Gary Johnson

I already voted absentee for Gary Johnson. I am not throwing my vote away. I am voting my conscience, and I can sleep at night, knowing I did not compromise my values for the elitist criminal bankers that now run the country.

Gary Johnson gets my vote either way. I'm 100% in agreement with Robyn, Sharon and Mr. Clemons (I'm a big fan sir!). If the majority of voting Americans spent half as much time reading and/or thinking for themselves as they do watching reality TV, we might be able to get a legitimate 3rd party candidate in office!
As it stands, the majority of our "news" media is so busy pandering to our basest impulses (for ratings) that it's rendered useless. Add to that the epidemic of laziness in the United States and what do you have left? You're stuck with a population that contributes less, takes more and costs the ever diminishing conscientious, working American their individual freedoms along with their money. Perhaps it's naive of me to even assume most people even watch televised reports or the debates at this point! There is more to the disintegration of our country's democratic foundation...but it's a lack of personal integrity and pride that chipped away at it over the last 200+ years. Why else would we continue to elect representatives who simply tell us what we want to hear instead of one that respects us and them self enough to tell the truth? Our republic has gone so far off the rails it might take a pandemic of social/political disgust to affect a lasting change...one that appears on a ballot. Until then, I will continue to vote my conscience, no matter the party. I'll just be buying more Tums too.

Jill Stein gets my vote. What would happen if we ALL refused to vote within the two-party farce?

Jill Stein, Green Party.

If he were available, I'd cast my lot with Joffrey Baratheon. But he doesn't "run" for office and certainly doesn't need votes to be a real leader.

As long as the mentality is that voting Independent is wasted vote, the two rival gangs will continue to exert control over the country. If there's one thing Reps and Dems work together in, it's to keep 3rd parties out. See that list in the article? Are any of those candidates invited to the debates? Why do we think that is? Gary Johnson is getting my vote even though I don't totally agree with all of his policies. He was a governor of a battleground state, New Mexico and has first hand experience dealing with immigration, drug-trafficking and a host of other real-world problems that the two main candidates simply don't have.

Definitely Gary Johnson.

No way am I wasting a vote on Obama or Romney! Neither represent me.
If we ever want real choice and change, we must support 3rd parties. It takes work and time to build these, especially as pointed out, the two rival gangs work together to shut them out. Out of the media, out of the debates, and off the ballot.

I will vote for Jill Stein of the Green Party. Check out their platform at gp.org. They represent me. No wasted vote there.

Seeing red? Feeling Blue? Vote Green!

Way to go, using a photo of Roseanne Barr to represent the side of the election that very people even consider. I'm sure this will make them seriously reconsider it.

Gary Johnson is the only true conservative running.

You can find out more about the Libertarian Party of Pasco County at pascolp.org or Facebook.com/lppasco.

The Libertarian Party of Pasco will also be having a sign wave for Gary Johnson on Friday 10/12/12 in front of the Hollywood 18 movie theatre, after the sign wave we will be going as a group to the Atlas Shrugged at 7:30.

Currently leaning towards Gary Johnson, but I'm not done researching all the candidates.

If only Adlai Stevenson had won the first time we'd be living in Eden, but I guess it's going to be Obama who get my vote.

If I couldn't vote for Romney, I'd vote for Gary Johnson...Libertarian. While I don't agree with all of the Libertarian platform, they're far closer to my beliefs than the socialists/green parties.

This is the reason we hate you 47%, you're unintelligent and have no idea about the real world. You are government dependent and always will be. The quicker your kind dies off the better so I am voting for the guy who is gonna help that cause. You freeloaders and you "gimme gimme mister government" people will hopefully become extinct or at least endangered. That's the reason we hate you 47% how about do for yourself instead of hoping someone will do it for you are give it to you.

Shows how little you know Nazi stands for National Socialism. I just want the perennial freeloaders and do gooders to leave my money alone. you want to save bums you give them YOUR money.

what did the Nazi's do? made everything controlled by the state, medicine commerce etc etc. just like you dirty liberals. have the government take from everyone and dole it out as they see fit. I am for small government, do for yourself living. You cannot succeed then die off we are all better for it... you know nothing you are nothing.

Wow, people are getting a little testy here. I don't need for anyone to drop out of the race to vote for Gary Johnson. He gets my vote anyway.

Indeed Larry. Some poster here [Rollo if I name name] seems to have a diploma in dramaturgy - being so excessive in his finality and ultimatum. Unless he sleeps w/his money and has an acute attachment problem he cannot get rid of.

Samuel you're nuttier than a pet squirrel. You wear tinfoil hats and have a end of the world bunker I bet also. I simply do not want dirty scum liberal trash taking my money, I earned it go earn your own. If you have some you use it and leave mine to me. I do not care about the homeless, the hungry or the sick you care about them i don't have time.

I hope you do too. get on it

Ok

Jill Stein

If I was not going to vote for our President, I would vote for Mr Johnson.

The truth is quite evident--and if you dig deep and try to listen to each other, both main points are correct, as they are not mutually exclusive.
1 - You can vote your conscience (defined in google as "an inner feeling or voice viewed as acting as a guide to the rightness or wrongness of one's behavior") -- in other words, your personal guide to rightness or wrongness, which is broad. So, for one individual, the choice of voting for Gary Johnson, who is purported to be more libertarian & less establishment, may provide what that individual needs to "feel right". For someone like me, I believe that what is most important to my value system, to "feel right" is a) to remove Obama and his awful administration, and b) protect from more liberals on the Supreme Court and remove Obamacare, which is a very intensive and gigantic increase in govt control + funds that may lead to the financial destruction of the US (not unlike Medicare+SS, which is funded and not saved -- so it gets spent immediately rather than used to provide what is promised).
Also true --->
2 - If you vote for a 3rd party candidate (for whatever reason, or for example, it is agreeable with your value system), it absolutely will result in a resulting net +1 vote for the candidate that did not receive your vote. Most talk about Gary Johnson... but you must admit that this vote is a net +1 positive for Obama. Keeping Obama will result in a much, much harder path in 2016 to achieve your anti- establishment goal.

HLL are you kidding me??? That was some serious crap you just piled on lol it was good I gotta hand it to you. Thick too! Break out the high waters! It's flowing thru lol! How about this! We vote for who we want and you vote for who you want and you keep all your propaganda to yourself! BTW Obamacare is a Republican idea and plan so don't even go there!

Romney isn't trustworthy and his ideas are backward. I voted for Gary Johnson instead!

Not sure yet but my vote will go to either Stein or Johnson
