You Just Never Know What You Are Going to End Up With in a Politician...

...libertarian or otherwise.

WaPo reports on "Libertarian" Party candidate, Jonathan Dine.
Ironically, it was Dine — as a Libertarian, he’s generally against government involvement — who differed from his opponents when asked how the government should fight the growing epidemic of obesity. While McCaskill and Akin agreed it wasn’t the government’s role to tell us what to eat, Dine said government could slim down Americans’ waistlines with tax incentives for gym memberships, healthy foods and other diet and lifestyle changes.
It's really time to ditch politics and all the maddening law changes advocated by potential lawmakers. Let's stick to a call for a live and let live society that respects private property. No changes to this perspective, ever. No lawmakers needed, ever.

  3. He could have always advocated for no individual income taxes, abolishing subsidies to giant agro businesses and eliminating the FDA and their crappy health guidelines.
