GOP Suing to Keep Third Parties Off Ballot in November

"Around the country, the Republican Party is mounting legal challenges to keep third-party candidates off the ballot in November.

Writer Karl Dickey reports in the Examiner that “in recent weeks, with the full support and legal assistance of the Republican Party, [Gary] Johnson's ballot status has been challenged in Michigan, Pennsylvania, the District of Columbia, Iowa and now Ohio." Gary Johnson (pictured) is the former governor of New Mexico and the Libertarian Party’s candidate for president of the United States. As of this writing, Johnson is on the ballot in 43 states."

That way you can rationalize your political cowardice and laziness as “principal”.

It's brave and energetic to support RINOs?

And then you people wonder why you always lose.

I don't - we lose because too many "conservatives" can be counted on to drink the RINO Kool-Aid every election cycle.

[manc]

exactly, Johnson is a libertarian let him run as one and not as a republicans seing as he is not one.

the left have been running candidates and pretending they were republicans, hell they even did it in my county.

Soros is so desperate to get this next term when they have nothing to lose and sadly we have some who fall for his crap.
Sadly too that we have some who saw their guy lose and cannot come to terms he lost so therefore they whine on here.
BTW I wanted Newt but do remember a couple who was so much behind their candidate that they are still not seeing clearly

[manc]

while Romney is no conservative and you saw your guy lose then wil you sit out in this election and watch maybe obama win another term?

[Ron H.]

.... Is it 2016 yet, ....

Pretty much what was being said back in 2007-08. Is it 2012 yet?!

[cripplecreek]

Apparently so.

Unlike you, I have no master who owns my vote. Now mind your cotton boy.

[GeronL]

?

Third parties have been around forever. They are meaningless as long as the two parties represent the views that their members want. No need for fascist tactics.

I remember how the moderate RINO’s hated Reagan and backed Bush in the primaries. The mods tried to treat Reagan like they treated Palin.

When Mod/RINO’s don’t get their way they try and sabotage the conservatives. Some things never change.

If you people cannot get off your asses and organize enough people to nominate a GOP candidate you prefer, you are never going to do the much harder work of organizing a viable 3rd party.

But then none of you want to actually do the hard work of moving the political ball down the field, you just want to be able to sit on your asses and bitch about those who DO do the work.

[Safrguns]

So the GOP is willing to sue third party candidates, but will not challenge the democrat party on the validity of their candidate???

Who is REALLY in charge of the GOP???

Looks to me like the GOP is secretly being taken over by the democrats.

[manc]

again you come out with soem twisted weird answer, all it took was a yes or no.

Again seeing as your guy did not win then are you going to stay at home and not vote at all ?

simple frigging question even if you want to harp on about plantations and cotton for some weird bizarre reason.

yes or no will you vote in this election even though what you have seen in the last 4 years.?

await your one word answer

[yield 2 the right]

Where have the true conservative presidential tickets gone gone?

[manc]

it’s johnson, remember him?

The guy is not a republican but tried to run as a republican, HE LOST and now wants to pretend to be a republican again and run as third party.

Either sore loser, either Soros butt boy which we know he likes the left anyway or he;s trying to split the vote and just take een a 1000 votes his way and lose a swing state.

[joe fonebone]

WOW!!!

that was very arrogant of you..

how about us folks that refuse to vote for a socialist, either a democrat or a republican socialist???

my guess is you are not a conservative, but a republican party hack.....

go away

[cripplecreek]

When Mod/RINO’s don’t get their way they try and sabotage the conservatives. Some things never change.

And sometimes they stomp off stage like angry little girls and actively work to destroy the nominee.



What really cracks me up is the clowns who puff their chests out talking about the democrat plantation dwellers only to turn around and behave exactly the same way.

[JRandomFreeper]

If you people can't get off your tails and force the GOP to quit changing the rules after the vote... or holding early primaries, or holding open primaries, or stuff a sock in Rove's mouth... and nominate a real conservative, don't expect my vote.

I am working, hard, downticket to remove GOP-E droids like Dewhurst.

Mind your party, if you want me to vote for it at the top of the ticket.

[manc]

simple really

they did not get the votes in the primary or did not run.

My guy Newt was pissed all over but I;m sure as hell not wanting obama.
In this election we have obama or the RINO.

we can;t take 4 more years of this socialist , you can always stay home and say proudly, “I stayed home and shown the GOP what I think who cares if obama got another term”

[cripplecreek]

Yes.

[JRandomFreeper]

yes or no will you vote in this election even though what you have seen in the last 4 years.?

I will be voting.

I will not be voting for a liberal from any party.

A moldy cheese curd could beat Obama this year, why is the GOP going out of its way to slam conservatives?

I have considered before responding to you and your poorly thought out and irrational posts such as this one but I suspect conservative logic would be lost on you as is with many other moderate Romney suck-ups hanging out here on FreeRepublic, a premier conservatives web site. To me you appear to represent what a soft around the middle moderate troll must be like and up to.
