    I live in Maryland, so it doesn't matter who I vote for, the state will go Democrat. I am likely voting for Johnson, not because I like him, but because it will help the next election to have a large showing for the Libertarian Party.

    My main issue is that Johnson has come out and said he is going to disband the NSA (except the remote offices), and the IRS. So, who does he expect to secure government communications, or analyse the intel coming in from those remote locations, and who does he expect will collect taxes to support the country? This most basic of lack of understanding scares the hell out of me if he were to become president. Also, both of these agencies are executive branch, so it is within the power of the president to actually follow through with this.

    He also said he is going to pardon Snowden, which would be a very big mistake. Snowden committed treason, he may have revealed some things that might have been illegal or unconstitutional, but he also caused many problems worldwide. Snowden revealed how the NSA tracked Russia, which led to this:

    which caused the annexation of Crimea and the Eastern Ukraine issues. Snowden has Ukrainian blood on his hands.

    This isn't the first time she had physical issues, there was also this one:

    And I seem to remember hearing she collapsed at some other point, but I may be remembering the same incident.

    Also, she claimed to the FBI that she did not recall taking the classified information briefing that the state department has records of her taking yearly. How could someone possibly forget taking that training when it is a yearly activity?

    Her having possible health issues isn't just something the Right is making up, there are many indications. You can also try to claim that this survey was biased, but Doctors should be able to identify people having serious issues and trying to hide them, it is kind of part of the job:

You cannot cash a check without ID, you can't buy alcohol or cigarettes, you can't even get government assistance without ID.

    George W Bush administration started a fucking war for no other reason than to try to impress his daddy

    Which war was that? Iraq was about WMD, despite Democratic politicians trying to rewrite history, and Afghanistan was about breaking Al Qaeda's training grounds.

    Some WMD were found (buried chemical weapons, as well as the ones used in Syria to attack the civilian population), and if you paid any attention before the Iraq war, you would have seen Saddam acting like he was going to gas Iran and that he was building a nuke. At the time, he was denying weapons inspectors access to the facilities that were believed to be being used for building a nuke (which turned out to be hot air) and manufacturing chemical weapons (also turned out to be hot air), but there was no way to know at the time, unless you were psychic.

    http://politics.slashdot.org/c...

    Even Hillary was all out for the war, and not too long before Bush took office, Bill Clinton was suggesting we would have to invade to stop their WMD production.

    Perhaps you should stop parroting that crap when I am sure you know it is crap.
