Leave the asshole opinions elsewhere for a change,if you don't want to listen to the guy then don't,but please don't be a prick and leave idiotic replies.Some of us actually are interested in voting for him.

Thanks for posting his interview, in my opinion he should be included in the Presidential Debates.

the dems would never allow it, I am not sure Romney would either, but he should if asked.

Warrior does this every time someone posts something he doesn't like. He has asshole syndrome so just get used to it and ignore him...

No. I will not ignore. I'd rather humiliate.

 

[Dissent]

That sounds better.

 

[Shelzin]

That sounds better.

*shrugs*

My goal is to get people who otherwise wouldn't stand up for what they believe in to do so. If a poster is doing that, there isn't much I want to do but say I disagree, agree, or try to understand further what they are saying in order to agree or disagree.

Posts/posters that don't help that goal are not seen as a good thing to me. I will react. I will not ignore unless ignoring is beneficial after I react. Normally it's not more beneficial. Trolling tolls is fun.

 

[Pheonixops]

We need to get him polling at 15% to get into the debates.

That is crucial exposure.

Then after four more years of Obomny, the Libertarian party will be in a position to make a real run in 2016. Hopefully Johnson will still be the man.

First step: get polling numbers to 15%!

Why don't they just use the four highest polling results? That 15% is hard to get prior to the debates. They should at least let them have one debate and then see what the polling numbers are from there.

 

[Pheonixops]

I think Gary will take Ron as VP. I think Ron cares more about the message than becoming president. I think he'd be happy as hell as VP with the country moving toward, regardless who's leading, values that actually make logical sense.

In my opinion, I don't think that Ron will do that. He wants a future for his son in the republican party.

*shrugs*

We'll see.

Don't get me wrong, I would like to think he would endorse Gary Johnson.

What makes you think that the dems wouldn't allow it? Isn't the popular "conservative"/republican assertion, is that "a vote for Johnson, is a vote for Obama"?

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson: I’m a non-interventionist, not an isolationist – April 20th, 2012

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson says he supports limited military involvement abroad, but he says that doesn’t make him an interventionist.

Johnson has caught heat for comments he made to the Daily Caller earlier this month about when the president ought to employ military forces, saying he’s open to keeping bases open in Afghanistan and supports efforts to capture African bad guy Joseph Kony. That lead Reason to question whether Johnson’s foreign policy was libertarian at all.

Yeah. No.

I'm surprised that you don't even know who Gary Johnson is. I figured a "freedom loving conservative American" like you would be an admirer of his.

not for me. when push comes to shove a guy like me who's a con. cum libertarian, I know deep down Gary hasn't a shot, unlike last time where in I wrote in Ron Paul because they both sucked, this time I may not be able to afford myself the luxury of a protest vote, so who's closer to a con. viewpoint? Not obama.

Let's be honest, the real answer is NEITHER. Romneycare............................................
Here's a sample of Ryan actual voting record:
It appears that when Paul Ryan’s party is doing the spending, raising debt limits, and acting unconstitutionally… Ryan goes with the flow.

Congressman Ryan’s actual record leaves much to be desired.

The issue Ryan is most known for is his interest in cutting the deficit and balancing the budget.

But why did the Congressman vote to bail out the auto industry, to pass the Medicare package to the tune of $400 billion, and to nationalize education via No Child Left Behind?

Paul Ryan on Bailouts and Government Stimuli
-Voted YES on TARP (2008)
-Voted YES on Economic Stimulus HR 5140 (2008)
-Voted YES on $15B bailout for GM and Chrysler. (Dec 2008)
-Voted YES on $192B additional anti-recession stimulus spending. (Jul 2009)

Paul Ryan on Entitlement Programs
-Voted YES on limited prescription drug benefit for Medicare recipients. (Nov 2003)
-Voted YES on providing $70 million for Section 8 Housing vouchers. (Jun 2006)
-Voted YES on extending unemployment benefits from 39 weeks to 59 weeks. (Oct 2008)
-Voted YES on Head Start Act (2007)

Paul Ryan on Education
Rep. Ryan went along with the Bush Administration in supporting more federal involvement in education. This is contrary to the traditional Republican position, which included support for abolition of the Department of Education and decreasing federal involvement in education.

-Voted YES on No Child Left Behind Act (2001)

Paul Ryan on Civil Liberties
-Voted YES on federalizing rules for driver licenses to hinder terrorists. (Feb 2005)
-Voted YES on making the PATRIOT Act permanent. (Dec 2005)
-Voted YES on allowing electronic surveillance without a warrant. (Sep 2006)

Paul Ryan on War and Intervention Abroad
-Voted YES on authorizing military force in Iraq. (Oct 2002)
-Voted YES on emergency $78B for war in Iraq & Afghanistan. (Apr 2003)
-Voted YES on declaring Iraq part of War on Terror with no exit date. (Jun 2006)
-Voted NO on redeploying US troops out of Iraq starting in 90 days. (May 2007)

Congressman Ryan supports the United Nations, the World Trade Organization, federal bailouts, increased federal involvement in education, unconstitutional and undeclared wars, Medicare Part D (a multi trillion dollar unfunded liability), stimulus spending, and foreign aid.

According to Michelle Malkin in 2009, “[Paul Ryan] gave one of the most hysterical speeches in the rush to pass TARP last fall; voted for the auto bailout; and voted with the Barney Frank-Nancy Pelosi AIG bonus-bashing stampede. Milwaukee blogger Nick Schweitzer wrote: ‘He ought to be apologizing for his previous votes, not pretending he was being responsible the entire time, but I don’t see one bit of regret for what he did previously. And I’ll be damned if I’m going to let him get away with it’.”


What's the big difference between the four candidates?

Sorry man, am on my iPad now,can't type a lot...... I agree with some of those and disagree with many as well, but, at the end of the day, RR is more closely aligned wih my views than OR any day.

Yeah. No.

Yeah... Every politician has at least one of those. Well... Every politician has at least god knows how many... But some certainly have more than others. Gary is doing alright for himself.
