    Our generation( I’m class of 82) and those before us were the ones who allowed the dismantling of our constitution because we let the idiot box keep us fat, entertained, and afraid.

    I have lost 80 lbs! This is our duty! We are not straw men! We are human beings! Our children, as well as our grandchildren should not have to be a slave to Maritime Admiralty Law and being a straw man, either! It is up to us older folks to fight the power.

    We cannot and should not leave this job to our young. Kids in their 20s and teens should not be faced with rubber bullets and tear gas because we’re to effing lazy to get up and do this for them. The time is now to vote third party and break up the two party system. I am not a corporation. I demand my inalienable rights, as guaranteed by our constitution.

    We have the right as adults to do as we please, so long as we’re not harming anyone else, and I am tired of seeing little sissy boys in suits debate on whether or not we, as adults, have the right to use medical marijuana, or whether we can torch up a bowl just like we can pop open a 40 oz and drink it out of a brown bag, should we please.

    We should vote congress out, as well. Some of these people’s terms run out this year!
    They take a 5 week vacation, come back for a week, which is only a 3 day work week, then take a two month vacation? We pay these mofos to give us results! That’s what they promised to give, but their masters come first.

    a high paid employee of Monsanto is on Obama’s staff!

    Romney’s son, Tagg Romney bought the company that manufactures the voting machines for 5 or 6 states!

    This is an outrage, and should all be punishable as treason!

    No man or institution is above the law!

    Congress did not vote on solving any issues facing us or our children, and neither did Obama. Romney and him fight over who is going to outspend the other making war overseas. Iran is not our enemy. The news media is owned by the elite. Reuters? It is owned by the Rothschilds! C.N.B.C?

    The vice president of C.N.B.C. had previously been employed by one of the Central banks- B.O.A, I think.Once he went to the news station and reported the hundreds of Billions of dollars involved in the lawsuit being filed against the world banks by those who’ve had their homes foreclosed illegally, his nanny and two children ended up mysteriously butchered by some one or a few people employed by the bankers.

    Oh yeah, I forgot . . . the nanny knifed the two children she loved with all her heart before slicing open her own throat and slashing her own wrists? I THINK NOT!

    Immediately, C.N.B.C. took down the story about Bank of America and the central banks, but, some people have screen shots to prove that the story was there before the children were murdered.

    Bring our soldiers/children back home to American soil! We have no enemies except the ones you create, U. S. Government! I was born here and I deserve the right to speak my mind, but Obama signed N.D.A.A. to arrest and detain citizens

      Wait… Yes, I agree with you in principle, rambling and Alex Jones-style conspiracy talk aside, but what does the loss of eighty pounds have to do with it?

        You are responding to one of the brightest comments I have seen online, and feel the necessity to throw in the demonizing word “conspiracy”. If you did more research and open up your mind you will see Rita is spot on correct. We need more people like Rita and less people like you.

            On more than one occasion “snopes” has been wrong. Not sure why anyone who is trying to have a so called intelligent conversation uses an unscholarly research source? They are run by two people..a husband and wife team out of California and have no formal training in research and yet like blind little sheep you all quote it as though it is the bible. Do some scholarly research.

  • jwmort

    My first ballot cast was in 1980 for Ronald Reagan. I believed in him, and still think he was one of this generations best Presidents. Our current election is based on hatred. “Vote for revenge”, “a vote for Johnson is a vote for Obama”. I have never felt so disappointed as a citizen. I accept the will of the majority. I accept the HONEST will of the majority. I will not accept intimidation or cheating by either side. I am casting my vote for REAL change … Gary Johnson 2012.

    • Seven

      I’m in Florida–a swing state. So I’ve been told any vote NOT for Obama is a vote for Romney and have heard several arguments about it. One vote=one vote. Are the properties of math really altered in a swing state? I’m all for voting one’s mind, heart, soul, and conscious. I voted early. Gary Johnson is my man.

