Arkansas State Legislator Calls Libertarian Party 'Enemies of Freedom'

"because they contributed to President Obama's re-election over Mitt Romney" False. Let's look at the popular vote: Obama - 62,278,404 Romney - 58,901,020 Difference - 3,377,384 Gary Johnson - 1,191,420 Even though the popular vote doesn't decide the Presidency, let's just say that Mitt received 100% of Gary's votes. 58,901,020 1,191,420 = 60,092,440. STILL NOT ENOUGH TO WIN THE POPULAR VOTE!! In Florida: Obama: 4,235,270 Romney: 4,162,081 Romney Gary's votes: 4,206,762. Still not enough to win Florida!! In Ohio: Obama: 2,697,260 Romney: 2,593,779 Romney Gary's votes: 2,641,066. Still not enough to win Ohio!! In Colorado: Obama: 1,238,490 Romney: 1,125,391 Romney Gary's votes: 1,15,763. Still not enough to win Colorado!! I would love for Mr. Bell to back up his claim that "Gary Johnson contributed to the re-election of Obama" with hard facts. Libertarians are supposed to be natural allies of the republican party. I am floored that politicians such as Mr. Bell choose to place blame on their supposed allies, instead of accepting their failure and strive to be better. Both libertarians and republicans are advocates of personal responsibility. I would therefore, encourage the republican party to practice what they preach. They cannot avoid responsibility for losing the election by placing the blame on someone else. The GOP lost, not because of Gary Johnson, but because they chose to nominate a flip-flopping neo-conservative that goes against everything the GOP is supposed to stand for. America is becoming more socially liberal. If the GOP doesn't want to continue to lose to the democrats, they need the embrace libertarianism to get the youth vote. This doesn't mean abandoning your Christian conservative values, it just means recognizing that the government has no role in legislating morality. It's time to stop playing the blame game and look where you messed up. We didn't nominate your candidate. You did. Don't tread on me.
