Mitt Romney is the only sane choice for Libertarians [Wayne Allyn Root]

As a former Libertarian presidential contender, the 2008 Libertarian vice presidential nominee, the former chairman of the Libertarian National Campaign Committee, and the man called "Mr. Libertarian" by media across this country, you might be surprised to find I’m supporting Republican Mitt Romney for president. Yes, this Las Vegan has gone “all in” for Mitt. Why? Because Mitt Romney is the only sane choice for Libertarians.

It’s simple. Libertarians believe in less government; lower taxes; cutting rules, regulations and mandates to get government out of the way of small business; reining in out-of-control government agencies like the EPA; auditing the Fed; and balancing the budget. Sound familiar?

So do Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Certainly a little less than Libertarians, including me, would like. But, I’ll take incremental progress over no progress. Mitt Romney is a step in the right direction.

Barack Obama is a thousand miles in the wrong direction -- a direction that leads to the bankruptcy of our children and grandchildren and the destruction of the American Dream. A vote for anyone but Romney is a vote for Obama and his disastrous road that leads to the end of America (as we know it).

The Obama you’ve seen for the last four years is nothing like the radical man who will be unleashed for the next four. The first Obama term was just a small taste of things to come....

Now if Romney will talk about Beghazi before the election, I’ll be a little happier.

I've changed my mind on this, originally I thought so too. And with a fair media, he'd be able to.

But that isn't reality. The media near-blackout (except Fox) means the issue isn't registering with many voters, sad to say, and with Sandy turning attention elsewhere, I don't see where it gains Romney much to talk about it.

Not to mention the hysterical accusations of "politicizing" the story from the dimbulbs. Better to stick with what he's doing IMO rather than introducing this into his final speeches.

It is interesting how Obama has already indicated his intentions for the next 4 years of being free from the fear of reelection with his Russian remarks. A set of true intention made all the more potent with his remarks in the debates and in his campaign.

I think if Obama wins then many of theses things to the extent he can force them will come to past. his radicalism might drive even more democrats to yern for mercy and help prepell more conservatives to office in 2014 and 2016. But the damage to this “country” that was the united states will have been done and likely not undo-able. In simpler terms the fate of the union will be sealed into a desinsty of slavery to the state or violent revolution and/or probably dilution.

For me the cards have already been delt. It is my highest estimation of human nature most particularly as it relates to their behavioral in a mob(democracy) they will act in accordance with the same patter that they always have which will of course like in all other cases lead to the destruction of their civilization just as it inevitably consist of the gradual enslavement and suppression of their own indivile sprite and potential.

True patriots will resist and fight for their rights with every fiber of their being, but the mob in most cases will prove itself too numerous, too ignorant, and after all too strong to win against. Thus patriots in their minds become little more than anarchist criminals. Criminal not for what they do to others but rather for what they refuses to do at the command of their self-appointed masters.

This in my mind is already our fate, with the abolition of our Federal constitution of limited government, the outcome of this particular battle is somewhat insignificant. Whether we win today or not we will inevitably continue to lose ground tomorrow, just as we have been under this lawless government.
