it appears Gary Johnson is lying about how many states the Libertarian Party will be on the ballot, and the other 3rd party state access.

oh noooo please don't lie about ballot access

I guess this means I should vote for Romney because he'd never lie about anything.

This is interesting. I wasn't aware that the Oklahoma Supreme Court had ruled that he wasn't to be on the ballot. What happened there...did he not get enough support for the state? Why was it at the Supreme Court level?

Irrelevant to the issue you're bringing up, but a pet peeve of mine...I REALLY, REALLY HATE when webmasters f*ck up their links. Jesus...it's not hard to do, people. These yahoos have Jill Stein's "number of states" link pointing to Virgil Goode's.

This deserves it's own thread? This is dangerous precedent.

That's too bad, but on the upside it looks like Stein has gained access to quite a few states' ballots. Maybe I'll consider voting for her

Don't get confused by the fact that the link to Jill Stein's state ballot access is actually the other guys' - that confused me at first.

I will say, this is the first time anyone has actually tried to share Gary Johnson with me. Sure, I have heard many times that "GJ is for this and that" but I have not seen him in his own words.

thanks

If you think that's the first time anyone has actually tried to share Gary Johnson with you in these fora, you must be a recovering illiterate.

But I'm not at all surprised you'd take a moment to take a shot at him, because in your deluded mind, this probably justifies your vote for Romney. Stop letting your fear rule you, Phatscotty. Or stop lying about your true priniciples, I suppose...either would work.

I'm sorry you're so frustrated, Woodruff.

that was me sharing Gary Johnson with everyone else. Close tho Symm!

Would have been closer if it were something in GJ's words also, not just a basic 2 sentence introduction from someone else.

Frustrated? More like humored...I consider you a laughingstock.

He wants an excuse for his plan to vote for Romney, so that he can assuage his conscience.

Wow.

Of all the press someone could have given Gary Johnson, this is what they come up with?

Seriously?

You believe this didn't come from either the Democratic or Republican machine (or both)?

It's from Examiner (read: a it's a glorified blog post), so I doubt the parties had anything to do with it.

Maybe someone with an axe to grind, or a supporter of another candidate.
