And you think the Nanny-state-icrats are going to give you all the liberties you desire?
Why won't you just admit GJ is better by almost every measure than Obama?
GJ would destroy the two main candidates in a debate, so what's the story?

nothing against Johnson
But realistically he is not running
And i remember the last time a 3rd party candidate ran
We got Bush for 8 years

I'd argue votes for GJ are votes taken away from Fuhrer Romney, the Libertarian leaning "Ron Paul Republicans" have all switched their vote to GJ.

Good question
I guess it depends on if the candidate was taking guidance from god or was named Joe Lieberman

The "Mormon Prophet" is a prophet of God and is also known as the President of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Latter-day Saints believe that God has an interest in talking to man, and does so through His prophets, whether ancient or modern. The Bible contains a record of God's dealings with prophets in the past, as do the Book of Mormon and the Pearl of Great Price. Modern scripture, such as the Doctrine and Covenants, contains a record of God’s dealings with prophets in modern days.
As of February 2008, the current prophet is Thomas S. Monson..
A campaign aide points out that Gov. Romney uses his iPad to read scriptures, which could explain why he glanced down at his lap a couple time during the service. (It’s true that there are a number of apps that contain a complete compilation of Mormon scripture, including the New and Old Testaments, Book of Mormon, Doctrine & Covenants, and the Pearl of Great Price. But your pooler wasn’t close enough to see what he was looking at.)

Candidate's Personal FaithOctober 2, 2012 - NPR addresses the lack of both Obama and Romney not wearing their faith on their sleeves, unlike the 2008 election. According to the article, Obama talks more about how faith shaped his values (including the Golden Rule) and Romney does not want to “remind people in his conservative base that he is a Mormon and he is not an evangelical Christian.”
August 21, 2012 - Obama and Romney were interviewed by Cathedral Age on personal faith and religion in the public sphere. Their answers differed most greatly on the separation between church and state.
Romney suggested that the role of faith in public life is perhaps under threat and relies on the judiciary to keep it in place. Obama appeared keener than his rival to endorse the status quo.
August 19, 2012 - Romney invited members of the media to join him at a Mormon service in New Hampshire.
August 19, 2012 - Obama and his family attended service one block away from the White House at St. John's Episcopal Church.
August 14, 2012 - By selecting Paul Ryan as his running mate, Romney has put together a ticket with no Protestant Christian, a first for Republicans or Democrats in modern political history.
July 21, 2012 - In a speech to a wounded nation, presidential hopeful Mitt Romney returned to his roots of faith in the face of a national tragedy - the Colorado shootings. It was a rare public expression of faith for the candidate who has kept much of his faith private. "We can offer comfort to someone near us who is suffering or heavy laden," he said, a reference to the Gospel of Matthew where Jesus tells a crowd, "Come to me all ye who are heavy laden and I will give you rest, for my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
June 4, 2012 – The Los Angeles Times reports that neither Obama nor Romney is talking much about religion any longer. Potential reasons include a focus on the economy, the private nature of both candidates, and their reluctance to talk about an issue that voters could perceive negatively.
May 17, 2012 – A Republican super PAC plan, which is awaiting approval, calls for running commercials linking Mr. Obama to incendiary comments by his former spiritual adviser, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.
May 9, 2012 – Obama quotes his Christian religion and The Golden Rule as the motivating factors behind his support for same-sex marriage.
March 15, 2012 - Gingrich cited the Book of Proverbs as a reason for staying in the primary: "I've stayed in the race because I think that Proverbs is right ... 'without vision, people perish.'"
March 12, 2012 – A poll by Public Policy Polling asks Republicans in Alabama about Obama’s faith. Forty-six percent believe he is Muslim, 41% aren’t sure, and 14% believe he is Christian.
January 26, 2012 – During a Republican presidential debate, several candidates discussed personal faith in the context of their roles as leaders.
December 5, 2011 – A pro-Romney ad doesn't mention Gingrich but makes the contrast by painting Romney as a strong family, church and business leader. The implied comparison is with his chief rival at the time -- three times married, a Catholic convert and the former U.S. House Speaker.
October 18, 2011 – In a Republican debate, Newt Gingrich stated: “And I, frankly, would be really worried if somebody assured me that nothing in their faith would affect their judgments, because then I'd wonder, where's your judgment—how can you have judgment if you have no faith?”

I'm curious as to how being a member of the NRA, and at the same time being anti-assault weapon, is a flip flop. Maybe in your little world, with all that Obongo spooge you've been drinking, it has affected your brain to the point to where this seems in- congruent. T'aint so Sadie.

UHM...because The NRA believes in NO gun restrictions and a assault rifle ban is an obvious restriction?.....
