Libertarian presidential nominee Gov. Gary Johnson released the following statement in response to Tuesday night’s debate:
America’s challenges and the crises we face demand a real debate — not dueling Phil Donahue acts carping at one another over who is worse.
I defy anyone who watched the debate to identify a plan from either the Republican or Democrat that will achieve a balanced budget. Behind the fuzzy math and the quibbling, there was nothing more than a commitment to continue the status quo — with at most a few minor adjustments. We don’t need adjustments. We need a fundamental reduction in the role and cost of government, and both Romney and Obama are fundamentally big-government guys.
We watched a blame game over immigration, while the problem festers with no solution in sight. We heard quibbling over whose government plan would have saved GM better, but nothing about why the government should be bailing out any company at all. And we heard cheap shots about government-run health care from two candidates who both support it. Where is the reasonable argument that government shouldn’t be running health care in the first place?
On the attacks in Libya, the debate we must have is not over what we call it or when; we need a debate over why we were there at all.
There are clear choices in this election, but they weren’t on the stage tonight.

Gary Johnson is the only choice this election year to get this country back on track and restore the liberties being stripped away from the American people. Let’s stop voting for the lesser of two evils. Let’s stop voting for one just to keep another out! Let’s START voting based on principle! #GaryJohnsonHasMyVote Gary Johnson for President 2012!

Honestly, I don’t know how Gary managed to watch enough to comment. The minute I saw made me want to jump out a window.
Why does Goldman Sachs contribute money to both political parties? Why contribute to either if the results do not matter? Because the results do matter! Only the third parties threaten their ability to create money out of thin air. This is why they want to keep either establishment party in office. There is no real difference between them. Both of the establishment candidates support the NDAA, Patriot Act, SOPA, TrapWire, military intervention, failed drug war, corporate welfare, gun control, healthcare, etc. The majority of Americans want to see the FED audited. But American’s will be kept blind to the fraud taking place right in front of them. Why?
