Gary Johnson people! He's like Ron Paul about speaking the truth.. but not nuts

A: Ron Paul would never, ever win. As much as I hate to say it, voting for a 3rd party in the US is a total waste of a vote. B: He's a Libertarian. I'll admit, there are aspects of it that I agree with(legalization of gay marriage, marijuana), but the idea that the country would be better off with no taxes, no regulations on business, no welfare, etc, etc, is ridiculous. Anyone played Bioshock!? There ya go.

I don't agree with most of his views.

I only agree with certain things that he wants, and the things I disagree with out weigh the few that I do.

His foreign policies are ridiculous... I approve of his domestic views however. Why did't I vote for him? Wasted vote. I'd do anything for NObama but that did not work either.... High hopes for Rand Paul though! Also. don't even lecture me on "voting for who you believe in is never a wasted vote! Huzzah!" Grow up.

Because 30% of the time he is the single most intelligent man in American politics. The other 70% of the time he is as crazy as the homeless guy who wears a dress to throw off the aliens who are hunting him.

i live in the netherlands thats why

Age.

Because I'm not allowed to vote in foreign elections.

His economic policies are ridiculous, the disastrous herald of neo-serfdom, which aims to subjugate the one social institution on a global culture scale that can effectively mete social and economic power to the majority. Under Paul, it is true that one would be threatened less by the potential of social repression from agents of elected government. It is also true that one would have far less systematic organization to help curtail or offset the already gross disadvantage they would find themselves in, alone in the “free market.” If that system sounds appealing to you, reread Dickens or modern history. No labor laws, sounds shitty to me. The commoditization and subsequent privatization of every aspect of economic and cultural institutions leading toward the inevitable monopolistic control of global resources and capital, no thanks. Why should we watch the validity of true democratic power wane as strife, enmity and social inequality dramatically increase? Spit out the cool aid. The only thing standing between complete subordination in a new system of vassalage and most of us is legitimate government whose authority comes from the will and power of those represented. Resource revenue flows have been growing globally for decades, some countries have boomed, the people enjoying a real increase in living standards and per capita incomes, others are worse for it, and the suffering of those who are falling behind the rest of the world is the stuff of nightmare. The commonality of countries that avoided this “resource curse” is democratically elected governments with effective checks and balances and the legislative ability to use these increased revenues for the good of the majority. The problem is NOT government; it is the criminals that have so callously sabotaged it for narrow-minded interests and an apathetic and cynical electorate that consistently allows it to happen. I for one am tiring of the view from under the bus.

Because I don't think that I was legally allowed to vote in a foreign election while I'm underage.

Cuuuuz i wasnt 18 at the time? :P

Because he's an idiot.

Because I'm not a citizen of the US silly!

I try but the voting system is so -blam!-ed up it really doesn't matter what the majority wants, just the electoral college bullshit.

'08: Was only 16. '12: Didn't appear on the ballot, only Obama (which was minimized) and Romney (Which was bolded and bigger font). Obama still won in this town by a landslide.

I was only 14 in '08. As for '12, I was too busy with college to either register, or get to a voting booth to vote.

Two reasons: -His ideas are insane and couldn't be done -His ideas dumbed down to realistic goals would hurt people
