I am simply through voting for "the lesser pf two evils" as I see where such votes have gotten us.<br /><br />Gary Johnson, nor the liberty movement by extension will ever get off the ground in so long as voters continue to vote for "the lesser if two evils."<br /><br />In my judgement it is long past time to take a stand for capitalism, liberty, property rights, individualism and against collectivism and the welfare state.<br /><br />The left is smiling upon the Romney voters b because they know that ultimately he advances statism another step forward.

A vote for Johnson is like a vote for Obama. I don't care for Romney but the thought of another four years with the current disaster is unthinkable. This is another vote for the least undesirable candidate.skudrunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07610092853412481236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8549971354391868786.post-16591924601433621442012-06-24T22:16:29.106-04:002012-06-24T22:16:29.106-04:00Oh for sure Steve.

Which he won't be.<br /><br />My contention is it is time to build a third party opposition to the status quo. This year is the best opportunity we have ever seen in recent political history. Gary Johnson is a respected and seasoned politician who is actually different from the pack of liars we are used to.<br /><br />Either get it and get on the train or else accept you'll be in the same spot saying the same stuff four years from now.
