Looking At Johnson

Post by MSimon »

The GOP should look across the aisle to the Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson. The former Governor of New Mexico won over a million votes, the LP’s best showing since 1980.

Johnson’s success shows that Americans are interested in what the GOP has always said it stood for but never delivered on: A government that stays out of the boardroom and out of the bedroom.

No significant percentage of the GOP and certainly no official platform has ever suggested the GOP should stand for "out of the bedroom," since by "out of the bedroom" you actually mean abandonment of all government regulation that impairs sexual license regardless of second order effects.

The GOP has been consistent on the messages that every child has a right to life even if that's inconvenient for the mother's future lifestyle; that a formal marriage arrangement between one man and one woman should be culturally and legally encouraged because it is best for society including the children that result from their union, etc. To claim that anything other than a tiny minority of the GOP has ever adopted a libertine view towards sexual issues is false
