I like Gary Johnson.

We just need to get rid of democracy. Democracy doesn't work. The best system is gerontocracy.

Back in my day, we had to walk ten miles just to cast a ballot, and we liked it! The fresh air, the pretty girls, and the street vendors made it all worthwhile. There was this one street vendor who sold nothing but apple pies, which we called Patriot Pies, because there was nothing French about 'em! Speaking of crusty fruits, my former boss called the other day to tell me that he found the Watercress file. But I never liked salad anyway, so I told him to take it back and bring me a steak, rare, like a smile from my ex-wife, may the worms take her. I prefer dry flies, but live bait will catch fish just as well, and there are many more fish in the sea, which every sailor knows, but a girl in every port isn't just a rumor, I'm telling you, when our ship pulled into Oklahoma City, it was two girls for every boy, and we used to ride our surfboards to work, uphill, and both ways, but don't think for a moment that we were all sissy boys, we was all getting our fair share, and then some, in spite of what Hoover might have wanted otherwise, him and his g-men snooping around and trying to dig up dirt on Kennedy. So what if he was banging Monroe? Who wasn't back then? I'm telling you, when that skirt flew up, every man-jack stood at attention and saluted, because that's what every red-blooded American boy was supposed to do, because Marilyn was the New Lady Liberty, which meant freedom, which is democracy, and that's why we vote!

Now, gitt offah mah lawn!

I'm not voting. I would vote for Gary Johnson but he doesn't have a chance in hell of winning, especially here in Tennessee. Mitt Romney will win my state hands down.

I'm not really sure who will win. It seems like Obama has a slight edge. But it doesn't matter that much. Their policies are just about the same. Though I rather have four years of Obama than potentially eight years of Romney.

You should still vote for Gary Johnson, anyway. If nothing else, at least you'd be honest with your vote.

Not to mention, if Johnson gets at least 5% of the national vote, then the Libertarian Party will be up for more funding and representation in 2016.

how can their policies be "just about the same" when one touts obamacare while the other says he will kill it?

Even though I describe myself as "fiscally conservative and socially liberal," why are the members of this site so in favor of Obama?

You bring up one issue where the supposedly differ. Wow.

I didn't change my address in time anyway.

Id say Howard Stern for president!

Obamacare is Romneycare.

Most people here dislike Romney so it's more a vote against him than anything. There are a few true believers of Obama here but not that many. The media narrative at the moment is that Romney and Obama represent these diametrically opposed ideologies and if you don't vote for candidate A then candidate B will win.

This is sadly true, and the right wingers do it as well. They prop Obama up as some reincarnation of Hitler and even though most of them dislike Romney, they'll vote for him simply because they hate Obama way more.
