That’s all well and good, but the fact is that a vote for Gary Johnson is NOT a vote AGAINST Obama.

Should have brought up the economic mess Obama is going to “inherit” from himself if he gets reelected.

Good thing that wasn't a robocall. If nobody picks up, they mark the occupant down as an Obama voter by default.

Funny that people get po’d about all the lying the O admin does and then right here on FR people keep saying that a vote for someone other than Obama is really a vote for him. Unless you can show how the vote for anyone else gets counted in the Obama tally, actually adding to his overall total, please stop embarrassing yourself and the rest of the thinking people here.

I have difficulty believing this person actually stayed on the phone with you for this whole conversation. His idiot volunteers usually hang up as soon as they hear someone disagree with their feelings. And that’s a FACT!!!!

In the context of this conversation, it really doesn't matter. It allows the Obama caller to have to defend his positions and actions in a way that doesn't permit attacking Romney.

It's absolutely brilliant, imho. Well done and executed!

The next step should be to enter that dialogue into whatever program was used to develop this exchange about Quantitative Easing and post it on youtube.

Did you vote for Perot? How did that work out?

This is going to be close and Romney needs every anti-obama vote he can get to get Team Kenya out of the White House.

Libertarians are great when it comes to financial issues. They go off the deep end on national security and social issues. Gary Johnson said Iran is not any serious threat:

Johnson also says Iran’s nuclear program isn’t a threat to the United States because the principle of “mutually assured destruction.”

Obviously, this man has no clue about the philosophy of radical Islam and their belief system.

Respectfully, Is there any way Dan from Squirrel Hill can be convinced not to vote for Obama by voting for Gary Johnson?

  Well! I guess she had to be going. :)

  Anyway - excellent call - and I'm also voting for Gary Johnson.

When a leftist denies facts you make no progress reciting facts. Try asking 'what if' questions. E.G., what if Zero granted unions health care wavers? What would you think him then?

No and that’s not the point.

A vote for anyone is a vote FOR that person. Period.

THAT is the point and spouting BS about some fantasy that Obama magically gets those votes makes the spouter look and sound like a liberal whether he is or not.

Accept that some will not vote Romney whether you approve or not. Accept that a vote for whoever is a vote for that person. Because you don’t have a choice. Reality cares nothing for your wants.

That’s your opinion.../s

Just to ensure, I understand your statement is...a fact.

I like it, too. If he had said he is voting for Romney, the caller would have hung up sooner. This Gary Johnson bit gave the caller "HOPE" to "CHANGE" and the hook was set.

It sounded like the caller was perplexed towards the end. Maybe, the technique might have her thinking more on her own. Good job.

I also like keeping them on the line a long time. The Obama lemming would have made 2 or 3 more calls if not for this call.

"Unless you can show how the vote for anyone else gets counted in the Obama tally.."

Are you really that slow, Obama boy, or are you just pretending to be as a rhetorical device?

Just because you posted this on FR doesn’t mean it’s true...

its great when liberals call on you for something then you turn the conversation around and they backpedal...

last year i was cutting my lawn and this hippy chick walks onto my property- she said she was from some NY environmental group and asked me if i would sign a petition to get the US off of fossil fuels (while i was sitting on my gasoline chugging lawn tractor none-the-less)...

i asked her what alternatives was she offering...”renewables!!”...i asked her what type of renewables could i put in my cars gas tank to get me to work on Monday to pay for all the gov’t programs for the poor??

“uh- well we have nothing yet”....

i then asked about nuclear energy...”no- no nuclear, just renewables like wind!!”...i asked if she was going to put one of those wind things, the one that kills all the birds, in her parents yard...”well, we don’t have a wind farm yet”...

i then reminded her that i heard this pathetic argument 30 years earlier when the environuts were screaming to stop nuclear energy and as a result America was behind nations like France who have so much nuclear power they export it- never mind states like Vermont....

she realized she was defeated and her only response was “you watch Fox news don’t you?”...i told her i sure as hell don’t watch MSNBC....
