Yes, I agree, Gary Johnson is a "softball" libertarian. Not the ideal face for libertarians. Certainly not as good as Rand Paul.
Having said that, in this election, there is no one more qualified to bring a "more libertarian" position to the executive office than Gary Johnson. He will bring a much more liberty oriented presidency than either of those representing the dems or reps.
Look at it as taking "small steps" toward a more libertarian approach giving people a chance to see how much better it can be than the slight "taste" they get with Johnson.
It could be just the catalyst for a Rand Paul or even an Austin Petersen the next time. Meanwhile, we are still worlds better than with the other candidates.
He may not be the ideal libertarian but then ideals are just that. They are something to strive for, work toward. Johnson is only the most likely first step in a journey to more liberty.
I would rather vote for Gary Johnson representing those first steps toward more libertarian representatives than vote for, or even against, the others up against him.
