I just don't like mitt Romney

[choxorn]

GhostWriter, how many times are we going to have to tell you that wanting the government to force people to do things according to your beliefs makes you, by definition, not a libertarian?

But hey, go on calling yourself a libertarian, and bigotry "I'm not afraid of this, I just think they're going to hell", and abortion murder, and Romney a liberal, and Democrats Socialists, and anything else you want to keep doing. It's not like the definitions of words matter at all, right?

 

[useless]

He's a libertarian except for when it comes to women's uteruses, where he seems to make an exception. Even after he does this, he still goes on about the evil state, calling us state worshippers whilst ignoring his tacit support of the state (in terms of rejecting gay marriage equality, the death penalty and when it comes down to cracking down on women's bodily autonomy).

Jesus, the cognative dissonance is amazing.

When did I suggest forcing anyone to do anything in that post?

By US definition, Romney is a liberal, much the same as Obama. The only effective way out of that fact is to claim Obama himself is not a liberal, which you guys are fond of doing.

Democrats aren't socialist generally, most of them are social democrats or social capitalists (Which I think means the same thing.) "Thieves" would also be an adequete description of Democrat politicians, and most Republican politicians.

The only proper Libertarian position towards life is to be pro-life. To be pro-abortion is to reject the NAP, IMO.

The death penalty has little to do with the size of the state, and a whole lot of how to punish those things that the state SHOULD be covering. You people would say that in a society where murder is the only crime, and the punishment is death, the government is large

"State-worship" is very different than accepting its existance as a necessary evil. You people, for the most part, worship the state since you think it is the only solution to anything.

No one is asking for state assistance to terminate a pregnancy.

 

[GhostWriter16]

That's not even true, actually, although even if it were, that's besides the point. The KKK usually didn't ask for state assistance in lynching blacks. And if you complain about the comparison, I'll agree with you, saying that as horrible as lynches were, at least those lynched were able to defend themselves, while a fetus is totally defenseless.

 

[JollyRoger]

The KKK sure did ask for state assistance - in the form of acquittals.

 

[GhostWriter16]

Well then, does Roe v Wade ring a bell? They are asking for state assistance. Nevermind the taxpayer's funding abortions.

 

[JollyRoger]

There are no taxpayer funded abortions.

Even the average conservative wouldn't consider Romney a liberal. He is conservative, or at least center-right, by the definition of just about anyone, except you.

 

[CaptainF]

OP nailed it. Romney is an enormous, sopping wet douchebag.

Who the hell are you to talk about "proper Libertarian" anything? You think the government should have the authority to execute people.

Sometimes, you really can judge a book by its cover.

As noted by Something Awful the so called "Libertarians" do not have the interests of the people at mind. A figure who called for methods to limit the powers of the state did make notice that the capitalist libertarians were more dangerous then the state in many areas. Something Awful's dislike of libertarians is just.

After Mitt made that infamous remark, I'm not going to be voting for him now. Way to stick your foot in your mouth Mitt.

I guess I'll be voting for the lesser of the two evils, Obama. Unless Mitt goes into damage control mode, which I higly doubt.

 

[choxorn]

Would you have ever even considered voting for Mitt in the first place?

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

If Mitt was still a moderate Republican capable of compromise with Democrats, and the Democrat running against him was Al Sharpton, you bet your sweet zombie buns I'd be voting for Romney.

Unfortunately he is the Republican's Al Sharpton now, and as such, I would vote for a dead raccoon over him.

Would you have ever even considered voting for Mitt in the first place?

That's kind of complicated for me. If unemployment does not go down and no new jobs are created, I'd likely vote for Mitt out of disappointment of Obama's performance on the economic and jobs front. If the unemployment went down and jobs are created, I would have voted for Obama. Third party options, are a waste of a vote IMO, it's eater one party or another or don't vote at all.

If asked if I am better off now than I was four years ago, with no hesitation I'd say that I am worse off now than I was four years ago. But his comment struck a nerve to me in assuming that I am part of the voting bloc that wants entitlements and dependent on the government.

That is a flat out lie. [wiki]Planned_Parenthood#Funding[/wiki] The vast majority of it's funding is from the federal government.

 

[Askthepizzaguy]

Oh, haven't given my feelings about Paul Ryan-

He's never been anyone I could possibly support. His ideology is dead wrong and his methods are unrepentant in the art of lying unabashedly about matters he knows he's speaking falsehoods about. Not exaggeration, not out of context, not wordplay, but bald faced lying.

It was hilarious to watch the press try to aim for a mushy middle between the truth and the lies, by not taking sides against the obvious lying, while claiming that "some Democrats" think he's being dishonest.

That's not the case. Some Democrats don't think he's being dishonest. All Fact Checkers know he's pants on fire lying and showed us the proof.
