Gary Johnson is the best of all the candidates when it comes to our 2nd Amendment Freedom! http://www.garyjohnson2012.com/issues
David Romero
Gary Johnson is the best of all candidates when it comes to EVERYTHING. Restoring the Constitution, cutting spending, strong national defense, getting us out of the wars, civil rights for all people (religious freedom, marriage equality, women's rights), small government, job creation, taxes... Fiscally responsible and socially tolerant. Get government out of our pockets and out of the bedroom. Can't get much better than that.
Alicia Dearn
With perhaps the exception of abortion. He's totally a postnatal supremacist.
Conner Alford
Согласен. (I agree!)
Алексей Шерстнёв
Cool! Where're you from, Алексей Шерстнёв? That's a pretty neat looking language.
Conner Alford
From Ukraine. It former USSR country. In our country libertarians - are very small group. Maybe In Crimea I alone. In Kiev (capital of our country) libertarians - are 100-200 citizens. Unfortunately, socialism alive in heads of our people to present time: national or international.

"Every terrible instrument of the soldier" - Tench Coxe. Molon Labe!
the "gun" is the instrument of the soldier...but define soldier! the ones putting their lives on the line for YOU ... so you can sit back and enjoy your morning coffee and donut... in the hands of those who serve the gun is not a terrible instument, but one of power... the gun in the hands of those who have no respect for life or property of others, who want to control others, to place fear in the hearts and eyes of those around them, in short the criminals who do not live by the commandments of God. Be you Christian, Muslem, Jewish, Buhdist, even atheist, the 10 commandments are ones to live by...
Linda Reis
why do you have Michigan twice?
Don Moore
Great
Al Roland
Gary Johnson For the WIN!
Terence Shane K
What's going on with Wisconsin? I thought everyone there hunted deer. I can't back anyone who's effectively an isolationist. Someone needs to play the world's policeman, and if it's not us it will be the Chinese. Considering who the Chinese have backed in the past I would be scared witless if they were running the show.
Tom Jankovic
Not volunteering support =/= Isolationist.
Charles Horton
Charles, GJ will still have the same footprint that the US has right now, except he will lower the troop levels back to 2003 Levels. Gary Johnson is Pragmatic and understands that as the leader of the free world we need to have a presence. But we need to stay out of the policy of countries and allow them to be who they want to. As long as they do no harm to Americans there will be no problems for them.

Ohio's not a swing state?
Robert William Hogg
How goes Ohio, so goes the election
Tom Velour
How goes Ohio, so goes the election
Tom Velour
No because in spite of all of the damage done by this administration, the automakers got the bailout and that is the people's of Ohio's livelihood. They will most likely vote with their wallets not with their conscience. Michigan too, most likely. Some would call it a bribe, or buying votes....I just think the auto industry across the board, just like Ford did, should've solved their own problems rather than being beholden to Obama. Also contrary to what they and Obama say, GM HAS NOT paid back their debt, at least not according to the government accounting office.
Donna Parker-Dunlap
No
Ron Petersen
Gary Johnson all the way!
Cliff Garrett
The constitution is clear about this issue. In order to change the constitution there should be a 75% agreement between all voters to do so. Neither Congress, the President, nor the Supreme Courts should be able to alter the constitution. It is FOR the people and BY the people.
Donna Parker-Dunlap
I still feel that the electoral vote should be abolished and go back to the popular vote. That way EVERY PERSON'S vote counts.
Ken Halleck
I agree. There would be a lot more voter participation that way, but that's not REALY what the govt wants, now is it??
Donna Parker-Dunlap
Then all those inner city folks vote the rest of us out. This is a representative republic not a democracy. The minority also is supposed to get a say in the governing. The votes in the 10 largest cities would control the rest of the country. Us country folks wouldnt like that much. You probably wouldnt either when they vote that everyone eats *&^% on Sunday to save meat. Are you going to ask for a second helping? Its not a popularity contest I hope. Thus no popular vote. Obama was popular and look at the mess he will inheriet if he is re elected. I wonder who he will blame that on
Andy White
Americans are greatly overweight because we eat too much meat. Therefore, get rid of guns and legalize pot to lessen drug crimes which often involve guns.
Craig Cothren
what?
Roxanne Kimbell
Really!!??? I hope you are joking because that is one of the dumbest things I have heard today.
James McCann
Give everyone a musket, organize militias and call it even.
Dotti Chesney
I am an American not a DEM or REP. I follow the Constitution. It is the law of the land. Arms are required to defend from a Government not for hunting or sport. Fighting back is what the second amendment is for.
James McCann
They aren't saying "we're taking away your guns"... They're saying "Lets tighten up restrictions with a deadly weapon." Don't be stupid with a gun and you can keep it. Be stupid with it and YES it SHOULD be taken away from you. Just like everything else. Kids, cars, homes...
