Just because President Barack Obama and former Gov. Mitt Romney capture all the headlines doesn’t mean they’re the only candidates on the Nov. 6 ballot in the race for the White House.
In Florida, 10 other contenders have their names on ballot, each hoping for enough votes to win the state – or at least pull off a respectable showing. These candidates represent a number of third parties, each with their own distinct agendas.
Here’s a look at who else you’ll see on the Nov. 6 ballot:
- Thomas Robert Stevens, Objectivist Party
- Gary Johnson, Libertarian Party
- Virgil H. Goode Jr., Constitution Party
- Jill Stein, Green Party
- Andre Barnett, Reform Party
- Roseanne Barr, Peace and Freedom Party
- Tom Hoefling, American Independent Party
- Ross C. "Rocky" Anderson, Justice Party
- Stewart Alexander, Socialist Party USA
- Peta Lindsay, Party for Socialism and Liberation
Imagine, if you will, that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney pulled out of the race and you couldn't vote for them.
Would you cast your vote in favor of comedian Roseanne Barr? Maybe you'd throw your lot in with Gary Johnson. Perhaps you're already planning to go with a third-party nominee? Sound off by letting us know which third-party candidate you'd choose if the Republicans and Democrats weren't a factor on Nov. 6. Speak your mind in the comments section.
We all can vote for someone else than A or B, i.e. for anyone other than the 2 choices provided in the header who also happen to be the lesser evil [depending on one or the other major party]. The only way one can stop evil is stopping to vote for it.
Do they have heallth care and education there? Might be a good idea? Immigrants to China....hmmm...
Google Markus Wolf and Homeland Security. Heard of "The Brown Shirts?" What do you think the TSA is.....your protector? You are living in a current Nazi style regime and you seem to want to defend it. Turn your anger toward those causing the problems, not our fellow countrymen. All must exit the Left/Right world. They are using Divide and Conquer and Class warfare to keep us from uniting. Ole Bob knew what he was talking about: www.youtube.com/watch?v=3HXzm-kFgPw "They don't want to see us unite........all they want us to do is keep fussing and fighting"
.......... While I agree the question from S. Lenon is badly [very biaised] posit, nonetheless she's asking who would be one's pick as possible presidential candidate. Is this what you mean, that Johnson would be your presidential pick as a second choice & place holder?
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.
