Libertarian worthy option to GOP, Dems

There is an alternative to the Democratic and Republican presidential nominees!

The mass media reports that both the Republican and Democratic nominees are each thoroughly detested, both because these two candidates seem extremely unseemly. Both are accused by their critics as corrupt, as liars, as bad for the country and there are many other invectives we could tally as reasons why these two should not be elected to be president.

So, then what? Do we have an alternative other than simply not voting?

Yes, we do. It is the Libertarian contender, Gary Johnson.

I won’t explain why other than urging the readers to go to the website for more information as to why this party is a good choice, but for those who do not have access to the web, let me state this. Proposals are as follows: 20 percent reduction in military defense spending, non-intervention militarily, smaller government, less regulation for businesses, less overall taxation, elimination of criminal action versus health pro-action for drug abuse, and legalization for marijuana use, among other helpful legislation aimed to maintain individual freedoms and rights.

You may be wondering why I know so much about the party. It is because I ran for office in my previous home state (I didn’t get many votes either). This is because the Libertarians are getting short shrift in the mass media.

However, this particular candidate is worthy of your vote as he is sane, a realist, and simply is not like the Democratic and Republican nominees who clearly seem unfit for this office due to the negative connotations applied by the actions they have taken to get where they are now.

I urge all readers with an open mind to explore the suggestion to see for themselves.
