I simply called you out for making a straw man argument.  Why don't you just stop doing that instead of crying every time?

Why don't you stop acting like a bully? Is that all you have? Insults? The mighty great debater too smart for all us peons, wins arguments by insulting people, good job buddy

Gary Johnson is having a 2nd town hall appearance on CNN on Wednesday. If Gov. Romney decides to endorse the Johnson/Weld ticket, that should be enough to propel them to the 15% threshold and into the debates.

Romney? Why the hell would an endorsement by a loser give him a boost?

Don't misunderstand, I think he should be on the ticket, but Romney? I just find it funny

So the two losers that couldn't beat Obama are gonna endorse him? If I was him, I wouldn't want either of their endorsements, lol

Fact is, Hillary is a continuation of Obama, if you like him, you'll love her, people didn't choose Romney or McCain over Obama so I don't see them choosing Johnson over Hillary or Trump, it's a long shot when you pick losers to endorse tickets, (that's why Bernies endorsement of Hillary means next to nothing as well)

I just bet $10 on Gary Johnson at 320 to 1. So hopefully he wins a state, throws the electoral college into deadlock and the House of Reps chooses him to be President based on the FACT that Trump and Hillary both suck.

Johnson might also suck, but at least if he does I get 3 grand.

She's not a communist. I find it funny how people throw that word around so carelessly. Johnson has some good policy positions, and many terrible ones, as do all Libertarians.

Republicans have mastered pandering to poorly educated white people (and of course the wealthy), and exploiting their fears. I don't think they have to be so hard-line religious to get the vote of rednecks though. They just have to pronounce that they are religious, as demonstrated by Trump, despite all evidence to the contrary. Believers like to believe shit..

They would probably get a lot more support if they didn't advocate unconstitutional theocratic authoritarianism. It's funny that they do this while condemning the Muslims for doing the same. You'll see a guy like HU, talking about the horrors of Sharia Law, while proclaiming his desire for Christian law to be implemented in the US.

I just read that Johnson wants to eliminate income taxes on businesses.  I don't see that as making a lot of sense in practical terms.  I would have a lot more sympathy for the Libertarian ethos if they weren't so conservative on so many key issues.  It is also unrealistic to think government can be shrunk to the level they would like to see.  In the modern world, government has a minimum size it can be, and at this point, it's rather sizable.  Libertarians just strike me as a little off-base and unrealistic when it comes to some of their policies.

I figured we should have a Gary Johnson thread, since he is the only 3rd party candidate with ballot access in 50 states, and I believe he has just recently polled at 12%, which means he is nearing debate eligibility.

Gary Johnson has chosen Gov. William Weld as his VP. This could get very interesting. I think lots of Bernie supporters may be willing to support Johnson, and I also think lots of disgruntled Republicans would be happy to support him.

Here is a little clip from Rachel Maddow on the topic. Look, he's even getting MSM coverage! lmao

Gary Johnson is by no means my ideal candidate. I like him more than Clinton and Trump though. So there's that.

Libertarianism, as a philosophy in modern politics, is generally a compromise between left and right wing politics. This means that the Libertarian party could potentially split the vote on both ends of the spectrum, and we could still have a very competitive race.

It is too late to revive the third parties at the time, and which a lot of people on this site has already known about these candidates months ago.. What is going on is that the Democratic party is trying to prevent Bernie's supporters from crossing over to the Trump party. And so they are in panic mode. That even obama is trying to hurry up to infiltrate the U.S. with the members of ISIS by September 11th; and so that if Trump wins the election, that the world will be in a bigger disaster than it ever has been, that it will make a fool out of Trump and plus obama wants to celebrate the September 11th disaster with real muslims from the mother-land.
