Stop blaming others for your members choices.

Sorry, unlike you I do not play follow the leader. I actually do vote for either party and even independent candidates. I do have enough morals to NOT vote for somebody that breaks laws related to National Security. I think we can all agree that the machine behind the scenes for the democrats is a monster unmatched by anything. The antisemitic George Soros has spent his billions very well getting it up and running!

"The fact that somebody can dot the i’s and cross the t’s on a foreign leader or a geographic location then allows them to put our military in harm’s way," Johnson said to a skeptical-seeming Andrea Mitchell.

If you want 3rd party to get a chance for debate, everyone in the list should be in the debate, not just Gary Johnson.

Yep, an idiot that successfully ran New Mexico. Bill Weld an idiot too??? Please find a few more liberal hit pieces to support that "fact."

These aren't opinion pieces man these are actual things he has said and done. If you don't like the actual pages I pulled from google it's not really hard to find a source you do like with the exact same information.

and for the records it's "liberals" that actually say he's the one doing a good job in New Mexico.

Conservative types, like those at the National Review, say his record as governor of New Mexico doesn't show a commitment to cutting spending and taxes. An article published by National Review in late May takes on the details of Johnson's record in New Mexico and points out that spending had increased under his leadership. The article shreds not just his record in New Mexico, but also his platform as outlined on his campaign website, and takes the position, "Never Gary Johnson." Ouch.

The Libertarian-leaning Reason magazine casts a much kinder view of Johnson's time as governor of New Mexico. It reported that Johnson used his power to veto in New Mexico more than 700 times, "...he thinks that's more than all his fellow governors at the times combined — the legislature ultimately has the power of the purse," the Reason article reported.

Where's that post that started "guess this guy didn't get the memo" with a link to a youtube vid. Can't find it, didn't seem something the mods would delete.

Which makes him an "idiot"

His Aleppo flub actually raised awareness. His world leader question was actually answered Vicente Fox from Mexico, but people hate to talk about that. Bill Weld tried to save him, but being a politician of substance he backed off Weld and said he didn't need bailed out.

Gotta hate those idiots who face trials openly and head on. If only he was handed the questions and answers like Trump and Clinton...

Ha! What is there actually to run in NM? Trim some cacti and look at pretty sunsets?

I want a third party at the debate but not dimwit Gary Johnson.

It's not very often that liberals are able to acknowledge what my party stands for or is supposed to stand for. Kudos to you for the level headed post.



While I really wish they would have cut in on this at the beginning of the sentence instead of in the middle what is shown appears pretty damning. It certainly appears to me that she is telling her to what to say. Unbelievably believable.

Your posts span my spectrum of totally agree to totally disagree, Double Ray. A true frenemy.

Seriously, though, I am fairly close with some staunch Republicans. I dislike most Republican politicians, but only disagree with most Republican voters. I can respect the core values. My biggest problem with the party is that some new values are starting to take over that scare me.

Google is as corrupt as Clinton.

Keep reading the leaks everyone. Banks, corporations, corrupt politicians, FBI, DOJ, MSM all corrupt. Eventually the house of cards will fall.

That said (and as a registered Independent), I think the Republicans blew it with Trump. Stick someone out there who is polished and level-headed. Appeal to the issue voters and don't rely on "the sky is falling" rhetoric. It's not working.

So Trump breaks records by receiving the highest amount of votes ever in a republican primary, and you think the GOP should have pushed him aside and placed another person in there?


We already have one party that rigs an election against its own people, we don't need two.

Okay.

The guy is still an idiot.

If there was a legitimate 3rd party candidate with plans that I value, that person would get my vote. As of now (and probably until election), Hillary has my vote.

good thing you don't work in politics. trey gowdey has 37% written all over him. you do know it takes 270 electoral votes to become president, no? just winning SC,AL,MS,GA,LA,TN,AR,KY doesn't cut it. the south lost the war and all...

What is your point here? Are you saying he would only receive votes from white redneck racists?

This is a member of Congress who values the oath that he took. He is one of the few that admits Congress members are doing a terrible job and that they are overpaid as public servants. Your diatribe is cute though.

a perfect example of nothing. boy, critical thinking skills are really down the tubes. i mean, omg, you mean money from saudi arabia gets funneled to isis?! a sunni terror group getting funded by the saudis? it's only been happening in one form or another since the saudis had two nickels to rub together. and the us has been selling them weapons and cooperating on defense matters for decades. you may recall the first gulf war? they were in the coalition and our mutual interests go back further than that.

please, people, the right wing has been trying to destroy hillary for 30 years w/o success and you think one leaked email is going to have some smoking gun? they would have destroyed her by 1994 if it was that easy.

meanwhile, the policy content of these emails is like 8 grade levels above trumps ability to comprehend. his goto on foreign policy is putin. spouts russian propaganda better than vlad himself. just a horribly compromised man. we don't need a russian agent in the white house.
