I don't support this woman, but the fact that Jill Stein was arrested trying to get into the debate last night should say everything you need to know. Shockingly, this was not on the news this morning.

She's clearly demostrated that our electoral process is just one hair short of being a banana republic oligarchy.
To all those of you who think voting matters.......never ****ing mind
Gary Johnson.
Like guns? Vote Romney.
When the next SC Justice needs to be replaced, if Obama is re-elected, think Heller stands a chance of holding up?
Complain all you want about Romney, but at the end of the day, I'll take his Justices over Obama's.
This is the greatest joke that no one gets! Your vote doesn't matter at all! Or Bush wouldnt have had second term(correct me if wrong I thought he lost the popualr vote). I think we should scrap the electoral college and only let people who served in the military, business owners amd taxpayers vote. Would you really want the important decisions of this country to be decided by 18 year Olds amd that obama phone lady....
The Romney/Ryan ticket is just as, if not more, progressive than Bush/Cheney. How did Roberts pan out?

Ugh. Like a flaming bag of $^% on my front door, there is no way to respond other than to acknowledge that it is a flaming bag of $#% and I'm just going to not step in it.
Bad call.

the supreme court blew that decision so bad this summer, its just about impossible to defend it. it was the "conservative" justices that took one giant leap towards a police state. thats bad. its lose-lose. to say one side of SCOTUS is better than the other right now is pretty hard. Sure, we can keep our guns under a conservative SCOTUS, but we can also have insane decisions like Florence vs freeholders along with it. Its garbage.
WRT tax policy, it will be a little easier to see which is worse after the ObamaCare taxes (most of which have little to do with healthcare) kick in.+1. The biggest lie about the republicans is that they support freedom. They don't. When it comes to civil liberties, apart from guns, republicans are a disaster. More important to me than anything else in politics is getting government out of my life -- maximum freedom, minimal taxation, minimal regulation. And I honestly can't say which, Obama or Romney, is the preferred candidate overall for my tastes. Both are terrible. That we can differentiate them does not make either a preferable choice. Regardless of the winner, I hope for political dysfunction and gridlock. And that seems more likely with Obama than Romney.

They are truly horrific. There is a reason they were delayed until after term I and the fact that people would let a president get away with that is stunning (yet not surprising at all).
That said, I agree on the general issue that both parties are toxic to liberty at this point.
Or Gary JohnsonDo You choose "R&R" or "BO" ?
I choose R&R over a stinker any time.
"Dems favoring civil liberties more than republicans." You can't be serious?
Try buying a 16.1oz soda in NYC.

I'll keep voting R until real conservatives appear.
I can promise you I didn't vote r/r in the primary. But given our current situation not much of a choice.
Not like my vote will make much impact in MA anyways
