  The Party of Principle - No Johnson shouldn't.  The whole reason he was nominated and the fight for Weld to be his VP was to move the party from the extreme idealism of Libertarianism to a party that could accomplish its principles of minimum government and maximum individual freedom.  Like pure communism, pure democracy, and pure capitalism; pure Libertarianism will never exist.  I actually view myself as a Progressive more than a Libertarian but I also view the Libertarian Party as the closest party to being Progressive.
  
  I agree, if you're comfortable with the way things are going and the way things are heading, vote democrat.  Voting and participating in the political life of our country is a very good thing.
