I 100% agree Johnson has the support. I'm talking in general, not specifically about Johnson.If you have the resources and money and supporters to get on the ballot in enough states to win 270 electoral votes is not some random joe.
Money doesn't equal support.
Donald trump could get on every state ballot, but I'd bet 90% of the people who add their signature in each state vote for someone else on election day.
He has the support though. He has the support to get on the ballot and he has the support of people signing a petition to get him on the ballot and to rally for him etc...where do you think 85% of the Ron Paul supporters went to? the other 15% is split between 5% writing in RP 5% supporting Willard 5% not voting.
I have no problem with him being there.. In a free Republic, all voices should be heard to include the Green Party nominee, etc.
Yeah I know...nazi style tactics as usual.If you have the resources and money and supporters to get on the ballot in enough states to win 270 electoral votes is not some random joe.
Btw as it stands right now, Johnson only has a lock on 47 states as the GOP have filed suit to keep him off the ballot in several states.
If there was a method by which Johnson would have been included and he failed to meet the requirements, how is that anti-trust?
Works for me!I have no problem with him being there.. In a free Republic, all voices should be heard to include the Green Party nominee, etc.
Mods... This thread is the same as

Just saying.
If there was a method by which Johnson would have been included and he failed to meet the requirements, how is that anti-trust?
If Gary Johnson wins the anti trust claim does that mean that Jill Stein will be allowed to participate too?
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, "maintains that the Republican and Democratic Parties, through the CPD, indefensibly limit access of other candidates to the marketplace of ideas and the opportunity to be employed in these highest offices in the land, and in so doing are violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890."
[Libertarians] therefore call for the repeal of all "anti-trust" laws, including the Robinson-Patman Act which restricts price discounts, the Sherman Anti-Trust Act, and the Clayton Anti-Trust Act.

Not very libertarian of him:

Ron Paul Supporters Will Appreciate: Gary Johnson Files Anti Trust Claim Against the CPD in the Name of Liberty
In a stunning move sure to bring publicity to his campaign, Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson has filed an anti-trust claim against the National Commission on Presidential Debates. Johnson aims to secure a spot in the debates and give America a real choice in 2012.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, "maintains that the Republican and Democratic Parties, through the CPD, indefensibly limit access of other candidates to the marketplace of ideas and the opportunity to be employed in these highest offices in the land, and in so doing are violating the Sherman Anti-Trust Act of 1890."
The suit was filed within hours of the announcement that only Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and Democratic incumbent President Barack Obama would be allowed to take part in the debates. According the debate website, the commission's purpose is to "to ensure that debates, as a permanent part of every general election, provide the best possible information to viewers and listeners."
How can they fulfill their stated mission if they exclude a viable alternative for the 30% of independent voters in America? That is precisely the question that the Johnson campaign is asking and demanding answers to. In addition, the campaign says that it will be filing more claims in other jurisdictions against the commission. Good for you, Gary Johnson. Be libertarian with me indeed.

o.03%, not 30%, Shelzin. Get your facts right.
And, yes, he should be heard.
