back in the seventy's is that the libertarian party has always felt the social security was basically socialism that it should be operated under private contract between individuals and private corporations when did the party change its position on. no we haven't where you would privatized that except that and this is governor johnson and me this is our campaign that we would make various cut offs as to which age limit resit over time you want to private thomas they will come out ahead ok and the same thing with a lot of kaiser act. over time either you need to bring competition you just can't do this and soundbites tom that medicare you need to bring competition back into the health care field look i don't know how old you are but what i was raised in the fifty's early sixty's it wasn't even a topic of conversation that we can't find reasonable medicare for reasonable health care for reasonable prices we weren't closing emergency rooms just not on the radar then the federal government starts getting involved and now we're in a real mess and i'll ask you in our end our viewers do you

parties. should be about principles. what i define as libertarian is merely someone who supports the political philosophy of liberty. you can be a member of any party or no party, but i think their is a danger to apply labels to people and say, well, you are members of the libertarian party, therefore this is what you believe. loretta talk about the principles, issues, and we can infiltrate or be members of any party or no party. we should be talking about ideas and affiliations. >> practically when it comes to election time, where does that leave you? jerry johnson for president, the libertarian party candidate, mitt romney, the republican? >> every person has to decide that. considering voting for gary johnson. civil libertarians are disenfranchised with the two-party system. the candid it's the system produced a more attractive find a way to that agitate for liberty. ron paul has been a great person to advance that message. gary johnson is doing his part. many libertarians disagree that a candidate, even a libertarian leanings one would be able t

i don't think the conversation should be about party's principles. libertarian supports liberty. you could be part of the party or no party but there's a danger to apply labels. so this is what you believe. but rather talk about the principles and we could infiltrate to talk about ideas. >>host: at election time is at the view foreboding four gary johnson, mitt romney your barack obama? >> i myself them a strong on paul supporter. i am considering voting for gary johnson. libertarians are disenfranchised with the two-party system and are trying to find the best way to agitate. ron paul was great. gary johnson is doing his part that it many agree that he could be true to its principles once in the system because of the people are so stacked against them that we need to focus on persuasion and allow people to take care of themselves. i know focusing on the presidential election has that this outcome even with ron paul involved other than finding ways to present issues to think about liberty not to legislate or impose liberty but avenues to spread the message more effectively. >>host

and the foundation of principle behind it the libertarian party likes to call itself the party crystal ball and the founding principle behind a libertarian party is what's called a non-aggression principle and what their principle states and by the way it's the only political party that requires that you take an oath to join you are required to swear or affirm that you do not believe in the initiation of force to obtain political or social goals well initiation of force is pretty clear if i hold you down and beat you with a stick i've obviously initiated force if i pollute the land and water that you that you live upon with about your permission and nobody in their right mind would grant that of course then i have initiated force so what the libertarians that are running for office seem to have some problems and the party seems to have some problems in general with some of its policies is dead it talks a really nice game about to being the party of principle but when you get down to it the difficulty is that you have to apply this principle evenly otherwise you're just talking up all s

and he is also the libertarian party nominee for president in 2012. governor john said, when and why did you leave the republican party and become a libertarian? >> you know, i've probably been a libertarian my entire life. this is just kind of coming out of the closet. i don't think i am unlike most americans. i think there's a lot more americans in this country that declare themselves libertarians as opposed to voting libertarian. so the picture and trying to make right now is vote libertarian with me this one time. give me a shot at changing things. and if it does somewhere, you can always return to tyranny and i'm going to argue that so so we have right now. >> what are the seven principles of good government you read about? >> one as being reality-based. just find out what his wife, base your decision inactions i'm not. make sure everybody that knows -- that should know what you're doing, knows what you're doing, so communicate. don't hesitate to deliver bad news. there's always time to fix things. if you don't have a job you love enough to get r
