Third Party Candidates

Washington (CNN) -- Gary Johnson and Virgil Goode have no chance of winning the November 6 presidential election, but the two "third-party" candidates could have an impact on who does.
Together, Johnson of the Libertarian Party and Goode of the Constitution Party are in position to siphon a few thousand votes from Republican Mitt Romney and perhaps President Barack Obama in some of the handful of battleground states considered up for grabs and therefore decisive in determining the winner.
Goode, a former Democrat-turned-Republican congressman from Virginia known for an anti-immigration stance and other strongly conservative policies, routinely won well over 120,000 votes in his home district in elections from 1996 to 2008.
If he gets only 10% of that support this time, it could be enough to swing what is currently considered a dead-even race for Virginia's 13 electoral votes to Obama.

Re: Third Party Candidates

A vote for either of these guys = a vote for Obama.

Let me explain this to you slooooooooowly so that you understand. I am a registered voter in the state of Louisiana, which is a red state. Romney is going to win this state regardless of my one little vote for Gary Johnson. Your "vote for anyone other than Romney is a vote for Obama" is tired and weak just like the majority of your condescending posts.

I see I struck a nerve with you. Good, now maybe you'll wise up and not vote for Obama.

BTW: Obama approves of your Johnson vote.

BTW2: You didn't explain it slow enough for me, you arrogant f***ing jerk.

I think it was I that struck a nerve with you actually. You call me foolish in one post and an arrogant ****ing jerk in this one. Checked a mirror lately? You are singlehandedly the most arrogant ****ing jerk on this site by far with with your condescending remarks in everything you post. You don't like it when someone turns the tables on you? You know what they say about the heat and the kitchen. You're a self-proclaimed truth addict? Get over yourself, man. Your ignorance on what I do with my vote astounds me. Seriously, it does. If Romney wins this election and is doing just as bad or worse than Obama in four years, I will have a case of "I told you so" waiting because there is no difference in the two and my conscience will be clear because I didn't vote for either of these two jokes. I will, also, have voted for what I believed in and didn't cast my vote out of hatred. Continue on with your ignorance and weak arguments, though. The rest of the sheeple would be lost without you. Have a nice day.

People shouldn't be afraid of their government. Governments should be afraid of their people.

Re: Third Party Candidates

P.S. You may want to take your vote and go **** yourself with it, because ****ing yourself is what you will be doing no matter if you are voting for Obama or Romney.

Re: Third Party Candidates

It's cool. I've said my peace. I won't be posting in this forum anymore since it is obvious that differing opinions are looked down upon by uneducated and weak arguments.
