Third Party Candidate Gary
Johnson “Surprised” at
Presidential Election Results

Fox News, by Staff

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 11/12/2012 9:56:30 AM

Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson didn’t win any states in the presidential election, but he did gain tens of thousands of votes in key swing states. The former New Mexico governor spoke to Shannon Bream via Skype on America’s News HQ today. He said he was really surprised at the election results because he thought he though the party would receive more votes. “It just got down to the wire and I think people bought into the fact that because it was going to be so close that they had to vote for either Romney or Obama.”

Comments:
I hope this vile selfish little worm is happy with himself. He had a direct hand in our losing this election. How he could live without himself is beyond me.

Either Romney or Obama my eye. He knows dang well that every vote he got would have been Romney´s. All-or-nothing libertarians bet the house and got nothing. I wonder if that makes them feel good?

Ultimately Johnson is just someone who was happy with Obama winning because of Johnson´s gigantic ego. He and Ron Paul should go off on an island together where they aren´t affected by the Obama court nominees, EPA regulations, executive orders, and all of the other things with respect to which - in their weird words - there isn´t much difference between Romney and Obama. I won´t have that luxury so I didn´t do a tantrum third party vote.

As Orwell said, pacifism is objectively pro-fascist - voting for anyone who can´t win is wasting your vote. I learned this long ago after voting for several third party candidates that nobody noticed. But boy, did they notice who won, for four more years that I didn´t like.

Gary Johnson is a pathetic-wannabe and IMO didn´t take enough votes away from Mitt Romney to do any damage. Seems like it´s more acceptable to blame the rodent-Johnson than to blame Chicago-thugs for STEALING this Election! What will it take for the people of this Country to see the danger in what is going on with the obama administration and their Chicago-union-thugs, along with soros, obama´s puppeteer? They are out to destroy America as we have known it. Wake up, America! God help this Country.

He´s hated by me and my family. I hope someone put a curse on him for taking votes away from Romney.

I bet his bank account is a little bigger too.

I looked at the math - he is annoying but he didn´t cause Obama´s victory. In fact he (and the wackjob Greenie, Jill Stein) made it that much harder for Obama to get over 50%. Back when I lived in Massachusetts, quite a lot of far-left-wingers would vote "Green" because they figured why not, MA is not a swing state.

Ross Perot was a different story, he got 19% of the vote and he really did flip the 1992 election to Clinton. You can see in the details, which states would have gone for Bush if Perot hadn´t existed.

Anyone in a swing state who voted for Johnson over Romney is a traitor to this country. Plain. And. Simple.

He and his ilk are ideological fools. They know
that votes for them will take away votes from the Republican candidate, and yet they run anyways. Then the USA they purportedly love has to endure 4 years of misery. Disgraceful people. Ignorant people. Ideals are fine, but ruining an election makes them cretins, not to even be looked at in future elections.

Gary Johnson is certainly part of the problem. Had he thrown his support behind Romney and if the the Republicans who sat out the election had voted, Obama would be an ex president. What the heck do these people think, that they will get another chance in 4 years? Highly unlikely. I am with the group who believes Republicans will never again win the WH no matter what voters want.

Ross Peron, Ron Paul, Gary Johnson, you are all the scorn of the nation. You will never be forgiven for contributing to the demise of this country. Selfish pigs. Go to He L L.

Did Johnson and Paul lose this election? No but if they had worked to defeat Obama instead of crowd surfing and saying its cool to waste your vote we could have had a better chance than we do right now.

Two things cemented my Romney vote 1) PBS´s "Victoria" chronicling Gladstone´s fecklessness 2) Gary Johnson wore a Communist Victory Banner (a.k.a. "circular Chickenfoot logo") shirt in public.

Hello Libertarians. You just voted to have the Obama Supreme Court plant it´s boot harder on YOUR neck. Maybe you are happy to trade the possibility of legal weed for the right and means of self defense, but that is a very bad idea as we will all find out.

National Review Hammers Gang
of Eight for Promoting Amnesty
Breitbart´s Big Journalism, by Warner Todd Huston    Original Article

In a new editorial, the folks at National Review came out strongly against the immigration plan being sponsored by the "Gang of Eight," a group of Senators that includes Marco Rubio (R-FL), calling the bill "Rubio´s Folly." National Review urges Senator Rubio to vote against the bill he has helped craft. It slams the proposed legislation as, "an amnesty-first, enforcement-maybe program drawn up mainly to reflect the priorities of 11 million citizens of other countries rather than the concerns of more than 300 million citizens of the United States." The editors point out that many of the

A pair of centrist senators introduced a bill Wednesday to soften the employer mandate in President Obama´s healthcare law. The healthcare law requires employers to offer coverage to employees who work more than 30 hours per week. Some employers have said they will reduce workers´ hours to avoid the mandate. Sens. Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) and Susan Collins (R-Maine) proposed a bill to move the threshold to 40 hours per week, saying the employer mandate should match the traditional definition of a full-time worker. "What we´ve tried to do is be reflective of the businesses we work with,"