      • Emmit L. Brown

        I Gary Johnson gets 2% of the total votes, and it’s 46% Obama and 46% Romney, they are neck and neck and Gary loses. If, however, Gary receives the more realistic 4%, that same tie proportionately must be 42% and 42%. Sure there are people who feel they might vote one way and then vote another, and say they lean, and sure there are third party voters and their enemies alike that say a third party can’t win (not with that attitude! ;) …but at the end of the day, a vote for a person is a vote for that person, and nobody’s stealing anything. If they want to beat the other big guy so bad, be a better candidate!

        • http://twitter.com/BongBong BongBong

          Hopefully, the alleged 1/3rd of America who consider themselves Independent will not fall in line and simply vote for the two best publicized puppets on the ballot. A vote for Gary Johnson is a rebuke of the duopoly destroying America.

        • http://www.facebook.com/patricktyrus Patrick Tyrus

          With approval voting, the 20% of Obama voters and the 20% of Romney voters that approve of Johnson would mean that 44% approve of Johnson vs 42% for each of the other two. (Heck more might actually vote FOR a candidate so it becomes 56 vs 30 & 30) or instant runoff, you might get 34, 32, 32 >>> runoff to 56 Johnson vs 46 — The only problem with instant runoff is that it throws away the 1st votes when it looks at the second votes. where as the problem with approval is that you can’t say only count these other votes if my first choice doesn’t make it. i.e. Instant Runoff 42/42/4 ignores the fact that 56% might actually approve of Johnson, but split the all 3rd party votes, and you end up with 51/49 (or 42/42 and tossing the rest of the votes because they don’t care to approve or vote Obama or Romney as a second choice).

      • Firefalcon

        That is political rhetoric. If 9 million people do not vote for Obama, their votes are not automatically Romney’s; and vise-versa. They ‘belong’ to the cacandidate that they where cast for. The vote symbolizes the ideals that the voter believes in. If enough votes are cast away from the Dems and Reps, then they might actually start thinking about what they are doing to the population instead of thinking about themselves first.

        • http://www.facebook.com/john.stubs1 John Stubs

          It is not just political rhetoric, because of the outdated electoral college system. Until this is changed people will always perceive an independent party vote a throw away. What is needed is an amendment abolishing the electoral college. Only then will every vote be counted(for presidential elections.) But that being said, I am still voting independently because the only vote thrown away is the one used to vote for someone you don’t believe in.

          • http://www.facebook.com/patricktyrus Patrick Tyrus

            Its not the electoral college. Its the two party system caused by ‘first past the post’. With Instant Runoff, Weighted, or approval voting, you can vote for those that you want your ‘one vote’ to go to. The Electoral college still has a purpous i.e. protect the little states without giving them too much power (the same blend populous vs state power as the two houses). The problem with the electoral college is the ALL OR NOTHING. The college is like many countries parliament electing the prime minister, but not sticking around to make policy (hence our valued separation of powers) THERE IS NO REASON EACH STATES ELECTORAL VOTES can’t be passed on proportionally. We’ve already seen electorates not vote for who there voters told them to. — They are called Faithless electors.

    I learned in the 70′s about the corruption of our government and the two-party machine of the rich ruling elite, and I have been supporting third parties and independents ever since. The silent majority must become the informed, active majority and escape from the two-party crap trap in order to change the course of our Nation and planet!

She’s fed up and you should be too! educate yourself homies!

  • Lamronton

    I liked Regan as well, since he got a lot of people waving the flag again … I served 25 years in the military and he also managed a few pay raises and some well needed equipment. However, I am starting to believe the last real President we had was Kennedy, and the Bankers had him killed as a lesson to all future Presidents, “Do as your told’. If you look back, we were all sold out in the 1930′s, when the Government was broke and asked the Federal Reserve Bank for more money, and the Fed. wanted to know what the government was willing to give as collateral? Our Government, replied … the American people, and Social Security was born.

  • Karlucci94

    I agree with you all that this country was founded for the people, and by the people. The rest of the country may have had the blinders pulled over them by the two party system being ran by both the Democrats and Republicians, but there are those of us waking up to the reality that the country is broken and neither the Democrats or Republicians can fix it. Both the Republicans and Democrats want to help the “mythical” middle class that makes over $125,000 but what about those American’s that live well below the poverty line and are just as hardworking and honest as the middle class but they can barely afford to live life. Where is the help for them to improve their life or are they considered second class citizens?, I think not they deserve to enjoy life as much as anybody else. Time for a change in the country and the leadership of it.

