It is also identical to writing in your own name at the ballot box. And pretty close to just staying home.

I respect your conviction in your beliefs. Unfortunately, elections are won or lost by the counting of votes, and on that basis all the justification you put into Gary Johnson evaporates when the count is made.

Those are the facts. Anything else is like Quixotic tilting at windmills.

what about liberals who do not like Obama and will vote Libertarian.. is that still a vote for Obama.. or is that a vote away from Obama? It's not like those people would have ever voted for Romney.

No amount of rhetoric will make me vote for Obama or Romney in this election. I'm simply no longer interested in the status quo, which is what we will get with both of them. Both parties are equally interested in taking away freedoms, its one of the only bipartisan supported issues going on now. Romney will not change that, business as usual.

I'm voting Libertarian. If that indirectly makes me vote for Obama, well then so be it.

I really cant believe that voting 3rd party is no better than staying home. So much for personal responsibility and choices in this country.
