If the 2016 election were tomorrow and these were the candidates, who would you vote for?
 
If those were the choices- Johnson. I'm sick of Bushes and Clintons. We need some new blood in DC.
 
If those are the only options, I'm not voting. It's just that simple. There's no Conservative candidate there, so I'd simply choose not to vote.

Uh...okay.

The notion of a rigid separation between church and state has no basis in either the text of the Constitution or the writings of our Founding Fathers. On the contrary, our Founders' political views were strongly informed by their religious beliefs. Certainly the drafters of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, both replete with references to God, would be aghast at the federal government's hostility to religion. The establishment clause of the First Amendment was simply intended to forbid the creation of an official state church like the Church of England, not to drive religion out of public life.

The War on Religion by Rep. Ron Paul

He rejects the notion of "separation of Church and state", instead seeing the issue as "free exercise of religion" and "no establishment of religion".

But Ron Paul supports Freedom and Liberty!

Same-sex marriage

Asked his opinion on same-sex marriage in October 2011, Paul expressed his support for marriage privatization by replying, "Biblically and historically, the government was very uninvolved in marriage. I like that. I don't know why we should register our marriage to the federal government. I think it's a sacrament." In the same interview, when asked whether he would vote for or against a state constitutional amendment like California's Proposition 8, he said, 'Well, I believe marriage is between one man and one woman."[146]

Abortion

Paul calls himself "strongly pro-life"[158] and "an unshakable foe of abortion".[159] In 2005, 2007, 2009, and 2011, Paul introduced the Sanctity of Life Act, which would have defined life as beginning at conception at the Federal level.[160] However, he believes regulation of medical decisions about maternal or fetal health is "best handled at the state level".[161][162][163] He believes that according to the U.S. Constitution states should, for the most part, retain jurisdiction.

International organizations

Paul advocates withdrawing U.S. participation and funding from organizations he believes override American sovereignty, such as the United Nations, the International Criminal Court, the Law of the Sea Treaty, NATO, and the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.[318][349][350]

Because in Ron Paul's universe, we don't need to operate in the rest of the world for anything. Trade agreements, military agreements, flight agreement...nothing. We've got everything we need right here.

Not with Ron Paul! Elections don't matter with Ron Paul!

I voted for Johnson in 2012, and for the selection offered, I'd vote for him again. He comes the closest and in highest number of topics that I'm looking for, though not all topics.

Just like you, I'm tired of Bushes and Clintons.
 
The Bush's money pushing for Jeb Bush is predictable. This is another Jeb Bush promotion thread of course. Republican's running Jeb Bush would be totally absurd.

Ron is a complete nutter. If he didn't have cool positions like "legalize drugs" only the libertarians (who are also complete nutters) would give him the time of day.

Exactly how much does the POTUS effect you?

What changes in YOUR life do you experience when the POTUS changes?

I'd happily give Jeb Bush my consideration and in these circumstances my vote. Excluding him and I'm tremendously uncertain. It's a toss-up between Johnson and Clinton, I think I'd lean towards Clinton.
 
Jred is obviously trolling. Some of you need to lighten up just a tad.

I'm assuming Gary Johnson is running 3rd party, so most likely I'd vote for Jeb Bush.

He'd be the individual whose views/policies would be closest to my own, and who I can feel comfortable putting my support behind, that has a legitimate chance of winning.

Well, clearly (at least by the Paul-as-Washington pic). Who was getting testy?

In case you hadn't noticed, the economic and foreign affairs positions taken by an American administration affect Canada and other nations in the world both directly and indirectly.
 
Gary Johnson would definitely have my vote.