    My mom recently asked me who I was voting for. When I told her I’m conflicted and can’t choose between Jill Stein and Gary Johnson the first thing she said was “Who are they?”. I told her about them and afterwards she said my vote was going to be wasted. My retort was “the only wasted votes are the people who don’t vote and uneducated votes. Voting for Obama because he is not Romney or vise versa and having the narrow field of view that Americans tend to have in thinking there are only two candidates.” This was all proceeded by what I perceived as a two hour discussion but she perceived it as a two hour argument. She felt threatened when I actually told her who Romney was and what he stood for. After about two hours the only thing that changed was she became pissed off at me because stating facts confirmed through various credible sources instead of what the mainstream media puts out there made me seem like a bleeding heart martyr. I am never going to support the two party system as long as greed and corruption are involved. I am also going to promote educated and third party voting. The conflict is, how do we convince Americans to come out of this narrow field of view they have and widen their horizons when it comes to voting? It was apparent to me that with my mom and many Americans they didn’t even want to open their mind to other possibilities. They shutdown and become defensive when the topic comes up. Now is the perfect time to promote real political change mainly because of how disgruntled we are as a nation and the fact that Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are a joke. I just wonder how much longer the opportunity to rip people away from the two party system will be there. How long will it be before politicians start realizing they are pissing people off to the point where it is a threat to them so they start placating us again just so they can keep a hold of the reins? All that only to turn around the betray the people again and continue the vicious cycle. When people tell me they are voting for the lesser of two evils I ask them “So how’s voting for evil working out for you?”. I just don’t understand the lack of action by the American people as a whole. If there is one thing I want to see in my lifetime, it’s to watch the two party system crash and burn.

    Looking backward, the single most damaging thing that’s happened to America over the last 99 years is when state citizens allowed the U.S. Congress to outsource out nation’s money supply to the money-changers at the Federal Reserve Company. Looking forward, the best thing to help America thrive for the next 1000+ years is to expell the money-changers who have a financial choke hold on state citizens. Do this in favor of requiring the U.S. Treasury to create and issue an [interest-free currency], which would not only eliminate the federal debt, but would phase out the need for federal taxation. There is biblical precedence to support this challenge. The only record man has of Jesus being angry is when he overturned the tables in the Temple belonging to the money-changers, and clensed the Temple by expelling them. Americans sould be just as outraged about modern-day money-changers and expel the Fed by not renewing the 100 Year Charter granted to the Company by the U.S. Congress. The Charter, expires in December, 2013.

  • Wsturnage

    Thanks to Free and Equal and RT for providing free and equal time to hear ALL the other candidates and for hosting this second debate. It amazes me how Americans accept the two party monopoly. The average European expects at least 3-4 parties in a major election but Americans believe voting for any other than the R or D candidate is a “wasted” vote. Then we all complain about legislative gridlock in Washington and nothing gets done. When we wake up to the realization the struggle for control over the monopoly by the 2 major brands is responsible for gridlock, we will vote for real change and forging larger coalitions that can effectively govern.

    My first vote was 1968 and I voted for Nixon. Truly a disappointment but looking at the bright side. It was his actions in August 1971 (price controls and breaking the link of the dollar to gold) that was the spark that created the Libertarian Party. See, you can find a silver lining in anything!

  • Forti

    I hate hearing people say that if you vote third party you’re “throwing” your vote away or that you’re “stealing” votes from one of the other candidates! Since when do the Democrats and Republicans own our votes???? The only way to throw away your vote is to vote for someone you truly don’t believe in or agree with and are simply voting for them cause to you they are “the lesser of two evils” you shouldn’t vote for Evil people come on wake up! Vote Gary Johnson he only needs 5% and then the Libertarians can be part of the “regular” debates that most of the sheeple tune into and that means a Libertarian agenda an agenda for real freedom would get to be heard by the general public and it would force the other two candidates to listen and respond to them which could really change things up and would be a major win for freedom, free speech, and the American people. So please don’t waste your vote on someone you truly don’t believe in vote for choice vote for freedom vote for real change vote for Gary Johnson!

