Watched him on The Five ... this man is no different than Bernie Sanders ... totally off the wall. First (and last) time I’ve heard him speak.

I’m happy to see him in the race.

He is pro-abortion, pro-homosexual marriage, pro-open borders. He’s a warmist. A pothead.

I don’t think he is soaking up many Repub votes. He is soaking up Bernie votes. I’d like to see us get some Bernie votes but seriously, if some go to Johnson and some sit home and roll a joint, that’s fine.

This SOB and his faux-libertarian running mate need to be removed from the party and from being the nominee.

Hopefully the Bernie Sanders supporters will see that also and get behind his candidacy. If he can get enough support to get himself onto the debate stage, he'll take a lot more votes away from Hillary than he'll take from Trump.

Excuse me, but how is a ‘Free market carbon tax’ LIBERTARIAN? It sounds like Gary Johnson/William Weld is a LINO or did the LIBERTARIAN PARTY changed into the LIBERALTARIAN PARTY

Actual libertarians have to be aghast at how easily a little bit of money enabled the establishment to take over their party.

Conservatives hoping for an alternative to the Democrat and Republican parties are disappointed that pro-choice globalist liberal William Weld is the Libertarian Party nominee for vice president.

"Libertarian" Gary Johnson Pushes "Free Market" Carbon Tax

I question the judgment of any elected, appointed, or public employee who promotes something made out of thin air, and profiting from it.

If it is a public benefit and justified im spite of cancelling fundamental human rights, it should be allowed if, and only if, every citizen, except those listed above can "buy" into it.

In other word no one in the position to both profit, and exploit the opportunity by being in a position to determine laws and policies which affects the value of the "invented" commodity is prohibiting from participating directly or by proxy.

Common sense, universally ignored.

It's a simple choice. Political power over others or the slings and arrows of the private, overregulated "free market."

any vote for him isn't a vote for the Beast

Only if voter ID is in force and you rule out multiple voters, or unexamined electronic shenanigans.
