The Libertarian Party is having it's convention as I post this, and I believe that Gary Johnson will be the nominee. The LP has never drawn much more than 1 percent during an election, but that could all change this year.
1) For Conservatives, here is a candidate who really IS for limited government and the Constitution.
2) For Liberals, here is a candidate who would shut down spying on Americans, and IS for limitations on the government taking away your Constitutional rights.
I am guessing that Johnson will get somewhere between 3 and 6 percent of the vote this November, and will drain votes from both Republicans and Democrats, which are the status quo for everything that is unAmerican. Yea, I know - 3-6 percent is nothing, compared to how many votes Romney and Obama are going to get. But you know something? These are GOOD votes, if you want to vote your conscience and not allow talking heads of the major parties to do your thinking for you. And 3-6 percent might not be much, but it's a small step in the right direction. Small steps, folks.
If Johnson is nominated, I will again vote Libertarian. **** the Republicans. **** the Democrats. I want REAL change.