When I told him I was a Green and would not be voting for Obama, he said that he envied me voting Green, but that he was afraid (AFRAID is the word he used) that Romney would be elected if he voted Green! OMG! Now Americans are “afraid” to vote their beliefs? Doesn’t this just speak to where we are and where we are going if nothing is done? I told the guy that I am not afraid of democracy and that I won’t be intimidated by the corporate parties into voting for the lesser of…Ug!

    Here is my question: Theoretically, if you manage to gain 5% of the popular vote to qualify for Federal funds for future campaigns, won’t the need to gain greater popularity end up watering down the message? Despite arguments to the contrary, people love big government programs. The public hates to pay for programs and complain about Federal programs for others, yet individuals refuse to vote “popular” programs into obscurity. Therefore, only a candidate and party willing to “bribe” the public in exchange for votes can ever maintain power.

  • WatchTheSecretOfOz

    Do you believe the following are primary ways to help improve the world economy and foreign relations?:

    1) End all fractional reserve lending by private banks. (This will greatly improve the balance of political and financial power in our country and the world. The private banks would lose almost all their control of the main stream media and politicians.)

    2) Only fully government agencies can issue new money (Eliminate private shareholders of the Fed. We pay the Fed’s private shareholders a 6% dividend for no legitimate reason. The Fed should be fully under the government umbrella with only all the U.S. Citizens as owners and their existing charter structure should not be renewed).

    3) Implement a government/state/public-owned banking system in every state, such as the one in North Dakota (Bank of North Dakota). They should be the only ones that should use fractional reserve lending because they are owned by us (the public):

    http://banknd.nd.gov/

    Google “Bank of North Dakota” for more information.

    4) Eliminate the IRS and the Income Tax (we waste close to $500 billion per year on Income Tax compliance, 6.1 billion labor hours wasted per year on compliance due to the extreme complexity of determining net income. Most of the complexity is on the business side).

    5) Implement only one 15% Inflation Tax (see excellent documentary series “Money as Debt parts I, II, and III” and “The Secret of
    Oz”)

    6) Issue electronic rebate checks back to those with low net worth to compensate for the regressive nature of an Inflation Tax.

    7) We should enact a 100% Estate Tax & Gift Tax for ALL money to Heirs exceeding $1 Billion Dollars (including their bogus ‘Foundation’ fronts) to help end Plutocracy. ALL the extra money should go directly to fund Education, Training, and Green jobs throughout the United States. Consider that Germany already gets over 20% of its energy from renewables and many countries far
    out-perform us in education and training.

    “A meaningful estate tax is needed to prevent our democracy from becoming a dynastic plutocracy.” -Warren Buffett

    Ask yourself what Hillary Clinton once asked: Do we want a Plutocracy or Meritocracy? (paraphrased)

    8) Eliminate the National Debt (Private bankers currently create money out of thin air, then loan it to us at interest. We can simply print our own money and not give private bankers huge amounts of undeserved/unearned interest.)

    9) The new Federal Reserve banking system would be the 100% publicly-owned. Fed in the center and the new member banks would only be 100% publicly-owned State banks. The private banks would have to fend for themselves, only loaning money they actually have. I’m only a fan of government doing what is truly a public service. Creating currency is clearly a unique public service – and should not be a way to line the pockets of any private bankers.

    The International Monetary Fund (IMF) recently released a report called “The Chicago Plan Revisited” in August 2012, supporting the notion of money being created directly from the government, eliminating the private banks CURRENT ability to charge interest on money they created out of thin-air. They could only charge interest on money they actually have. Enacting the “Chicago Plan” world-wide would help correct the balance of power and quickly grow the economy.

