Republican Implosion Evokes No Pity From Libertarians
Only sorry they couldn't help hammer a few more nails in the coffin lid
ALBUQUERQUE – The Mitt Romney bashing started when I caught up with Gary Johnson as he was doing a walkthrough of his Election Night party Tuesday night.
"It's just remarkable to me that this is who Republicans put up. This was cast ahead of time. All the criticism of Romney which is that he really is not conservative and then on the social side, it's a little scary," Johnson said.

The GOP gets no sympathy from me, that's for sure. When they nominated Mitt Romney, a totally unacceptable Establishment candidate, I went from being a Ron Paul supporter to voting straight Libertarian this year. Maybe the next four years will give the Liberty wing of the GOP time to grow and gain influence. Rand Paul in 2016 would certainly attract my attention again as far as supporting a Republican candidate.
Same here -- straight Libertarians and abstained elsewhere.
