Gary Johnson Why not Gary Johnson?

This is where I think the disconnect is.

People seem to think I'm nitpicking and not voting for Gary, even though I would agree with him on most things. That's not it. Like you said, I don't even agree 100% with Ron, though I am far more confident that he's going to leave me with a way out.

Instead of this:

Ron ... Gary .......................................................................Romney/Obama

I see it more like

Ron ............................................................Gary................Romney/Obama

Gary is still better than Romney or Obama in several ways to me, but he's not that close to Ron, and I disagree with Gary Johnson on the big issues that are important to me in choosing who to vote for. So I'm not voting for him.
I don't disagree with you on that.

But I also realize what the general public perception will be towards the voting results for Johnson and the results for no-name write-ins. The Johnson votes will be reported and will mostly be thought of as Ron Paul supporters. The no-name write-ins will only be discussed amongst ourselves here. If any media talks about those no-confidence votes, they'll be sure to mention that "every election Mickey Mouse receives votes" etc like they always do. I want to send a message with my vote because that's all I can do.
