That's the trick, and it doesn't matter who you vote for when you fall for it. Hey, if you don't vote for "asshole", you're just helping "asshole" stay in/take office. We've all heard that, and I have personally caved to that argument. However if your goal is to not have an asshole in the office/senate/house/council you're not being served. If you believe in the liberty movement you know this election is already lost, but the battle is important regardless. The republican-neocons despised Paul, and cheated left and right, changing their own rules to benefit the establishment candidate. Johnson is not Paul, but he is without question more liberty minded than either Obama/Romney. He needs support not so he can win, because he won't, but so we have our voices heard. Mr. Johnson needs to garner enough attention to be allowed on the televised debates. The setup, is for future elections. Without loud, public support, the debates (which are somehow controlled by partisan interests directly) will happily exclude anyone not of the two majors. See link below and call the number to get Gary in the debates.
Hey, just remember to not vote for the guy who voted for the assault weapons ban, nor the guy who wanted to socialize healthcare. Have fun figuring out which is which.
