Stoners help Romney win election

here ya go COF, yer gonna like this ...

Third-party candidates never get elected President, but they do affect elections. Just think about Ralph Nader's 97,000 votes in Florida in 2000. This year two third-party candidates could affect results, although they balance out. In Virginia, Constitution Party candidate Virgil Goode may siphon off enough votes from Mitt Romney to throw the state to President Obama. But Goode is not the only minor candidate running for President. In Colorado, Libertarian Party candidate Gary Johnson is running on a platform that includes legalizing marijuana. It just so happens that a measure to legalize and tax marijuana like alcohol is also on the ballot in Colorado and looks like it might pass. There is good chance that normally stoned pot heads who might otherwise vote for Obama decide to vote for Johnson to emphasize their support for legalization. In such a close election, if Obama loses even 1% of the Colorado vote to Johnson, it could swing the state to Romney and possibly with it, the presidency.

got zig zag?

The Gary Johnson votes won't hurt Obama. They will hurt Romney much more.

Small government fans outnumber potheads considerably. A lot of small government advocates mostly vote Republican, but occasionally vote Libertarian if the GOP candidate is a big government tool. I voted Libertarian in 2008 instead of for McCain in protest to, among other things, McCain-Feingold free speech "reform". Not to mention Sarah Palin.

Libertarians and small government types gave up on the Democrats decades ago. Now they just draw votes away from the GOP from time to time.

Wrong, good sir. Just because you don't see us does not mean we arent just as plenty as the folks that hobby quietly (major majority.)
I've seen preachers a plenty. Don't underestimate a group of folks because of a prejudice. So, right on man! But ya, he won't win. If one of the current two running would claim that, i would look carefully in his direction.
