    Gary Johnson, former New Mexico Governor, is most likely now a RINO masquerading as a Libertarian.

    Let's assume arguendo that your proportion is correct. Then I say the other 15 percent are deal-killers.

    Add this to it: in AS, Galt's Gulch was by invitation only. How can favoring the unrestricted influx of possibly unproductive persons possibly construe as libertarian in nature?

    What you wrote hear is, to mi ears too close for distinction from nonsense. Do you write out emotional reactions or do you think through what you will write before you do it?
    I do mean no offense. I am just attempting to teach you what, I think, might be a better way.

    you are right...Trump is worse than Johnson...this article is not about Trump...

    Johnson IS anti-liberty, anti-freedom, and anti-business in regards to a private owner's right to sell to whomever he/she wants

    Maybe not an ideal libertarian, but by definition he is a Libertarian.
    Wild Bunch? Thanks for the compliment, I think.;^)
    While I do respect your opinions and agree with many of them, your personal opinion is not a significant part of my voting decision, dino. (Nor should my opinion be significant in your voting decision.;^) Just the facts, dino.
    ;^)

    Lots of well armed Christians and atheists in America at present. You should be pretty safe from Sharia law until gun confiscation, and that would likely result in civil war.

    LOL! Hey, I now member that.
    Why post? Because we have a bunch of Gulchers who favor that party above all others.
    Furthermore, Gary Johnson is NOT a Libertarian.
    But that wild bunch here are gonna vote Libertarian anyway because they disagree with my personal opinion about that.

    Where ever I can escape from Sharia Law.
    I'm a Christian. I prefer death over a forcible conversion. I much more prefer escaping that decision.
    Think they'd want Christians dead before they moved on to killing atheists. But I may be wrong.

    To all immigrants: Apply for immigration legally as I have. Enforce the immigration laws until the congress changes them. Not doing so is against the wishes of the people and is unfair to both existing citizens and legal immigrants.

    Liberty needs security.
    Communism also needs security.
    So I get your point.
    Liberty ain't the insanity of open borders, though.

    I agree, dino. Enforce the immigration laws until the congress changes them. It is not an optional unwritten power of the executive branch.

    So, you're saying a more viable libertarian candidate has to have the initials R.P.?
    Where's Ross Perot?

    It doesn't matter... What Johnson is NOT is either Clinton or Trump, candidates for the double named monoparty. If you really want to continue the same ol same ol, then feel free not to vote for Johnson, because it shows you're so indoctrinated by the monoparty you don't care who wins as long as the graft and looting in DC and elsewhere continues.

    If you think you're voting for the lesser of 2 evils, remember you're still voting for evil. Me? I'll take door # 3...

    A famous talk radio host talked about the poll some months ago. I'm not in favor of not being able to buy a beer on Sunday or some of the other "Blue Laws," but that seems mild when you compare Sharia Law that says no to all alcohol and that all homosexuals should die. As far as your comments on Christians and the Constitution, believe what you want to. I'm not going to fall into the trap of another religious discussion in The Gulch.

    Certainly seems like a sham if you read and believe what the biased media say about Trump and Johnson. Definitely agree that no candidate is saying everything he thinks, Herb, but the degree and motivation for incomplete truth puts the libertarian party head and shoulders above the GOP and the Dems.
    If the rules written by the GOP and Dems to prevent any competition from any third party were fair, then I am convinced that the libertarian party would already be a major party and the libertarian party would be the one with the largest share of the vote based on their complete disclosure and a better understanding of their policies by the voters..

    I understand and share your frustration.

    The entire election is a sham for every political party. Not one of them are what they claim to be. However, like the song goes, "Same as it ever was." The only completely legitimate election was for George Washington. If that's true, and it is, we as voters need to choose a president by the degrees of anti rational pronouncements made by them.The next thing to consider is if you can trust them to do the good they say they want to do. Hillary fails on both counts, even excluding all of her scandals. Trump and Johnson are pretty much tied in their various obfuscations, but Trump has a better chance of winning. That's it in a nutshell. Good luck!

    If Trump and/or Hillary want Gary in the debates, he will probably be invited. And they might want just that. A three-way debate gives Trump and Hillary less speaking time, meaning less time to screw up, get too specific or answer uncomfortable questions. Less time to talk also makes it less likely for Hillary to have a coughing fit, and provides more time to recover if she does. I don't think either R&D candidate is looking forward to the debates, and having a third candidate in the mix would take some pressure off both of them.

    Rule #3: Don't believe what you're told. Double check.
    Article is biased and untrue.

    Johnson is more libertarian than many so-called libertarians. He is avoiding discussing libertarian issues that are confusing to voters because that has been prove to be a losing strategy. Johnson understands that he must get on the debate stage in order to reach voters, and he must concentrate on issues they understand to get there.
    (I don't like some of this strategy either, Tassie, but I understand the reason for it.)

    Political campaigns are also educational tools, and regardless of his "political purity" Gary is acquainting many voters with the term "libertarian" and what in general it stands for. The fact that he is currently polling 10%, while still relatively unknown, shows that the populace is already becoming more "liberty friendly," thanks in part to the Libertarian Party's efforts over the last 40+ years.

    Agree wholeheartedly......Johnson is not much of a libertarian......same as democrats are not liberals and most republican politicians are not conservative.

    He is better than Trump, I would agree. More libertarian on a scale. Not so much as Ron Paul, I think tho.

    I support Johnson and the libertarians actually. I really dont know how to influence the "approval rating" thing to get him into the debates, however, and I doubt he will get to the 15% point (arbitrary) by the time of the debates. And they arent really "debates" at all. Just opportunities for the media to make one or more candidates look bad. In this case, the media will try to make hillary look good and trump look bad. They would leave Johnson alone, as he has NO chance to be a threat to the establishment.

    I just dont think he has a snowball's chance of winning THIS time around, so I will vote for Trump so as to NOT get Hillary.