    “First, in our calibration the Chicago Plan generates longer-term output gains approaching 10 percent.” – IMF, The Chicago Plan Revisited, August 2012

    Lots of great comments on this page. I’m proud to call myself a Gary Johnson supporter. We get what we vote for. If we vote for someone we don’t really agree with, we get a president we don’t really agree with. In every recent political discussion I’ve had, Romney and Obama supporters NEVER include content, principle, policy, etc, in their arguments, ONLY cynical, snide strategy regurgitations. Last night this guy interrupted my rebuttal to the “lesser of two evils” argument with: “the world is full of evil.” So, in a country of explorers, adventurers, frontiersmen, rebels, and trailblazers, “that’s just how it is, accept it!” is now so commonplace. Well, I don’t accept this and am part of the solution.

    A vote for Johnson is a vote to deal with the root cause of the disease, not just pick away at the symptoms. The root cause is the Federal Reserve system and the failure of our government to follow basic economic good sense, to allow the law of supply and demand to operate freely, and to stop the deficit spending immediately.

    How about letting us vote up or down on the submitted questions?

    `Why didn’t any one respond to the valid court evidence submitted to this orginazation on the criminal actions of a Democratic Baltimore County Executive, Kevin B. Kamrnetz ??? I submitted by overnight mail all of the “Best” valid court evidence necessary to start a criminal investigation on him, yet NO ONE even tried to find out the truth.
    Does anyone out there really want to know the truth and to elect an honest person, or is this political race for an honest President really just a game ???
    PLEASE don’t let this be so.

    I can only hope that the Free and Equal debates become a lasting tradition and eventually substitute for those sponsored by the Democratic and Republican Parties. I have grown weary of the game of Donkeys and Elephants and am proud to say that I did not watch even a minute’s worth of this year’s presidential debates sponsored by these two parties.

    Thanks for the opportunity to ask a question.

    I will vote 3rd party, as I usually do as a protest vote while voting my heart/mind. But, IMO, ‘just another 3rd party’ is not the solution. We need a 3rd party with a different political attitude. A party founded in rules to forever shunt the money influence in gov’t/politics. A party designed to focus the agenda on abolishing corporate personhood followed by the implementation of REAL campaign finance reform. Neither can happen without such a 3rd party effort. We need a party with some new wrinkles like having members serve as oversight for their elected officials and allowing state level party members to vote up/down on a nationwide basis for US senators and representatives of their party. A representation of such a party can be found a http://www.republicsentry.com.

    I wish the debate hadn’t been postponed due to Sandy…I’m sure a lot more people will/would have voted Third Party. I can’t wait until the election is over…it’s been grueling being on Yahoo Answers all the time pumping up support for Gary Johnson =)

    My question that I hope is asked: Please explain your position on corporations like Monsanto patenting GMO seeds and using their patents to conquer conventional and organic farmers through legal battles when their GMO seeds contaminate the farmers crops. Thank you very much.

    The Obama administration appointed MONSANTO’S VICE PRESIDENT Michael Taylor AS SENIOR ADVISOR to the COMMISSIONER AT THE FDA. This is the same man that was in charge of FDA policy when GMO’s were allowed into the US food supply without undergoing a single test to determine their safety. He “had been Monsanto’s attorney before becoming policy chief at the FDA. Clarence Thomas on the Supreme Court was a Monsanto lawyer, The U.S. Secretary of Agriculture (Anne Veneman) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto’s Calgene Corporation. The Secretary of Defense (Donald Rumsfeld) was on the Board of Directors of Monsanto’s Searle pharmaceuticals. The list goes on with Sec. of Health & congressmen. Question: What are your thoughts or plans regarding Monsanto’s incredible influence in government affairs and the safety of the food we eat – what are your thoughts regarding Monsanto in general?

    Will u seek the gold silver standard and stop the manipulation of precious metals by JP Mprgan and Citi Bank to the Govt’s benefit and blessing. Can u really support the federal reserve being a non govermental private bank? Out to loot us and create debt slaves? Can we not round up all evil politicians and lizzards and just hang them?

    I cannot support a two party system that is broker and not going to allow third party involvement since they know many Americans would vote for us Independents. How you live and spend your money is just as important as how you vote or more so.

    Live healthier, green, shop local, boycott Wal Marts, buy American (www.madeinusaforever.com) live simpler so others can LIVE

    No matter who wins the election tomorrow, I believe it will be a win for the Libertarian Party if we are able to get 5% or more of the vote.
