Gary Johnson would have a chance if people voted solely on issues and not Party Brand

http://www.examiner.com/article/gar...-most-influential-factor-for-romney-and-obama

To be honest I think people should start voting on what they believe in rather than being fanboys and fangirls to a political party. But then again what do I know.

 

He ran as a GOP during the primaries and the "party brand" did him no good. No one was interested. He got clobbered and now is just trying to act as a spoiler. We're down to a choice of Obama and Romney. Reality is what it is.

 

You seem to be confused as to the concept of a "choice." The choice is whoever a person decides to choose. Johnson is on the ballot in every state. He is a choice.

 

Voting for a candidate who has already lost and is no longer viable is not a choice if you are serious about constraining the growth of government and debt. Pragmatism dictates the only two candidates are Obama and Romney.

 

Funny thing is as much as people preach about how great he is....there is no proof at all that Romney would shrink government....just more lies from him that you guys eat up...

 

That is really funny^^. Neither of your "two choices" have any history of doing that. They are both for big government and government powers. If the conservatives would have payed attention during the primaries instead of worrying about how churchy the others were, they would have realized that Gary Johnson was the only candidate with executive government experienced that has a track record of being fiscally conservative. Look at his experience and his proven track record, how could anyone that is serious about constraining the growth of government and debt stand behind any other candidate without holding a puke bag? If you guys would have supported him instead of th likes of Herman Cain, Michelle Bachman, and Rick Perry; the election would already be in the bag.

 

Actually, Jon Huntsman also had a fiscally conservative, two-term governorship, and Utah was rated the best managed state in the country while he was governor.

 

And the Republicans rejected him because he doesn't believe that Adam and Eve road around on dinosaurs.

The RNC has already proven without a shadow of the doubt that they, not you, make the choice. They pushed Romney this time around as did their crony friends at Fox. Of course, I'm being nice as I say this since I believe it is much worse than that. Based on their Chicago style politics all throughout the primaries and caucuses, I believe they are fully capable of jury rigging.

It is not he who votes who counts, but he who counts the votes it seems.

 

There are lots of conspiracy theorists among the GJ/RP crowd. Gary Johnson lost, but they refuse to accept it.

 

I'll take a chance on him shrinking government as opposed to knowing Obama will not.

See the difference?

 

They believe that this time it will be different.

Wait, ...........isn't that what they believed last time, and the time before that, and the time before that, .....................

....well rumor has it he is up 40 points in Imaginationland and looks to be the clear cut victor this November.

In Realville however.....he is going to be lucky to get 5% of the vote....and is going to lose in massive landslide fashion.....just like every Third Party candidate US in history.

Governing is a team game. Without a party a President is the Maytag repairman.

 

Gary Johnson will get my vote. However I know he has no chance. Hell most will not even know who he is unless he gets in to the debates and gets national exposer. I will vote for him simply because I feel he is the best man for the job. That is the whole purpose of voting.

Romney has done more harm to the 2nd that obama with his signing of the assault weapons ban. Other than that, both will grow the government, continue spending at a record pace and try to take over the world via our children in combat. There really is no choice....its a sham. I will vote for whom I want while I still at least have a voice, even if that voice is drowned out by tyranny.

 

John Huntsman was by far my favorite republican candidate. It's a shame he didn't win. He just wasn't obnoxious enough to appeal the the Republican base.

 

It doesn't take a conspiracy theories to read the newspaper and see all of the last minute rules changes, delegate stripping, and lawsuits filed over voter intimidation. Try again using honesty instead of the appeal to ridicule fallacies.

 

But it's not even a chance. He has a record that proves he won't.

 

Honestly, he was my favorite too. I hope he runs again in 2016 and gets a bigger name for himself.

 

He wasnt the GOP choice as he isnt a corrupt piece of (*)(*)(*)(*).

 

He's a smart dude, don't agree with him on everything but could have seen myself voting for him over Barry.

He's too smart for the GOP though, they like special interest puppets and whoever the media picks out for them.

 

Lol there's no conspiracy theory, the RNC's blatant fraud is well known. It's caused many high ranking Republicans, like Maine Gov. Paul LePage, to skip the convention in protest.

 

He *lost* because he belonged to a corrupt two party system where you have two parties controlled by wall street.

 

Romney and Santorum "deciding" the Iowa vote wasnt a conspiracy Rove admitted to such on National TV. Maine not allowing the votes of an entire county because of a few inches of forecasted snow < in MAINE> isnt a conspiracy. Maine losing its entire delegation at the last minute and being replaced with Romney idiots isnt a conspiracy. The hijinks in Nevada are well documented.. Shall i go on?
