It only took me voting for scum like McCain once, and I learned my lesson. It may take longer for you, or it may never happen. When you're ready to jump off the R and D hamster wheel, you'll know it. When you see that it really doesn't matter whether you vote R and D, it doesn't matter what party gets in, nothing major changes, the only thing that changes are the small transient things that don't matter, you'll finally get it.
Its ok, though, some are very old, in their 40's and 50's, and they still never get it. Some never will.
Really when you realize that your vote really doesn't matter a whole lot in the grand scheme of things, you'll see that gambling on the guy that REALLY has in the past had a record that meets your principles, or just making a principled vote when you know for a fact your State is going for R or D, like mine, going for R for sure, thus getting all your State's electoral votes, then you realize a vote for principle is better laid, because if 5 percent vote for L nationally, then the L's get campaign funding next time, which could eventually break the iron grip that the two parties have on the vicious cycle.
Here is the deal, though, we could get a bunch of libertarians in State positions, in Federal positions, and even in the White House, and the whole system is so corrupt, it wouldn't even matter anyway, but then again, that is a chance I"m willing to take, because AT LEAST, Gary Johnson's PAST actions as governor of NM for 8 years, PROVED beyond a reasonable doubt what his principles are. At least we tried something different and proved that with beyond a doubt, the whole system is so corrupt that even changing out an entire party, with a party that believes in economic and social freedoms, and you still don't get any major changes in this country, then we'll know its impossible, and then we can know, that only one thing is going to shrug off this government, and allow us to be new safeguards in its place for our freedom and liberty. Gary Johnson gave the people of New Mexico 8 years of Social and Economical freedom for the citizens, and balanced budgets for the State, even a surplus, did away with wasteful programs and wasteful spending, that is a growing cancer at ever level of government in this country.
What did Romney's 8 years in MA prove that he was as Governor? A left-wing Authoritarian Statist, quasi Socialist? No thanks.
The fact that "patriots" would even THINK of throwing their vote to someone like that IS astonishing, because he stands for EVERYTHING that "patriots" are against. With that said, though, everyone has a different view of what makes a "patriot." There are plenty of people that consider "Patriots" and "Hero's" to be guys that promote and love an authoritarian policies and a foreign policy full of intervention, when if they really loved their country and their countrymen, they wouldn't support because of the obvious BLOWBACK terrorism it causes, which has already killed thousands of US citizens here at home, and will kill many more thousands as the US falls apart, and cannot hang on to the lavish spending of the past four decades are so, that has really accelerated in the past 10 plus years. We're going to get lambasted, whenever that happens, they terrorist are going to have a field day using as a punching bag when everything falls apart here. With as many of their family members as US bullets and bombs have killed, I can't say I blame them.
Reverse the scenario, and that would be me, trying to get in a foreign country to try to terrorize the heck out of their nation for sending bullets and bombs over to my country and killing my family and friends. Its only natural, hell its NATURAL LAW.
I'll give everyone a hint. They don't hate us "because we're free" because we're not free, we're slaves to the State and more importantly the corporate, banking, and welfare State. If you don't know what I"m talking about in any of this, go do your own research and see what you find.
