Looks like Florida would be very very close if it weren't for Johnson... but we Democrats yelled at the Green candidate in 2000 for playing spoiler too... it happens.
Take libertarian votes and add them to Romney and at the end of the election it may be the difference in Florida and Ohio.
I think there is some truth to it, although not to the degree that some think. I think a bigger reason why he (Romney) lost was due to being a poor candidate.
I look at the way this country has voted and I now know that Romney never stood a chance of winning. This country has changed. We're less free than we were this morning.
In the end, I don't think any state went to Obama due to third party voting. And if one or two may have, the outcome would have been the same.
I hate when they blame third party voters. The people who choose to vote third party are doing so because they are fed up with the two party system. They chose not to vote for Romney or Obama because they thought those two candidates were terrible. I know that when I vote third party, I am doing so to send a message that I am one of the millions of Americans who are disenfranchised with the system and want to see a change.
That's a fair point. But I think if there were only two choices, those people would have voted anyway.
No, you are the same amount of free as you were this morning. What you've got less of now is delusion. Welcome back to reality-land. barfo
who's to say Libertarians would all vote for Romney? They certainly don't agree with him on any social issues. That stuff actually matters to some people.
So, in addition to blaming Bush, Obama, and the liberal leaning media for the economy and whatever else ails, let's add Denny to the blame list since he stuck to his independent guns.
i voted libertarian, but i would never have voted for romney, if anything it cost obama a vote, so yeah, not following the premise of this thread either
My choice was Johnson My vote was Romney My nightmare was Obama People that voted for Gary Johnson were foolish
I was confident in Romney's ability to right this country to be honest even though I generally lean libertarian. So I voted for him. I hold no ill for those that voted libertarian though. The entitlement class is just too attractive to the mass populations. Its just going to get worse though. Just have to live with it, no matter how fucked up it becomes.
