Its tough. I think I align most with Gary, but knowing that he won't win, and knowing that he'll likely take more votes from Romney than Obama makes me not want him in it. I just don't think its worth 4 more years that we can't afford.

yeah, i feel ya.

my thing is i can't see the diff between the d's and the r's anyway, so what the hay?

There's no difference between Obama and Romney, so if you're going to vote you might as well vote Johnson. I'm personally not even going to bother. He should be in the debates though.

Romney can't seriously be as bad as Obama. I'm not going to say he is the best man for the job. He's just the best man who has a shot at getting the job. And I very seriously don't think we can mathmatically afford another term of Obama- from a financial standpoint, and continue to exist as a country. So, I'll got with the lesser of two goods and the lesser of two bads, to avoid the worst case scenario, because the best case scenario isn't remotely likely.

Yeah I understand what you're saying Cody.

"Johnson doesn't have a shot" could wind up being a self-fulfilling prophecy.

@Cody - Can you tell me what actual cuts Governor Romney would make as President? I'm talking baseline cuts in spending, not cuts to proposed increases in certain departments' budgets.

@ Drew- Yep, probably.

@ Kevin- Nope. Not a clue. Hopefully get rid of Obamacare somehow. Again- I'm much more of a libertarian, and Romney won't satisfy what I think needs to happen, but I'm not going to vote for someone else and let Obama just waltz back into another 4 years. THAT can't happen.

So you know he's not going to do anything different, aside from maybe, and that's a big maybe, repeal Obamacare, but you still think it matters somehow to replace Obama? That doesn't make sense. Also, even if Romney does repeal Obamacare, what's he going to replace it with? As the architect of Romneycare I can't see him embracing the free market all of a sudden.
