aren't libertarians anti war?
Founding Fathers were these great anti-establishment revolutionaries
Well you should, because the first 100 years of our country and the beginning of your party is rooted in "Libertarian propaganda".
The Whiskey Rebellion, or Whiskey Insurrection, was a tax protest in the United States beginning in 1791, during the presidency of George Washington. Farmers who sold their grain in the form of whiskey had to pay a new tax which they strongly resented. The tax was a part of treasury secretary Alexander Hamilton's program to pay off the national debt.
I'm with you, I can't imagine any Ron Paul supporters voting for obama. That makes ZERO sense. I can see writing in Ron Paul, but there are enough states that don't allow write-in candidates that a vote for Gary Johnson would be more effective.

No it wasn't. America was founded on all things anti-libertarian.
Involuntary military service, taxes, and slavery.

OK, here are some examples of Paulites jumping to Obama. I could find more but I think this is enough to back up my claim.
Example 1
Example 2
Example 3
Good examples, my favorite is this one;
"Obama would then be the only rational choice"
Don't get me wrong, I wasn't trying to say you were incorrect. But, how anyone who supported Ron Paul could make a statement like the one above is beyond me, it makes ZERO sense.
I hear they have divided voting into two days this year to avoid any confrontations. Voting for candidates other than obama will be on Nov 6th. Voting for obama will take place on Nov 7th followed by a free buffet and white house recipe "herbal brownies", be sure to spread the word.
Well there is our answer as to why so many are going to the left! I am a proud member of the GOP. Full Fledged establishment, what you would call a RINO.
I most likely will vote gary Johnson but if I feel it's a wasted vote I just might vote Obama out of spite just to keep jjr2d2 and Romney from turning this country into a fascist police state along with their lying, cheating chicken hawk unprincipled behavior that reaks of elitist demaguogery.
JIM ABRAMS, Associated PressObama Signs Patriot Act
WASHINGTON — Minutes before a midnight deadline, President Barack Obama signed into law a four-year extension of post-Sept. 11 powers to search records and conduct roving wiretaps in pursuit of terrorists.
"It's an important tool for us to continue dealing with an ongoing terrorist threat," Obama said Friday after a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy
“The fact that I support this bill as a whole does not mean I agree with everything in it,” the president said in a statement. “I have signed this bill despite having serious reservations with certain provisions that regulate the detention, interrogation and prosecution of suspected terrorists.”Obama Signs NDAA
Worse, the NDAA authorizes the military to detain even US citizens under the broad new anti-terrorism provisions provided in the bill, once again without trial.
