Only state that might have flipped if 100% of GJ voters went for Romney (and it'd be more like 85/15 Romney/Obama or thereabouts) is Florida, and it would have been recount-close.

So, yeah, I guess we can stop that talk now.

Reminds me so much of '08 and McCain.

Either way, Johnson was irrelevant. Hell...Roseanne Barr got almost half as many votes as Johnson.

I think that was due entirely to being weird-hot.

Google is showing Johnson got 1%... so I agree with Pancho, he didn't sway the election, I could have "voted with my conscience" and it wouldn't have made a lick of difference. I stick by my original promise- I'm done voting party now, I'm now voting for who I think is the best, that is if there is anything to vote for in 2016... :/

Welcome to the club Ronin!

We get an extra pretentious seat on the cart as we all tumble off the cliff. [ROFL3]

Uhhh, at last check, Gary Johnson got over 1.1 million votes.

Roseanne Barr got less than 50 thousand.


Might want to double check your math.

So the question remains now: Who's going to help Rand Paul get elected in 2016 so we can hopefully save the nation? I know who I'm gonna back if he decides to run!

The last email I got from him stated that Ron Paul was retiring from office after the lame duck session next week. So, doubtful Ron Paul will run.

Today I learned 50,000 is half of 1,100,000.

The truly sad part is that, yet again, voter turnout is down from 4 years ago. Even here in a "battleground" state you had over 800,000 inactive voters compared to 2,200,000 active voters. That's almost one in three of registered voters that didn't give a flip.

And another "Thank You" to die hard R's here for telling folks to not throw your vote away!

I know it may not have occurred to some of you dumbasses that I might've looked at the numbers before they were complete.

It doesn't matter. Johnson was irrelevant in this election. As was the libertarian party. It doesn't matter if he got 1 vote or 1.1 million votes. It means dick.

The Dems will keep winning as long as "moderate" Republicans despise and undermine fiscal or social conservatives and as long as other non-Socialists "vote their conscience". There are just too many parasites, Marxists and liberal extremists cooperating out there to divide the defense. They will keep marginalizing all opposition as long as people say "f*** the GOP, they won't let me smoke my weed" or "I don't want to hear about abortion" or "XXXX is too extreme because he wants to cut the deficit entirely through spending cuts".

Oh well, at least YOU can sleep at night.
