Gary Johnson already has an awesome running mate in Judge Jim Gray. Unfortunately Dr. Paul will be retiring this year anyway...smh

Ron Paul's ideas may have been good in the 1970's but not now. At best he's a fringe candidate. I just think he lacks popular appeal.

Ron Paul and Gary Johnson have the same views: they have less differences, than obama and romney. Johnson should, and can, win. but out of the two "main" people, obama is the better choice.

Ron Paul and Gary Johnson share the same foundation of their views. The main reason Ron Paul moved from the Libertarian ticket in '88 and back to the Republican ticket was to receive more media attention and, thus, spread the Libertarian ideas. He did a great job igniting the idea of Liberty; but, by not endorsing Gary Johnson, neo-Libertarians are split between whether to write Ron Paul onto the ballot or whether to check Gary Johnson. This will give a false view of the true prevalence of Libertarianism, and perpetuate the idea that Libertarian candidates are unelectable to the believers of the flawed "wasted vote" idea.

Time to end the control of the USA by 1% ers and neocons who prefer making all Americans sacrifice for what they claim is our one "ally". A true ally shares sacrifice. The only politician with the guts to do that is Ron Paul. I support ending our absurd wars for others.

No because you can't change how the Libertarian party selects their President/Vice President. The Presidential nominee does not select the Vice Presidential candidate. The Vice Presidential candidate is selected by a vote of the party members at the Libertarian convention (just like they select the Presidential candidate). It would be great if Ron Paul endorsed Gary Johnson but the ticket will not be changed.

In my opinion this question doesn't even make sense. Ron Paul and Gary Johnson, first off each already have a running mate, and 2nd they don't have the same stance on many of the issues. They wouldn't belong on the same ticket.

v Yes, he should

Mixed. Yes he should because it's the principles that brought out the GOP vote in the primaries, and that's the principle we need in the WhiteHouse. No he shouldn't because the chance of a principled win this year are very low, and he needs to stick with HIS party. I'm so pissed at the "throw out the vote the GOP don't like" fiasco this summer, and change the rules so it's always OKAY to throw it out from now on, that I will never consider myself a republican again! But if this country is around in 2016, we'll need Dr. Ron Paul to be our Republican president then! - Of course there is a chance the Republican party will crash dive now.

You have another choice. Gary Johnson and Jim Grey. Incidentally Rosanne Bar is running too, not that I would consider her choice. But if you want to vote for Ron Paul you could always right him in.

OK, I don't really know if he SHOULD - he's the only judge of that... But I would LOVE it if he did. That would probably stir up some buzz even with our monolithic corpro-state-controlled pravda media. The Repubs would poop themselves. WoUld be a beautiful mess.

I'm sick of having the illusion of chose, Paul has a wider spread following then Johnson, all tho Johnson followers are fewer in numbers there loyalty is unwavering. Between the 2 we might finally have a third party in the white house.

Paul should endorse Johnson. Go out and stump for him. But it's to late to join the ticket. Maybe a advisory roll if Johnson should happen to win. But as Vice President no.

At this point all he will really do is siphon votes from Romney. It be dumb move and really kill Romney of his chances for election. The main concern is getting Obama out of office though I would've have liked to see Ron as the Republican candidate.

v Yes, he should

He will never be promoted by the mainstream Republican party. If Mitt Romney's campaign material is anything like Ron Paul's it is only because his most popular ideas have been cut and pasted into the Romney play book in order to tap off his supporters. I don't trust Romney as far as I can throw an elephant. As things stand, no 3rd party gets any air time at all unless it fields a well-known candidate and the R's and D's are only controversial when they stumble over their own tongues. I doubt that Ron Paul or any 3rd party candidate will win the Presidential race, but maybe the other two will have to interrupt their regularly scheduled programming in order to deal with...

Not no, but hell no. If Gary Johnson had half the sense God gave a goat he wouldn't be on the ticket this time either. It's to important to get Obama out to be drawing votes off. I'm all for them jumping in for the 2016 election and if they worked at it together between now and then, they could be real contenders next time.

They should join forces to run for what they believe in. More people should run on what they believe in, rather than what they are paid to believe. Agree with them or not, it's good to see people run on principal.

The vote is already split whether Paul goes third party or not. The RNC saw to that when they shunned Paul at the convention and would not allow him in the building let alone address the convention. Ron Paul's supporters are not of the wishy washy "vote for the winner at all costs" mentality. They are principled people and I'll wager the majority of them - especially the ones who have now supported him for two elections - will not vote for Romney. The faith they placed in the RNC to allow a legitimate candidate - Ron Paul - who won enough states outright to get on the ballot, was a misplaced trust and it was shattered by the RNC. The vote is split and Obama will likel...

What can it hurt? I mean I am no fan of the Cult of Paul, but it would give the libertarian ticket at least some degree of credibility and note that Gary Johnson cannot bring. However, Why would he do it? He campaigned for the Republican nomination this time specifically because he knew fighting for the libertarian ticket would be mostly wasted effort. But I am all for ANYTHING as an alternative to the absolute delusional psychopath Romney is. I dare say Romney might well be what finally pushes us into apocalypse. It astounds me how vapid and downright stupid people supporting the conservatives are. Seriously, 47%, People dont die from not having medical insurance, "...

@Aquarius-WY I wouldnt point to the race issue if there were SOME sort of logical reason for ANYONE to support Romney. His entire campaign is nothing but a bunch of gaffes, endless vagueries, and "Im NOT Obama" He thinks half the country is irrelevant. The only thing he said he is definitely going to cut in his march to fiscal responsibility is Subsidy to PBS, He thinks people dont die from not having medical insurance. His "plan" to those people is to just go to the ER, they cant turn you away even if you dont pay them. His background is from running a company that operated as legalized loansharking on a premise of slash and burn while exporting jobs overseas. And ...
