“Those people present who are rather new to the liberty message might be supporting the GOP,” predicted Tracy Diaz, a member of the festival's planning committee, in an interview with Sunshine State News. “But I think the staunch supporters of the movement will be voting either Libertarian or not at all in the election. I don’t think a single one of them will be supporting the Romney ticket.”

I know I won't. I just, with a clear conscience, pull the lever for Mitt. I would rather have 4 more years of Hell with Obama then possibly 16 years of Hell with R Money and Mr. "Watch Me Balance The Budget In 30 years Cause My Name Sounds Like The Guy Who Can Do It In 3" Paul Ryan.

the sad part is, Mittens could have selected Paul Bunyan and a lot people would have still thought Ron Paul

It's amazing to me the number of people who are influenced by a VP pick. The Vice President does nothing. His only job is to break ties in the Senate (which practically never happens relative to the number of total votes that take place in the senate), and hide and wait in case something bad happens to the president, so he gets to take over—which is more rare than tie-breaking votes.

Romney could have picked Satan himself to serve as VP and Satan would have been just as powerless over policy issues, according to the role of a vice president.

Ever notice how you only hear from Biden maybe once a year? I imagine we'll hear from Paul Ryan just as much. People who are voting for Romney based on the Ryan pick are only trying to make-believe that a Romney presidency is somehow made potentially better by this choice of running-mate. It changes nothing.

what amazes me more is that Romney has declared himself the nominee by selecting a VP ... and then the RNC schedule comes out and what's on tap:


In bold I have highlighted what could be potentially interesting moments.

I will be supporting Gary Johnson after voting for the Republican ticket for the 20 years that I have been voting since 18.

The GOP is ran by criminals who only give lip service about smaller govt.

Well he sure as hell isn't Libertarian. Libertarian leaning maybe, but he himself is Republican. Don't see how anyone can mistake that since he wants more liberty activists in the R party and has run under the R banner last two cycles.

Besides, my post was sarcastic. Ive been to the GJ forums and from what I've seen there aren't RP Republicans over there trying to get them to work in the R party like the GJ people over here are trying to get us to leave and push L party ideals.

Uh, guys, I'm pretty sure Kathy was being sarcastic, as Liberty74 has expressed more than a few times that he was going to vote for Johnson. lol
