I know that some freepers are reluctant to vote for Romney because he's not conservative enough. Few of us wanted him to be the Republican nominee, and for good reason. This is why I'm voting Libertarian this year. I know the mantra, a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote for Obama, but that's not true in deep blue states like mine (New York). I propose that conservatives in deep blue states agree to vote 3rd party. In return, conservatives in toss up states can hold their noses while voting for Romney.
Sounds like a reasonable idea in a way. I live in Kal-i-fornia and my vote is meaningless. I might have to consider what it means to vote for a 3rd party though. Maybe I should vote for Roseanne Barr, or Mickey Mouse instead.
We are not only voting against Barack Obama, but we are also voting against Eric Holder, Kathleen Sebelius, Janet Napalitano, Hillary Clinton and her apparently soon to come replacement John “I was in VietNam” Kerry, Valerie Jarrett and the rest of the Obama Chicago Thug Machine.
Think about it.
0bama's ineptitude, crass political opportunism, and utter void where his patriotism should be led to the bloody murder of four good Americans in Benghazi.
I don't see R0mney throwing our men to the wolves like that.
FWIW.
“A single vote never matters, since no race will ever be decided by a one-vote margin.”
You act just like obama by laying out a fake strawman argument then attempting to draw conclusions off of that. Garbage in, garbage out!!

NM is full of Indians dependent on welfare, social programs and food stamps. Whomever promises to provide more of the same gets the votes...

Since I believe in Miracles, I refuse to give in to the CA Democrats (Communists) and the Obama Regime (Communists)without a fight. Lots of other people and issues on the Ballot that needed our support as well.
Exactly what do you think will be accomplished with your Grand Bargain? This question is coming from a 1992 Perot Voter, so I know what can happen when a Third, Fourth or Fifth Party Candidate robs Votes from the Republican.
To this day I regret my Political ignorance of 20 years ago.
How about, a vote for Gary Johnson is a vote that shows you are incapable of simple reasoning or math. People vote for Gary Johnson for one of two reasons, a big pumped up ego that thinks you are better than everyone else and won't soil yourself in the trenches getting rid of Obama, or two, you like pot.
Ok,maybe I am wrong here but what about the states that have passed the “popular vote” laws?
You know, that’s an argument that I’ve never considered. Though we all know that these states (all blue) would renege if it gave Romney the Presidency, the hypocrisy would be impossible to hide. Your argument is something I’m going to have to consider.
Most of those “laws” don’t go into force until a certain number of states do the same. I don’t think any state is doing it this time.
