Let's give a big round of applause to those who are planning on voting their principles......

Obama is leading the cheering section.

White House Dossier: 

 Poll Suggests Johnson Could Hand Election to Obama

A new Zogby poll suggests that Libertarian Party nominee Gary Johnson could throw the presidential election to President Obama, with the anti-government candidate taking enough votes from Gov. Mitt Romney to give Obama a narrow edge.

In a survey of 798 likely voters conducted August 31 through September 3, Zogby found that if Johnson’s name was not mentioned, Obama and Romney were basically tied, with Obama receiving 43.8 percent of the vote, Romney getting 43.5 percent, and 12.7 percent undecided.

Spoiler?

But throw Johnson’s name in and the numbers shift toward Obama is a way that could swing what is expected to be one of the closest elections ever.
Obama now gets 42.7 percent of the vote compared to 41 percent for Romney, with 4.3 percent backing Johnson and 12 percent unsure.  read the rest

 

Let's talk about Gary Johnson and voting our "principles"...

whatever that means.

In the interest of fairness, allow me to post two opposing views on the upcoming election.

There are those, like Bungalow Bill, who demand we vote our principles.  That means not voting for either Obama or Romney because they're two sides of the same coin - or something. 

Yet Republicans think they have some right, a holier than thou attitude, as their own presidential candidate did exactly what Obama did. As well, Republicans don't want to take any responsibility at all in the equation as Obamacare goes back to 1994 when the Heritage Foundation and the Republicans introduced it as an alternative to Hillarycare.

Oh, but it's good theater for the lazy American sheeple who don't want to know the truth about Mitt Romney's brand of socialism.

Since I don't like Democrat socialism, Republican socialism is just as offensive, which is why I invite you to look at Gary Johnson for president.  Bungalow Bill

I like Bungalow Bill and while he makes some good points, I have to stick "with the lesser of two evils" and vote for Romney.  The thing is, Gary Johnson or Ron Paul (insert others as appropriate to your situation) are not going to be elected,  Not now, not ever.  If enough people cast a write-in vote for someone other than Mitt Romney, they are casting a vote for Obama.

There are others, like Hack Wilson, who hold the opposite view and articulate it quite well.  I also like Hack. 

Meanwhile, a few sulking libertarians continue to spout the old worn out and empty lines of "LIBERTY" HOPE and "FREEDOM" CHANGE and that "Ron Paul was the real winner". Ron Paul lost, and so will Gary Johnson and so will any other third party candidate that runs for the next fifty years...if our nation lasts that long. Face reality.  Hack Wilson

 Now Alan Keyes has said that a vote for Romney or Obama is turning our backs on God and if he didn't speak up, he would also be turning his back on God.   I like Alan Keyes, too

Bottom line is this.  Obama needs to have his ass thrown out of the White House. We cannot survive four more years of Obama.  Period, end of story.   The only one in the position to do this is Romney and that for me, is the end of the story.

I live in the real world and in the real world there are lots of opinions.  So who's right?  Beats me. I don't have a direct conduit to God's mind.  Does anyone?
