Absolutely untrue. If Gary Johnson can get 5% of the vote, then in 2016 we will FINALLY break the monopoly of the Dem/Rep two party bullcrap. It will mean that we will have a third party that will have access to equal TV time, to campaign funding, and the debates. If we can get a third party in, we can get a fourth, etc... A vote for Gary Johnson is a vote to break open the monopoly in place, and the rules will allow that to happen if he can get to 5% this time around. He is at that level in quite a few states right now.
I'm totally tired of the two parties switching posltions depending on who is in power. Notice how anti-war the Dems were with a Republican in office? Now they couldn't care less about babies being bombed by Drones. Republicans that didn't care about spending when Bush was in office are now freaked out about it under Obama.
The two party system has become meaningless. It has come down to team A vrs team B, and both will be for anything their team does, and anti anything the other one does, even if those things overlap or switch over.
