COMMENTARY | Could Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson, a former New Mexico governor, play a spoiler role in the 2012 election, especially out west? Most polls aren't even giving him the benefit of the doubt, failing to include him as an option.

But those polls that do include Johnson find him doing surprisingly well. He could tip the balance in several western swing states like Colorado, Nevada and New Mexico. And with every state mattering, that could be the difference in a close race in 2012.

A poll by the group "We Ask America" released on June 26 in Colorado shows

Makes you wonder for sure.

The Mayans or the Bible, or both?

[TribalPrincess2U]

For a state not a country, which I suspect he is now reconsidering. At least he says he is with our views and not 0vomit.

And as I asked before...
IS OBAMA WAITING TO DECLARE HIMSELF THE FIRST MOSLEM PRESIDENT OF THE USA by reverting to Islam if re-elected?

0vomit has to go. This administration has to go or we’re going to wind up with Moslem laws. Don’t doubt me.

[TribalPrincess2U]

If I’m not mistaken they have already got Moslems in place
where they can get away with it.

“0vomit has to go. This administration has to go or we’re going to wind up with Moslem laws. Don’t doubt me.”

I don’t doubt you and the current Roberts Court would condone Obama’s dictate the everyone in the US convert to Islam.

"No. Never heard of him."

Really??

You spend a lot of time on FR, yet passed up the primary debates?

Strange.

[TribalPrincess2U]

What a disappointment Roberts turned out to be. They problably threatened to withhold his epilepsy meds.

[funfan]

Maybe they will double dog cross him and withhold it anyway that would serve him right the little traitor

“Would you prefer that we forget the fact that Romney signed a Socialized Medicine bill into law?”

Realising the circumstance under which he “signed” might be worthwhile.

Massachusetts was going to have HC legislation, regardless of what Romney did.

Do you understand “veto override?” The fact was, anything Romney objected to and vetoed was overridden in less than a month.

On April 12, 2006, Governor Mitt Romney signed the health legislation.[19] Romney vetoed eight sections of the health care legislation, including the controversial employer assessment.[20] Romney also vetoed provisions providing dental benefits to poor residents on the Medicaid program, and providing health coverage to senior and disabled legal immigrants not eligible for federal Medicaid.[21] The legislature promptly overrode six of the eight gubernatorial section vetoes, on May 4, 2006, and by mid-June 2006 had overridden the remaining two.[22]

You surely a truth-seeker. :)

Past it along every chance you get people. So many Romney haters don't know the whole truth about Romney's HC situation. Really pizzes me off.

Has this Johnson fellow signed a Socialized Medicine bill into law on the federal or state level?

Nope.

[OneWingedShark]

You’re premise that Romney=Obama is false.

Is it?

Looks pretty cut and dry to me: Obama = Romney

[citizen]

ummm...Johnson is the candidate for the Romney haters?

[justiceseeker93]

C'mon now, as a political scientist, you should now that PPP polls generally overstate Democrats' percentage of the vote by four points. Unlike others, Rasmussen generally includes only likely voters, which gives his polls much more accuracy. So to say that "PPP leans left like Rasmussen leans right" is typical Beltway Democrat party line talk!

Furthermore, in your enthusiasm for Gary Johnson' candidacy, you fail to point out that support for minor party candidates invariably erodes with the approach of the election.

[09Patriot]

I plan on voting for him..but I doubt it will have any effect.

[Watrfrnt]

Well said my friend, I totally agree…
