wasting your vote

[abbott]

people tell me I cant waste my vote on a third party.

I have to make it count and re-elect or not re-elect.

Well you know what I am doing. Fuck the 2 party system.

[BBboy20]

You live in a swing state?

[Adam]

It's not a waste vote even if you live in a swing state. And even if there is one vote in it at the end.

Tactical voting is why the US have a two party system. It's the reason why the UK have a right wing tory government. It's why the green parties and social issue parties are not given any coverage as if they are not on peoples agendas when actually they probably are quite high up.

It starts with your vote. Use it for who you think regardless if there is any chance of getting elected. All it needs is that 'Others' vote to rise every election and we're on the right track.

Fuck the mainstream.

that's basically my logic...i voted for nader last time, i'll probably do third party again this year

though tbh i can't say it's not because i live in massachusetts where obama is almost certainly not going to lose (scott brown notwithstanding...). if i was one of the floridians who voted for nader in 2000, i'd feel just awful

not saying they did the wrong thing, a lot of other bullshit happened there too...i'm just saying that if i was one of them, i'd feel awful about that whole 8 years of bush thing

isidewith.com ... I side 73% with Gary Johnson. I took the test honestly.

Last election I wrote in Gary Johnson, so I will not pass on the opportunity to vote for him. Loved seeing that I tested out with the way a plan on acting.

[abbott]

Gary Johnson ? Arizona?


I dont understand this, you are not suggesting that Johnson is of Arizona?

[YoungRemy]

yes? i am not suggesting that.

I was calling your shot and seeing if Arizona is your current state.

why do he and Ron Paul flip flop between the Republican and Libertarian Party so much?

[abbott]

not Arizona for me,

I think Gary Johnson was never a republican but he wanted to win as Governor so he did what he had to do.

He would be labeled as republican as a presidential candidate, but the republican party wanted to support someone else.

I don't see Gary Johnson flip flopping on anything. I see him doing what he says and doing what hes got to do to get it done.

I dont know enough about Ron Paul to comment.

[abbott]

I think America is not ready for someone that does what they say, and that is Johnson biggest problem.

I see our political system and the Bachelor Pad to be very similar. Johnson would have never made it on Bachelor Pad either.

Online Town Hall Wednesday with Governor Gary Johnson, the Libertarian Party presidential Nominee


Wednesday, Sept 19, 2012
4:30 PM PDT/ 5:30 PM MDT/ 6:30 PM CDT/ 7:30 PM EDT

With the election drawing near, I want to make sure you have ample opportunities to communicate directly with me about the campaign, the issues that are on your mind, and any questions you may have.

To that end, on Wednesday night, I will be hosting an online Town Hall – and I hope you will join me. From the events of recent days in the Middle East, Libya, and Afghanistan to the ongoing efforts of the Republican Party and Mitt Romney to prevent my name from appearing on ballots across the nation, we have a lot to talk about, and I am anxious to hear your views and answer any questions you might have.

The next few weeks are going to be exciting – and historic. You are a part of that history, and it is important that we stay in close touch. This online Town Hall will be an excellent opportunity.

This town hall will be featured on Vokle.com. To ask questions via video or text, simply sign into your Facebook account or sign up for a Vokle account. If you just want to watch the town hall, go to www.GaryJohnson2012.com.







Again, go to www.GaryJohnson2012.com Wednesday evening for what I am sure will be a great discussion.

Hope to see you online!

Gov. Gary Johnson

I am not happy with the way Obama has handled the foreign crisis. Our ambassador gets sodomized and his body is dragged through the streets and then Obama says my thoughts are with you…….. and then heads off to Vegas to party with Beyonce and Jay Z.

I don’t know who the heck to vote for!

[YoungRemy]

the reports of the rape of Chris Stevens have not been confirmed. I would rather hear it from a legitimate news source instead of a state run Libyan press agency that falsely attributed the story to the AFP.

Obama was present when the four slain Americans were returned to America, but I wouldn't believe everything you see coming out of the right wing blogosphere.

not that I think you are Jo, but I have plenty of friends in the South that eat this stuff up as I assume you do as well.

as for the fundraising, you can blame Citizens United on that. the Democrats don't have the SuperPAC's that the GOP does and they have to rely on power celebrities for some of their major fundraising efforts.

that being said, would you rather have a guy who wants to repeal Roe vs Wade?

is it safe to say that voting for Ralph Nader put George Bush in the White House?

[JoLovesMCA]

Well I do try and watch all news sources so that way I am getting information from both sides. And yes being from Texas I know we are likely to hear more conservative viewpoints..… but I did vote for Obama last time. It’s not that I don’t like him but I am questioning a lot of his policies...

That said, I see a lot of HOLES in this administration and a lot of lies. Even if Mr. Stevens was not sodomized he was still murdered. This was an attack on the anniversary of 911. You’d think there would be better security for our American officials? And the fact that they downplay the attack as spontaneous over a youtube video is crazy. Libya’s own leader said it was planned and now our White House secretary says so too…. I think we have a bunch of cover-up for a FAILED job. They are embarrassed. I’d be too.

It’s sad that Obama has to focus on all of Hollywood because a lot of people don’t take him serious because of that.

But it’s okay, I don’t get offended too much the way a lot of people do. I like a good debate...I am not Republican nor Democrat because while I am pro-choice I am also against the church being forced to give money to planned parent hood. Hmmm I could go on all day about this, I am heavily invested in this campaign.
