That's Marakay Rogers not Roberts. I'll vote for them. You know what you're going to get with Republicans and Democrats. Nothing. More of the same. Look around. Look where they've gotten us. A Real Democracy is having more than two choices. If you are tired of voting for Al Capone and Jesse James try voting for real people instead of corporations disguised as them. Maybe one day we'll have Instant Runoff Voting and Proportional Representation like a lot of other Modern Democracy's.

Thanks for the edit, Smedley. I'll fix it now.

I will be voting Jill Stein of the Green Party for President, and Libertarian for all races they have a candidate. I will vote Daylin Leach for State Senate and considering voting for the Democrat running for my state representative. I will write-in a name for US House of Reps.
I dont see a big difference between the D's and R's at the national level. They are the 2 wings of the corporate party. By voting for non-establishment candidates, I know they will represent my interests and not those of the 1%.

Gary Johnson has a lot of great ideas...glad he's on the ballot. Its only fair, sad they had to take it to the judge. What is happening to democracy?

if you go ibto ot sayig "well only these guys can win" then of course only they can win. why not keep an open mind? vote your values. the worst that can happen is that it mightale the major parties shape up. the best that can happen is enough people are brave enough to abandon the two party system.

don't be a coward.

Mr. Independent Voter, I don't see how you can be Mr. Independent Voter if you're voting for the status quo. Your argument comes right from the mouth of the two party system.
Sorry, I can't vote for the corporate candidates. It's about voting for indefinite detention, life w/out parole for Bradley Manning, the death penalty, persecution of Assange, unprecedented crackdowns on "leaks", drone killings of innocents, drone surveillance of the USA, militarization of domestic police, big oil drilling, assassinations without due process, intensified drug war, handover of public health system to private insurers, and On and On....or to not vote for that.
Ask the victims how they'd like you to vote. It is NOT some clever tactical chess move or something to do lesser-evilism. It's to play right into the hands of corporacratic militaristic oligarchist sociopaths who CREATED this distractive theater. It's to postpone, yet again, movements to get out of this.

Smedley are you really falling for that? he's no more independent than I am. He is right though, a vote for your guys even if I agree with 80% which a recent quiz told me, I cannot afford to throw it away. Too much at stake

$20 trillion in debt and failure on our way to bankruptcy versus a real shot to fix it with Romney. Obama had his 4 years and made it worse and he had a Democrat Senate for 2 years. Instead of wasting time on Obamacare which to this day is not what the majority of the public wants, he should have worked on the economy.

Obama knows he failed!

I do not feel there are enough choices for the voting public. I try to support independent candidates whenever I can because we deserve better. Dependence on foreign oil, health insurance, struggling families living paycheck to paycheck etc.... same crap since '92. The D's and R's have it locked up and the attitude of, "This election is too important not to vote for who they want elected." is stupid. It's plain dumb...because it will happen again and again, unless more people take a stand and get out the vote for these candidates and get some sort of almost level playing field.

It's not lost on me......heck Ms. America has 50 choices, Baskin Robins has like 40......let's have the same and let the best person win!!!

Well, I'm too old to vote for lesser of two evils, bla, bla and, instead, vote for who I think is best for the job. You can't condemn the establishment and support it at the same time. I really wished Obama had done what he had promised. I'm voting Green, again.

Mr. Independent you're full of it. "It comes down to two guys who can get in there and you know it". It comes down to the two guys alright. The same two guys every time. Tweedle dee and tweedle dumb. There isn't a dimes worth of real difference between the two candidates. Both of them stand there and lie right to your face and you're still going to vote for them. Sorry, I don't buy it. We could have better but they won't allow it.

Mr. Independent Voter, I don't know why you didn't know about the other candidates until October. It is your duty as a registered voter to seek out information. Unless you are depending on the media. And based on your shared views, I could probably guess which media source. I, too, am an Independent voter. And I could never waste or throw away my vote on any candidate I didn't support. The very idea of voting against a candidate is ludicrous to me. But I can't deny so many of you will. I'll be voting for GARY JOHNSON!

A fair and balanced, factual analysis of Mitt Romney's record as governor.

Compare to Obama's record as Illinois senator then President, Mr. Independent.

Dig.

Mr independent, if you are going to talk about flip flopping please be fair. I'm also an independent and will be voting for Romney. Obama said he would reduce the debt in half...he instead doubled it. He was against gay marriage, now he is for it. He said he would reduce insurance premium costs with Obamacare by over $2000 per family, instead it has gone up $2500. I'm sorry, but his record proves he is a much bigger flip flopper and just gave us lip service to get elected. I'm not buying it this time. I'll take the guy who has a successful business pedigree over the community organizer... and I voted for Obama last time.

Simple question everyone should ask themselves when they go in the booth... are you better off than you were four years ago? Are you better off paying almost $4 a gallon instead of $1.90? Are you better off with 8% unemployment? Are you better off having your health insurance premiums go up almost 30% because of Obamacare? Are you better off with each child in this country carrying $57k in debt the minute they are born? If so, vote for the current guy. If not, vote Romney.. the others are just wasted votes.

And I promise you in four years if Romney has not kept his promises, I will vote to kick him out too.

Illuminati yours is the vote that's wasted. How old are you? I can't believe you actually believe what your candidate is saying. Was gas $1.90 four years ago? Oil is traded on the world market. The candidates have nothing to do with the price of gas and it will continue to go up no matter who gets selected.
"The only vote that's wasted is the one you cast for someone you don't believe in"

I've come from a long family history of military service; and we refused to have a Commander in Chief that lets Americans be murdered,

Gov. Gary Johnson has stepped up all his life. He has already won honor with his reputation as a prosperous and honest business man, and very successful and still popular former Governor of New Mexico. Maybe some of us ran after the wrong candidate. Fortunately, you can still change your mind, and learn more about other third-party candidates which will be on the ballot in 48 states (Johnson) and 38 (Stein). Be sure to watch the last Presidential debate on Monday evening, Nov. 5th, 9:00 pm Eastern time between Gov. Johnson and Dr. Stein hosted by Free and Equal Elections. Pass along to family and friends links to the Free and Equal Elections site, and stay tuned.

Here's a breath of fresh air AND a goodly dose of real.
"Gary Johnson's 7 Principles of Good Government

1) Become reality driven. Don't kid yourself or others. Find out what's what and base your decisions and actions on that.

2) Always be honest and tell the truth. It's extremely difficult to do any damage to anybody when you are willing to tell the truth—regardless of the consequences.

3) Always do what's right and fair. Remember, the more you actually accomplish, the louder your critics become. You've got to learn to ignore your critics. You've got to continue to do what you think is right. You've got to maintain your integrity.

4) Determine your goal, develop a plan to reach that goal, and then act. Don't procrastinate.

5) Communicate. Make sure everybody who ought to know what you're doing knows what you're doing.

6) Don't hesitate to deliver bad news. There is always time to salvage things. There is always time to fix things. Henry Kissinger said that anything that can be revealed eventually should be revealed immediately.

7) Be willing to do whatever it takes to get your job done. If you've got a job that you don't love enough to do what it takes to get your job done, then quit and get one that you do love, and then make a difference.

Before you vote, watch this: http://youtu.be/XjLSlJ5QOdk It IS time for a revolution at the voting booth.

We need another party that can give us real choice. The two current parties are most interested in competing with one another & who can best the other. The people are lost in the shuffle.
