    That's the spirit! Let's hope we have a terrible candidate from the opposing party so our party will win! Screw the idea that we should vote for the candidate that is better for the country!

    Between Ron Paul and whatever dreck the Republican Party would normally elect in the Bush/McCain mold, Paul is the better candidate for the country. Hence I'll vote for Paul in the primary.

    Between Ron Paul and Obama, it's my own opinion that Obama is the better candidate for the country. Hence I'll vote for Obama in the general election.

    I'll be casting my vote to get the two best possible candidates in the general election, and then I'll vote to elect the best candidate possible among those two.

    So I don't get your point.

    A Non-Paul Libertarian Joins the Republican Fray

    When an Albuquerque Journal reporter last went to visit her state’s former governor in Taos, N.M., he answered the door in “boiled-wool slippers and a peace sign T-shirt,” she wrote in a January 2010 column.

    “Federal government spending — I’m livid,” the former governor, Gary Johnson, told the reporter, Leslie Linthicum, before amplifying his sentiments with a coarser word. “This whole spending more than you take in, I just think it’s insane.”

    On Thursday, on the steps of New Hampshire’s state Capitol, a suit-and-tie-clad Mr. Johnson announced his candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination.

    Mr. Johnson is in favor of legalizing marijuana (a way to weaken Mexican drug cartels) and against continuing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. He has said that spending heavily to secure the borders and deport illegal immigrants is not worth the expense. So who invited this hippie to the Tea Party?

    Representative Ron Paul, the libertarian standard-bearer, has been encouraging. In June, when speaking to The Daily Caller about his own uncertainty about 2012, Mr. Paul, a Texas Republican, said Mr. Johnson would be the best of the other potential candidates. And as Slate’s Dave Weigel notes, Mr. Johnson hired Mr. Paul’s finance director, Jonathan Bydlak.

    Mr. Johnson, governor from 1995 to 2003, has millions of his own money. And he can point to the healthy state of New Mexico’s budget when he left office to establish his clout as a fiscal conservative. Also, it’s not the worst time to be a dark horse. As results of a New York Times/CBS News poll showed on Thursday, Republicans are not exactly enamored with their probable primary menu. (Mr. Johnson did not register in the poll.)

    There are no candidates in the US system, only parties.

    I voted for Obama, but in fact all I got was Pelosi and Reid (2 people I would never vote for).

    Trump's companies had 4 bankruptcies. He is a serial bankrupt. There is no way in hell that dude ever wins a general election. Ron Paul has a better chance of winning the election - and I would be real surprised if he ever wins it - I doubt very much the general public will ever be able to show any trust in someone like Trump.

    Unfortunately for the GOP - if they do not elect Trump as their candidate - he is very likely to run as an independent and steal votes from their candidate. Trump might be Obama's best weapon for re-election.

    .... I don't get your point either, blazerboy30. He will be voting for who he thinks is the best candidate.

    He said Paul can't win the general election. He is not going to vote for Paul in the general election.

    What is the problem with understanding here? The following quote is extremely partisan and ridiculous... I don't see what is so hard to understand.

    See what happens when I take a few things out of context?

    Right. Because quoting an entire (and complete) two sentences that you wrote is the same as you mixing together random words that I typed.

    Desperate.
