    Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson is currently polling around 6%. What is odd is that his numbers are going up as the election nears. Third party candidates generally tail off as people entrench in camp red or camp blue.

    So all folks who want Obama out of office... why are you not voting for Johnson, who fiscally is much more Conservative than Romney, and is a social moderate? And don't say because he has no chance to win, because neither does Romney.

    I know Lasalle will pull the lever for this dude because he is pro-weed.

    Libertarian votes take away from Republican votes. All Hail Gary Johnson!

    his support will be greater than in previous elections for the simple fact that the Republican party screwed Ron Paul supporters at the RNC and those supporters are determined to ensure their votes get counted for anyone but Romney.

    Facts is facts, the Republicans abandoned the middle. There is no longer such a thing as a moderate republican. What is left of them are Libertarians.

    Which positions of the Libertarians do you consider moderate? Fiscally, Libertarians are well to the right of Republicans.

    Right. just so we are clear, you are not a lefty or a democrat, but you cheer for democrats and the left and oppose all republicans. That is interesting.

    And well to the left of democrats in terms of many social issues and drug policy.

    Red doesn't think, he judges everything on perception, avoiding policy not based on logic, but public perception
