of personality that Paul himself warned against because he saw it starting. This board should still be Liberty Forest, and it should be about the liberty movement as a whole.

I agree. And the fact that so many are clinging to Paul when he has done nothing to show that he will be on the ballot this November is very disturbing. Why not support Gary Johnson, who supports all of Ron Paul's ideas and will be on the ballot in all 50 states this year?

Better yet, why not just support liberty's candidates, whoever it may be?

I really think Paul should have run for the libertarian nomination this year. Then he would be on the ballot in all 50 states. Who cares about the party label? Ron Paul used to not care about the party label...
