Well, aside from disagreeing with a number of his stances, I also fail to see the point in wasting a vote on someone who has no chance whatsoever of winning. I'm concerned enough with the immediate course of our nation, that I want to get someone in office who can make the quick, solid adjustments necessary to get us heading back in the right direction. Even if my candidate of choice doesn't propose nor implement enough of a departure from the current status quo to completely satisfy what I am seeking, at least it will be a first step. Somebody like Johnson is proposing a wild leap, not simply an adjustment, and that is why I doubt he will ever garner much support on the national level.

Besides the point of this being about Gary Johnson, its depressing that you and MILLIONS of other American's have this view on the "other" parties that are running as candidates.

Case in point, Ross Perot. He was an Independent and received a HUGE amount of votes in 1992. I even believe he won a couple states. Point is, ALL candidates have a fair chance, if people would actually vote for what they believe in and what, and not just the "2 party system". I personally find it frustrating that the debates don't include the other candidates. I firmly feel there should be more equal media coverage.

Perot was the paranoid asshole who siphoned enough votes to hand Bill Clinton the Presidency. I've never forgiven him.

Gary Johnson has my vote. Romney will be losing anyway.

My party told me that I'd be wasting my vote if I don't vote for one of the two media approved and endorsed parties.
