Gary Johnson on Paul Ryan: "He is anything but a libertarian" - Hit & Run: Reason.com

Gary Johnson on Paul Ryan: "He is anything but a libertarian" - Hit &; Run : Reason.com - Garrett Quinn:

August 18, 2012 - "Gary Johnson is not happy that some in the media call Republican vice presidential candidate and Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan a libertarian.

"'He voted for the Patriot Act, he voted for the National Defense Appropriation Act, he voted to ban online poker, he’s proposing a budget that gets balanced in thirty years. He is anything but a libertarian, anything but,' said Johnson after a packed campaign dinner at Hill’s Café.

"Johnson, the Libertarian Party nominee for president, noted that Ryan was a strict social conservative that voted to restrict abortion rights and against marriage equality.

"'Paul Ryan submitted personhood legislation that is anything but libertarian,' he said. Johnson's eyes widened and his volume increased as he went into detail about Ryan’s support for a national version of Virginia’s controversial transvaginal ultrasound law."
