I saw him on TV, I was slightly surprised.

He wants Obama lose (I agree) so he praised Romney, makes sense. “Romney is crap but you must vote for him anyway” may be the consensus but no politician who wants Obama to lose is gonna say that on TV or in a column. Does he believe his own words? Who knows. If he can convince the few people who cares what he thinks in the swing states not to waste their vote on Johnson I say good.

As for 2008, McCain would have needed slightly over half of the Barr vote to win NC by a hair. Possible but there’s the drug and anti-war people who would vote democrat and those that wouldn’t vote at all so maybe not, any recount would have been rat controlled. In any case Osama still wins easily in 2008 without his probably fradulent wins in IN, NC and Omaha.

As for your personal take on Root, I agree, he’s an unctuous used car salesman type who’s ultimate goal is probably to get you to pay for his financial advice.

A lot of people were content to let Obama in but no one wants to be responsible for reelecting this disaster.

>> In those close races, the Libertarian vote ELECTS DEMOCRATS

Well, the Libertarians may have some anti-Romney allies stemming from the Conservative camp.

In principle, I’m a Conservative Pro-Life Libertarian, but registered Republican. Unfortunately, the meaning of Libertarian is all bitched up and perverted by Liberals, Socialists, and Anarchists in denial.

Instead of the delusional third party initiatives, the Grand Ol’ Party should be reclaimed.

White Sox win 3-2 to keep pace with Tigers.
Pirates falling to pieces.

I was hoping to go to Fenway or Yankee Stadium this weekend. Doubtful. Work stress. Maybe NYM vs PITT next THUR.

Are you New to conservatism.
Are you New to the Republican/RINOcracy?
Are you New to the Constitution?
Are are you just New?

It usually pays to research your subject before flaming them.

You must follow Wayne Allen Roots advice. He’s voting for Romney and so should you. Unless you don’t mind more Obama. Anyways if you eliminated marihuana legalization from the Libertine party platform you would lose 75% of your members

I believe Mitt Romney is our Reagan.

Riiiiiiight.

I get that he's not Baraq. But if you're voting for this guy because you think he's conservative, you're smoking that Libertarian wacky weed.

Sounds like a good reason for GOP authoritarians to stop antagonizing libertarians. If they weren't so strident and non-conservative about things like contraband law and the like, they might lose a few less votes...

“I believe Mitt Romney is our Reagan.”

Don’t insult Reagan by comparing him to the extreme left-winger Mittens.

Reagan didn’t win the way He won by demanding mindless obedience, and at this point, I’m asking myself Why I’m discussing this with You.

Mindless, unquestioning obedience got us McCain, which got us Obama, which lowered the bar so far that almost anybody can defeat him, and that’s exactly what we got, ...... generic, RINO branded anybody.

This election shouldn’t be anywhere near as close as the polls are calling it at the moment.

After 3.5 years of Zero, Romney should be showing a comfortable 15 point lead even with the MSM rigging their stupid polls, but he’s not.

So let’s just keep on keeping on with tossing people out of the sleigh as we go in for the Big Win in November. And when we barely pull it out of the fire by the skin of our teeth, we’ll all sit back patting ourselves on the back because WE WON.

If we win.

That’s right. Those Damn, eff**g libertarins screwed us again. They cost us the election, Again. Them and all the Other malcontents we drove off who wanted the Smaller, Constitutional Government our Constitution says we’re supposed to have, because we refused to swallow the Kool Aid.

Romney is our Reagan.

Where you an adult when Reagan was in Office? Did you get to actually Learn from the Master for 8 years watching his addresses?

Damn right people will be pissed at the libertarians if their 3rd party votes for screwball Gary Johnson put Obama over the top in some crucial states. That provide the margin for an Obama electoral college win. We’ll be gunning for you pot head screw-ups.

I was an adult when Reagan was president but I was stupid liberal back then so he did not get my vote. But at least I did not vote for Mondale...I just did not vote for a few years. My advice is don’t repeat my mistake. You can do better than me by voting for the Mormon not the Marxist

I can teach it to you, but I can’t learn it for you.

WHO I’m voting for is in act and fact None of your business, but just so you’ll sleep a little easier at night, I’m going to vote for Ryan and his jerk boss, and I’d made that decision Before being ordered by you to do so.

Sorry but you already let the cat out of the bag. That you would not be voting for Romney/Ryan. So go ahead and be a lazy slacker. Others like me will step up to the plate and work and vote for Romney plus I live in Florida, swing state, so my vote is important

And after Romney wins you will let out a sigh of relief. You will be happy that Obama is getting the boot. But you kept your phony baloney libertarian ideals and voted for Gary Johnson
