You misunderstand me. It's not the main parties doing it to the Libertarians, nor is it a conspiracy. They are doing it themselves!

Here's the link of Johnson spitting in the face of fellow libertarians and throwing a hissy fit: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2...

Here's a link to James Weeks stripping on stage to many boos: http://www.mrctv.org/blog/candidate-l...

All the libertarian had to do was act like an adult and they would have made HUGE gains this election cycle. But they are shooting themselves in the foot.

Interesting observation. I would add that it looks like Hilary's only interest is personal power. She didn't seem to care about Benghazi much either. She just has that LOOK

Three polls now show Gary Johnson with 10% or more of the vote. The Morning Consult poll shows him taking more votes from Hillary than from Trump.

"The only people to blame for the Libertarian's lack of success is themselves."

You feel the monopoly power that the statist party holds on nearly every facet of the election process and crushes any third party competition is inconsequential compared to the poor taste of one member of the Libertarian party.
Rubbish.

The statists will do ANYTHING to eliminate competition from a Libertarian party that supports freedom. So as they always do, they blow up anything trivial they can that distracts people from the real issues: individual liberty and free markets that the Libertarians support and the statists abhor and destroy at every opportunity.
While I don't particularly like Weld and I think the near-naked dance is foolishness in that setting, these incidents are nothing compared to the acts of HRM Donnie and Her Liarness Hillary.
Distraction by unimportant incidents serves the statists and their media lapdogs will keep promoting this rubbish until they are replaced by ethical men and women.
Don't be distracted.
Examine the details before you react to a media headline.

The economy is doing great -- except for 1/3 of the population.

Hidden in the report was a continuing actual loss of manufacturing jobs. My small company has 5 minimum wage workers that help us compete with the Chinese. At $15/hr minimum wage, we will get rid of two of them and buy more assemblies from China. That will add to the loss in manufacturing jobs as soon as we can.

The pending collapse has been set by the lack of rational thinking. I think that statism is the norm throughout human history and the US was more a specific reaction to the monarchy of England than a real declaration of basic human rights. It took 250 years for statism to creep back in, and without a firm base in individualism, statism will take over. As proof of this hypothesis, I note the support of the young people for outright sanders socialism and the support for hildebeast from the older ones and minorities. I am voting for trump to at least slow down the advance of statism for a few years anyway

It's because Gary Johnson and the libertarian party are shooting themselves in the foot. For example, at the libertarian convention recently you had one of the vice presidents (a big fat guy, no less) LITERALLY strip up on the stage.

Or for another example, as an act of support a high ranking Libertarian gave Johnson a replica of George Washington's muzzle loading pistol, which was that guy's favorite possession. So what did Johnson do? He threw it in the trash.

The only people to blame for the Libertarian's lack of success is themselves.

He probably was not a registered Dumbocrap, so what happens to him is the Republicrats fault anyways. So blame them, not his Highness...

True, in total disregard to what is really happening, the May jobs report poked a hole in that theory. Now they need to make up a new story. Idiots.

Trump and sanders have sown the seeds for the end of the establishment parties in years to come. The establishment will probably force the evil witch Hillary on us this time, but she will never be my presudent and I may just leave the us

At least trump will tell us when the emperor has no clothes. We need that for a change. A non politician. Johnson has no chance to be elected and couldn't do anything good if he were. The real danger is the evil witch Hillary. All she wants is POWER

Tell it to the guy who was making $125,000 a year plus benefits who after 24 months out of work, settled for assistant manager at a super market for $35,000 per year, for the fringes. His wife works at a entry level job, but he gets the fringes since he has two kids. He's employed -- if you can call it that. He told me that he's not going to tear up his Masters Degree, he's having it embalmed.

Translation: it's election year the democrats want you to think the economy is great so you will vote for the evil witch Hillary so she can bail out her corporate supporters when things go south

Our illustrious President is obviously living in a fantasy world in his own mind. I am actually embarrassed to even call him our President, I mean, how could we have voted for this guy, not just once but twice? I am so glad I left the military long before all this hit the fan. I really think we are in a lot of deep do-do with the available candidates. A bombastic reality TV host, a noted liar and national security scofflaw or just an all around flake in Gary Johnson.

I disagree. He is an agent of destruction because he IS a pathetic incompetent. His 8 years have been a shining example of Ayn Rands perception: Total ignorance of facts, manipulation of media, installing "his" people in positions of power (Lois Lerner, that idiot AG whats his name followed by the equally stupid whats her name, Clinton (SS), Kerry, etc). He just keeps running the same bull headed crap he is told too by his masters, since when elected, he had no idea what he was going to do, because he had no preparation and cannot listen to anyone whose skin is a shade lighter than coffee. I am not racist, but his government sure appears to be.

Gary Johnson suffers from a lack of perception on the part of the masses. My wife will not vote for a Libertarian because they advocated legalizing pot. Now, that is reality, but she still perceives them as "Liberal" and not having a sense of the need to control the crazies that inhabit our country. Given the current crop of idiots on both sides foisted on us as candidates, logic dictates that the Libertarian time to try to fix this mess has come. Short of a complete Reboot of America, it would seem we can only try a different brand. Overcoming both the rabid dedication factor (all the idiots who will vote for HillaryBeast even if she had a dead dismembered child strapped to her chest) and the other crowd (who will vote for Trump because he is the only one who can save us (he said so), and he is a Republicrat and I only vote for a Republicrat), it leaves a pool of possibly 50% of the voting population left. 50% of that group will only vote for someone who offers the most free stuff, no matter what party they are (they do not believe in party loyalty, but will magnanimously vote for the "best" (aka most free stuff) person, that leaves Gary with 25% of the total available pool. Not enough to win. Since we do not have the enlightened idea of a coalition government (which is the only thing left with the herd of moose we now have given franchise to, based on their wildly variable desires for free stuff or party loyalty) we will be stuck with either of the two idiots from the only 2 parties allowed to matter. Our loss, their gain.

One would think that with the choice between a criminal (or a socialist) on one side, and a barely tolerable blowhard on the other, that Gary Johnson should be gaining a much larger following. Is it that people just want the pain to end, and have little faith that anyone can stop the pending collapse?

Well, from his point of view, which is that of a secret destruction agent, the economy is "doing great." His policies are working as designed. Rand never did conceive, did she, of an enemy seeking deliberately to crash an economy. Her villains, except maybe for Ellsworth Monckton Toohey, were pathetic incompetents.

This is such a good illustration of the bald face lies that this idiot throws out. Carrier moved from a fairly new plant in Indiana (I think) to Mexico just a couple months ago. The union fight and lawsuit was all over the media. Yet no one questions this idiot, and that is the same behavior we see with HillaryBeast and her lies. I posted this because it was so blatant, it deserved attention as it is clearly the behavior AR was depicting in AS.

trade isn’t killing manufacturing jobs in the U.S. “They were the result of technology and automation that let businesses make more stuff with fewer workers.”

Hogwash. We are supposed to ignore that hundreds of thousands of manufacturing jobs are now in Mexico and China instead of the US, and the excuse is automation?
If it was automation that did it, then there would be lots more US jobs in manufacturing today.
The real reason is that it costs less to manufacture using workers who live in a regime where the market rate is much lower. Its lower because there is no EPA, no FDA, no alphabet soup of government inteference and intrusion. Its also lower because peasants in China and Mexico settle for much different living standard than US workers and work just as hard. IBD and Obama are both lying.

BTW ditto for the Socialist Sanders. They are all a social disease.

Some people will believe A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G no matter how obvious the lie!
