Democrats Should Vote for Gary Johnson



Democrats Should Vote for Gary Johnson
Charlie Earl

On Monday I poked a stick into the hive of Republican complacency and received a buzzing frenzy of feedback. Because I am an equal-opportunity offender, I now direct my pleas to the one or two sensible democrats who are aghast at what their party and their president have done to our country. I’ve met many of you during the past few years, and a number of you are dedicated union members who are disgusted with your unions’ promotions of the global socialist agenda. You work hard, you hunt, you fish, you attend little league games and you love your communities, your state and your country. You grieve (though more silently) with the rest us about what our nation has become. You recognize that the United States of America has morphed into a shooting star of liberty and opportunity….once glittering and bright….but falling fast.

Those of you whose ties to the Democratic Party run deep and back for generations must be feeling the anguish and the pain of a nation gone sour directed by a party gone rogue. Your party no longer represents the essence of American values. It has become a caricature of its former self….spreading platitudes, socialist propaganda and undermining the social fabric, liberty and self-reliance of America. It has become a negative force on the political landscape. In place of rugged individualism and personal freedom, your party has chosen to advance collective “goods” and societal destruction. People and agendas matter….YOU as a person, an individual, do not. Your party has become so obsessed with the “greater good,” that everyone suffers. Your party appears to have embraced “the lowest common denominator” as its standard for achievement.

If you are earning your own way and doing whatever it takes to protect your family, you cannot be pleased with your party’s insistence that you do more so that freeloaders can get a pass. Charity is good, and so is equity of opportunity and choices, but enslaving some to carry the load for others is neither charitable nor equitable. You may have noticed that your leaders who lead the charge….whether union officials or party bigwigs…. live in luxury while demanding that the rest of us “sacrifice” more so that they can buy votes with your hard-earned wages.

Perhaps you are becoming increasingly uneasy with your party’s insistence that the routine murder of innocent babies be treated cavalierly. You may be a pro-life Democrat, but you would feel much better if the tragedy of abortion were treated more seriously and less joyfully. As a long-time democrat, you are probably somewhat uneasy with your party and its leaders’ cozy relationships with so many huge corporate interests. Perhaps you are becoming weary of the “do as I say, not as I do” positions of so many who hold influence within the party structure.

Ms./Mr. Democrat, your discontent and easiness has become palpable, but you believe in citizenship and civic responsibility. A lifetime of observing Republican hypocrisy makes it almost impossible for you to “jump the fence,” but staying within a party that no longer values you is difficult. Consider voting for a principled philosophy that cherishes individual liberty above partisan gains. Vote for Gary Johnson…the Libertarian candidate for President. In fact…if the hysterical ones are to be believed, every vote cast by a Democrat for Johnson….steals one from Romney. You can enjoy a double whammy by voting for liberty and screwing the Republicans. What a deal!!!

Bottom line: A vote for personal liberty and opportunity is always a good thing. Think about it.
