The I Voted For Gary Johnson Thread

[Indy Vidual]

No flaming please. Those who voted for Gary Johnson needed a thread!

Just voted for Gary Johnson in Parkville, Maryland!

I put the effort into getting out to vote for GJ.

I gladly voted Johnson on my AZ ballot so I could make sure my displeasure with the GOP would be registered. After Romney loses, the GOP will have to reconsider how they drove our votes away. Let the rebuilding of the GOP resume. We have gained much ground since 2007 and many liberty candidates are doing well tonight.

Ron Paul R3VOLUTION!

I voted for Gary Johnson and Kurt Bills. They both lost, but I feel good about those votes.

Looks like he got an even 1% of the vote. Middle of the election I didn't think he's break the 1% mark. I mean with the amount of Red vs Blue ads on television it is a miracle that any of us remembered that third parties existed.

It's like a breath of fresh air, seeing so many of us standing on principle and making such a difficult decision. I've said it once, and I'll say it again: It's wonderful to have so much evidence that I'm not alone. (That WE'RE not alone.)

To contribute, I'd like to ask a question. How many of us who supported Johnson are feeling more than a little alienated by friends, family, and coworkers on the basis of our vote? My mother and father are apoplectic, and they are pissed at me in a very real and very sad way. I'm a grown man, therefore I'm not concerned with doing what they think is right just for the sake of doing what they think is right. We are becoming more distant as they have seen my prediction come true - that the GOP fucked itself right off the cliff into a pool of fail by ignoring, then lying about, and finally marginalizing us. By election night's eve, I had convinced myself that I was wrong, that Robamney would win on the basis of Republican vitriol. I paid too much attention to the polls; I fell victim to the hype.

I never told them that. All they knew was what I had told them back in August: the moment Boehner read off that teleprompter, the GOP sealed its doom...

It's almost as though we are bearing a burden...such is the task of carrying the torch of liberty, I suppose. The pioneers catch the arrows, as they say here in my neck of the woods.

The wife and I both voted Johnson. (California.)

Writing in Ron Paul would've felt great, and I wanted to, but I felt voting Johnson was potentially the most constructive thing I could do for the Liberty movement.

Because if the LP had gotten 5% of the popular vote, then it would be designated (by law) a "minor party" in 2016 with matching Federal funds like the two war parties. And automatic ballot access in all 50 states. I really wanted to see that happen.

Ever since election day I have been educating friends and family on why *they* are the ones who wasted their votes, not me. (Of course I've been trying to wake people up for months now but they all seem to be fucking hibernating harder than dead ice cubes.)