Another likely Rubio whopper

Marco Rubio made another one of his seemingly endless appearances on Sean Hannity’s program to advocate amnesty legislation. Rubio told Hannity that he has opposed amendments by Republican Senators to improve the legislation’s enforcement provisions because a new enforcement provision will be proposed tomorrow that is tougher and more effective than what has been proposed so far. Rand Paul’s amendment, which Rubio voted against, would have given Congress, not the Department of Homeland Security, the ultimate authority to determine if the border is effectively secure. It would also have included enhanced security measures, such as requiring a

To a remarkable degree, liberalism has been institutionalized as an official ideology, funded by your tax dollars. This editorial in Investors Business Daily explains, in shocking detail, how Obamacare is being used to fund Democratic Party operatives and drive Democratic Party enrollment: The Obama administration granted a whopping $910 million to California to set up its insurance exchange. That money is not for bandages, surgery, nurses and doctors to care for the sick. …Shockingly, the $910 million is slated for bureaucracy, including rich compensation packages for exchange employees ($360,000 a year for the executive director) and contracts for

Kaiser: Faith in Obamacare
plummets to just 35%

The popularity of Obamacare has crashed to its lowest level in nearly two years, according to a new Kaiser Family Foundation poll. Kaiser´s monthly tracking poll found that just 35 percent have a favorable view of the health reform being put into place Jan. 1 while 43 percent view it unfavorably. The favorability rating of Obamacare has been worse only once, in October 2011, when it fell to 34 percent. Not only is the June poll bad news for the president as his administration struggles to have the health reform program ready for people to begin signing up

Americans are already wary of the federal government having collected their phone records, but now we have Rep. Peter King, R-N.Y., setting up a slippery slope of more and more data collection. Earlier today, a Washington Examiner editorial warned that "if phone records are useful now in stopping terrorist attacks, how long before politicians and bureaucrats decide archiving the entire phone call would be even more useful? How long before the limitations and safeguards now in place are set aside?" Within a few hours, King provided an illustration of precisely what the Examiner editors fear. Responding to a

Right rips Rubio as Republican
immigration votes slip away

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) is feeling the heat as potential GOP allies are now turning against his immigration reform bill. Republican colleagues who were previously viewed as possible “yes” votes are keeping their distance from the 1,075-page measure. On Wednesday, conservative activists ripped Rubio and Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) — both sponsors of the bipartisan immigration measure — at a Capitol Hill rally. The crowd, which was protesting the bill’s effort to put millions of illegal immigrants on a path to citizenship, booed at the mention of Rubio’s name during the six-hour event.

A group of whistleblowers, including a number of aviation experts, have come forward in a new documentary to claim that the official explanation for the crash of TWA Flight 800 was wrong and a gas tank explosion did not bring down the flight off the coast of Long Island 17 years ago. However, the six whistleblowers, all part of the original investigation team, stopped short of saying the plane was shot down. Flight 800, a Boeing 747, had just taken off from JFK airport with 230 people aboard on July 17, 1996 enroute to Paris when it exploded

An attorney whose firm represents two Benghazi whistleblowers said Gen. Martin Dempsey, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, lied to the Senate when he said there was never a “stand down” order during the Benghazi attack on Sept. 11, 2012. “What was fascinating is that he explained his lie to them,” Joe DiGenova, an attorney representing one of the whistleblowers, told CNSNews.com. “He actually said they were sent to Tripoli. They were needed in Benghazi,” said DiGenova, a former U.S. attorney, now with the Washington firm of DiGenova & Toensing.

Likening religious schools to segregation--a racist system that forced blacks to attend different schools and use different facilities than whites in the American South--President Barack Obama told a town hall meeting for youth in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Monday that there should not be Catholic and Protestant schools because such schools cause division. "Because issues like segregated schools and housing, lack of jobs and opportunity--symbols of history that are a source of pride for some and pain for others--these are not tangential to peace; they’re essential to it,"

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

Listening to Barack Obama give his speech in Belfast on Monday, it was hard not to stifle a yawn. I kept waiting for the part when he would say something interesting, but, about three quarters of the way through, realised it wasn’t going to come. Judging from television pictures some of his young audience felt the same, after the initial rush of euphoria of receiving the rock star president in their midst had passed. This is not surprising, for we had already heard this number about the inspirational role of the Northern Ireland peace process and the Emerald Isle’s

This is the thirtieth anniversary of the publication of How Democracies Perish, an analysis of the spread of world communism by Jean-François Revel, one of freedom´s most serious French defenders since Tocqueville. At the heart of this work, Revel details "The Tools of Communist Expansion," among which the most relevant for understanding our current situation comes in Chapter 16, "Ideological Warfare and Disinformation." The profound simplicity of Revel´s nuts and bolts account of totalitarianism´s Cold War advance, far from being obsolete

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.
