If I were a Republican voter, looking for Non-Mitt candidate

Last edited Sun Oct 14, 2012, 06:15 PM - Edit history (1)

because I was frustrated by the disrespectful, dishonest way that Ron Paul was treated during the primaries, and I couldn't bring myself to hop the blue wall and vote for Obama, I'd seriously consider Gary Johnson, Libertarian. He's on the ballot in 47 states.

I'm just saying...

Mitt Romney and his nasty band of Mittsters have treated the good doctor -- and you -- TERRIBLY! HORRIBLY! SCANDALOUSLY!

Now is your chance to give ol' Mittens the you-know-what right in his magic underwear.

If you can't vote for your guy, VOTE FOR OUR GUY, President Barrack Obama! But if by chance you cannot do that, than be all means, vote for anyone other than Mitt the Twit. You know he does not respect you or Congressman Paul.

Remember how the Rinsed Penis and the Republicans treated you at the convention: SHAMEFUL!

Now is the time to get even!

...I'd vote for Johnson.

And I feel comfortable saying that here because myself and everyone here (except the trolls) are voting for Obama anyway.

But Johnson is sure as hell a better candidate for Republicans than Rmoney.

Nevada and Colorado? Multiple polls ppd included showed with johnson on the ballet obama +1
without it +3

In the Nevada average Nate used the poll that showed him only +1. I know Johnson is popular out west, but to pull mostly would be obama voters....Rediculous. Other eastern state virgina and the like show him taking romney voters.
Colorado I believe its because Johnson wants to legalize marjuana and reduce or negate drug possession. most likely to be would be obama voters... my best guess.
