Lets see how that works: if 1000 people vote for Romney, then R = 1000 if 1000 people vote for Obama, then O = 1000 if 10 people vote for Johnson, then J = 10, but R & O stay the 1000 if 10 people don't vote, then R & O stay 1000 and J stays 10 Nope, voting 3rd party or not voting is NOT a vote for Obama.

It is if those people would vote for one of the other parties instead - seriously, you need someone to tell you this?

Incomplete reasoning is like mental vomit. You released a thought before you'd digested the info.

So my reasoning is incomplete because "if" those people would have voted for Obama and/or Romney, then THAT would change the tally? Really? That's your argument? Go back to sticking sharp objects into outlets.

Wow, because the possibility that things won't go exactly as you predict is ludicrous, right?

You've got a brain. USE it. To overlook the possibility that people are actually dithering between voting for Johnson or voting for Romney is beyond stupid. Those people exist, and you know it.

Nawlins,

When it comes to throwing away votes that was done in the primaries when all these GOPhers voted for the establishment/internationalist candidates who mean business as usual. I reckon they either approve of this or they enjoy being lied to.

Moron, the argument is that "a vote for a third party is a vote for Obama". I showed how this is false and you present stupidity as your defense. It is the original statement that claims to know how others will vote if they don't pick the 3rd party. They could easily vote FOR Obama, thus giving Obama MORE votes.

Ryan, what I have witnessed in the last few months since Romney has become the nominee is the Republican version of "hope and change". The evidence that Romney has no principles and is another Big Government Statist is overwhelming, but conservatives HAVE to believe that he is "the one" who will make gum drop rain and rivers of chocolate. To see posts that say "I am voting for Romney because he is a good man" shows the level of cognitive dissonance.

Nawlins,

Romney probably is a good man when it comes to his own family but to me he is a rotten man when I consider his record and words. You're right, for these people He is the GOP version of hope and change and nothing will change save one. He will be worse than Obama if elected.

Couldn't of said it better Ryan.

"When it comes to throwing away votes that was done in the primaries when all these GOPhers voted for the establishment/internationalist candidates who mean business as usual. I reckon they either approve of this or they enjoy being lied to. "

President Obama tanked in the last debate. Good.

Now maybe people will listen when Mitt Romney says things like, "The genius of America is the free enterprise system, and freedom, and the fact that people can go out there and start a business. ... The private market and individual responsibility always work best."

They do.

But then Romney responded to Obama by essentially saying: I want big government, too!

We who hope for smaller government as a way to expand liberty and create prosperity are disturbed by what we heard last week. The GOP candidate painted himself as a big...
