Presidential Candidate Says Electoral Process Hijacked

they insisted that the three GOP front runners now are Romney, then Perry, then Gingrich.

How'd that happen? LOL.

What I want to know is why if Gov. Johnson is not allowed in the debates are we still seeing Santorum, Bachmann, and Huntsman? They are just dead weight sucking valauble air time away and I don't think Johnson polls any lower than Santorum.

I have a hunch they keep him out not because he polls any lower than Santorum, but because he gives legitimacy to Pauls message. The minute he said he'd pick Paul for VP in that debate, people thought hmm. we better get this guy out of there or we'll have two Libertarians to deal with. You better believe if Paul didn't poll so high he wouldn't be there either.

Here is an interesting perspective from libertariannews.org:

Never forget that the State is an evil violent institution that holds a monopoly on the use of violence within a given geographical region. The application of democracy to such an institution will always result in the most power-hungry, wealthy and perverted people assuming control over it. It takes wealth to run an election campaign. It takes connections between powerful interests to raise the money necessary for a campaign staff. The power of the State is custom tailored to suit the needs of business interests.

Such an institution can not be controlled through the ballot box. The wealthy can always buy the media they need to ensure their people are consistently elected to positions of power. Once in power, the State is then used as a shield to protect those to engage in evil.

The State protects billionaire bankers from charges of theft by legally handing them trillions of tax payer dollars in bailouts, grants, insurance contracts, and fractional reserve base money.

For one it could lead to even further "laws" dictating who can or can't "qualify" to run for president. That itself worries me BUT the one law at the federal level would be an "equal candidate" law so that anyone who can fork out that 1 million or whatever gets the same face time.

No "hit ads" or other ads that one candidate can RISE above the rest. It shouldn't be some long drawn out thing but I think could be dealt with within a months time.

Have a couple debates and a couple nationwide polls and call it DONE. No dirty political ads or other bs. They stand with their platform and thats it.

Let their record and their plan BE their reason to get elected and not simply how well they give a speech like obama and cain and romney...

Gary is a good guy but there were others running BEHIND HIM that aren't even talked about either so once you fight for one of the candidates then you better do it for ALL OF THEM.

I like how Ron ROSE about the b.s this time compared to last time because ron was treated like Gary back during rons 2007 run but WE got him noticed which inturn helped for this cycle.

It is very one sided but at least they are so biased they TRASH anyone not in the top 2. Hell look at the coverage they do on bachmann now that they don't want her in the "top tier".

Hell they are propping up newt right now LOL, yet another great talker but what good does a great speech do for anyone. Sure we feel all warm and fuzzy during the speech but what happens when you go home and the country is still in shambles?

I think we should get behind this and make a huge stink about it. There are several good things that can come of it.

1) Enlighten more people about how it's rigged.
2) We defend Gary Johnson, nobody blames us for whining about Dr. Paul.
3) Gary Johnson looks like the next best thing to Dr. Paul ten years down the road.
4) He's completely right. It's rigged. Let's shine some light on this criminal process.
5) More Gary Johnson people come to RP for this election cycle
6) More reasonable people see all the BS that Ron Paul has had to go through and how the media is marginalizing him, too (and we won't really have to say anything about that if we show the process working against Johnson).

Do you really want to stand around letting your feet go to sleep listening to some dufuses rave about mowing the lawn?

Don't these Neros know Rome is burning?

What we really need are a series of one-on-one round robin policy discussions between gentleman candidates who want to do what is best for this country.

Ask Ron's campaign for the opportunity.

Show it on Youtube.

Perhaps you could shame the other candidates and MSM into some constructive patriotism.

How did that happen, isn't this the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Gary Johnson to endorse Ron Paul. The advantage is RP can appoint GJ to a post that will enhance his position in the next election.

This is going to be necessary if we are going to finish what RP started. It is not going to just end with this election. It is going to take years and a committed base to make this happen.

Ron will be a one term President, Gary could do one or two with Rand gaining experience. We must look after Ron but Not lose the immediate situation.

It is time to look here and down the road. We need Gary to move the Libertarian/libertarian vote to Ron. It is not much but it needs to be done.

If Ron does not win the Libertarian party is OVER!! The Republican party is OVER!!!

Slavery is all that is left.

The Progressives both Republican/Democrat will have won.

the real hijacking has been at the level of the electoral college ... seated by establishment democrats and republicans ... they will never allow a real conservative into office as seen with the landslide against barry goldwater.

What they have done is just so despicable.

Ron Paul supporter here, but like most commenting I greatly admire Governor Johnson. My advice to the governor, "Let Ron Paul get the ball rolling for a good eight years, then pick up where he leaves off." After your term(s) Rand Paul will be waiting in the wings and maybe...just maybe...we'll get this country turned around again.

Personally, I would have MUCH rather heard lively intellectual/philosophical discussion between Gary and Ron than the constant and childish bickering between Mitt and Rick or that incessant "9-9-9" nonsense!

Johnson should be the dismantle the cabinet departments czar.

Someone explain to me how a candidate is supposed to get into the debates if none of the polls even include the candidate's name? It's so rigged.
