    Mitt was a corporate raider. I agree that he is better prepared to be a president. He's already an expert at Moral Hazard. His entire company existed to take risks with other people's money.

    Remember.

    Obama can never again be referred to without FLIP-FLOP references.

    Gary Johnson can't fight the republican establishment and the DNC at the same time.
    Wishful thinking at best.

    So it's better for Conservatvies to support the Republican establishment big government collectivist flip-flopper candidate instead of the Libertarian who actually believes in small government, constitutionalism, and fiscal responsibility?

    Not really.

    If Johnson wanted to be president he should have gotten the Republican nomination when it was still up for grabs.

    Why would he run for a party with zero principles who are willing to put forward a big government collectivist as their candidate?

    Gary Johnson couldn't get a vote with a vaccuum cleaner. I hate to tell you this, but Obama has made the libertarian party a sure thing to get almost no votes from the right. Although you might get a lot of disaffected democrats. Go troll them for votes.

    Because either Obama or the Republican candidate will be the next president.

    Which makes Johnson a distraction and nothing else.

    Hey, don't look now, but that's what you do in a business. You take a risk of success or failure. There is no middle ground in business. You win or you lose. Your attempt to make it evil is laughable.

    You know Romney is a shoe in. Ron does not have much of a chance. My pick is already gone.

    So we have:

    1. Flip flopper Obama
    2. Romney
    3. Johnson.

    Anyone but selection 1 I say. However, keep in mind that a vote for Johnson is the same as a vote for Stalin's ghost(i.e. it ain't gonna happen no matter how logical the fantasy land concept is).

    But the Republican candidate is a principle-less Marie Antoinette big government statist.

    How the (*)(*)(*)(*) can Conservatives who claim to support small goverment support this guy? Conservatives should be supporting either Ron Paul or Johnson. And since Conservatives make up a much larger portion of the population than Liberals, whoever they support is going to end up being the nominee in the Republican party.

    I can only assume because of this that Conservatives secretly actually support big government statism.

    I might not have vote for Johnson in the primary but if he won the Republican nomination I would have voted for him in the general.

    But the choice now is Obama or Romney.

    Johnson simply does not exist anymore.

    Based on where the money is spent and the mobilization is at, the results of a vote may have little to nothing to do with popular opinion. They may also have little or nothing to do with the different (yet overlapping) population who will show up for a presidential election.

    No, usually in a business you take risks with your own money, or at least money from people from own your company.

    Mitt played fast and loose with other people's money.

    The one good thing is that now he is perfectly prepared to gamble with your tax dollars. Hope you don't mind absorbing his losses.

    You could be right about that.

    But Obama is worse.

    My idea is send Der Black Fuhrer packing and then become the loyal opposition to Romney whenever he tries pandering to the libs.

    I think that the US is moving forward with this and it will inspire a lot of people. I think it's great that he showed his support even if it is a political move.

    I think you are playing coy.

    It's no mystery that so called "conservativism" today, doesn't stand for any of the principals they claim. They are turning out to be just as much statist, as their pals on the left.

    They only lick the boot on the right foot, that's the difference.

    Are you then going to support a Democrat in 2016 so you can get rid of the (*)(*)(*)(*) up that is Romney?

    Why do conservatives care so much about gay people.

    I'm a conservative and I don't consider myself a big government statist at all.

    But your willing to vote for one?

    You're pretty mercenary with your principles then.

    That may be, but your own party hasn't got that memo yet.
