Hannan also supported Obama over McCain. I guess judging American politicians just isn't his forte. I would think he's more attuned to the politics of his own government.
I really like Gary and would be supporting him if RP wasn't running.

Would be bothered to care if Johnson wasn't polling between *-1%, getting refused entry to debates for low levels of support and had all of $6,000 cash on hand at the end of the last fundraising quarter.
Johnson is right there with Fred Karger and Buddy Roemer in the 'waste of time candidate' category.

Honestly I do not get all the Gary Johnson bashing (which is the same exact bashing I saw on Ron Paul and his supporters in 2007/8). Just like Paul he is not perfect, but he is on our side.

Hannan is a British politician. Not American. I remember seeing him admit that he doesn't always have all the facts and sometimes makes his comments only based on the limited picture he sees from across the pond.
That being said an endorsement for Gary is not a bad thing. Obviously I don't see Gary going anywhere in 2012 but he's got a lot of the right ideas. In a perfect world he would be my number one this go around.
Libertarians - trying to improve the world through ideas and free markets rather than legislation and prisons.
And still the libertarians view him as a ticket to a libertarian utopia. I may not be one, but if i were of the libertarian faction, i woud dismiss "GARY JOHNSON" as a shill and a bad compromiser. Johnson supports faux free trade (NAFTA CAFTA) which muscles out our manufacturing base. Johnson is a fitness fanatic more than a person willing to be a president (might as well see him on a infomercial selling "Libertarian Workout or LW). Yes, he built himself a big business. So what, RP ran a business that bellied up, yet RP still espouses his genuine views concerning Austrian economics, Fair Taxation and metaphysical-realist knowledge on ancient and modern forms of currency (AKA Stable Fiat,Gold Standard, Tally Stick). And to think libertarians and the tea party look to Gary Dumbo, Michelle Bachmeister and godfather's pizza guy is mind numbing, confusing and all around idiotic. John Hospers is now rolling in his grave, and Milton Friedman is angry. May America know who to choose on in 2011. Because we might not have an america left in 2012. So while you can, indulge in everything american american. Because you will be fighting with a gun and a knife with blood on your hands. I'm Done, thats a rap
I can only speak for myself, but he has royally pissed me off by his derogatory comments towards Ron Paul. Just like Bob Barr, he seems unable to tout his own platform and earn support. He instead seems to believe that they only people he can possibly appeal to are the people who support Ron Paul.
"Integrity means having to say things that people don't want to hear & especially to say things that the regime doesn't want to hear.” -Ron Paul
"Bathtub falls and police officers kill more Americans than terrorism, yet we've been asked to sacrifice our most sacred rights for fear of falling victim to it." -Edward Snowden
He did mention Ron Paul in the original article, the person who quoted him on this site removed it. Cain isn't a politician (and he seems to have no idea what he's talking about most of the time). Walker is pretty good, he's an alright Governor compared to the rest.
Hannan is a friend of Reince Priebus and part of the British Conservative delegation to the Republican Party, so he's pretty friendly with the establishment. The extremely progressive conservatives in his own country make even Romney look like a libertarian.
Hannan is liberty-minded and understands Austrian economics, but I'm not sure if I would call him an actual libertarian, at least by the American definition. He is fairly hawkish with Iran.
