I thought you meant this Gary Johnson.
We could use another "actor" in the White House.
Run, Gary run! I met him in 2000, thanked him for his stance & work on MJ legalization, along with everything he did for NM. We chatted for a while, and he went back to work. He was good for New Mexico. I would vote for him if he ran.
he says he’s potentially interested in a 2012 bid but obviously very early stages yet.
"(H)e is personally pro-choice"..."He's also libertarian on drugs"...
BYE!
So???
Palin/Johnson 2012? Or perhaps Johnson/Palin 2012? The perfect ticket, either way, IMHO
well who else is there? Romney is finished, Huckabee would never beat Obama and neither would Palin
on drugs Johnson supports States rights, an entirely constitutional and correct approach. on abortion he has been endorsed by right to life
Look at his record, he has a great record of actually shrinking government, cutting budgets etc. I.E WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE IN WASHINGTON and he can WIN. This is key, not his stance on a few issues. The US is going to be a mess by 2012 and someone with that record will be needed to clean it up. someone you know who can get the job done and has done so before, in a 2:1 Democrat state. He can beat Obama
PING to the NM list.
States rights libertarian/conservative.
We could do worse.
He was a good Governor.
“He is a Ron Paul fan” Oh well, that means his position on the war against Islamo Fascism is the same as Obama.
Pass. Next candidate please.
I think Johnson is a superior candidate to Palin. while she has many fans I think she’d just do what McCain did and couldn’t win in the places that matter.
Johnson can beat Obama in Democrat states and carry the independents.
“He’s also a libertarian on drugs”. Umm, you might want to rephrase that. I mean, I’ve known a lot of libertarians on drugs and I wouldn’t vote for any of them for President.
What’s the problem. This is our third president in a row who used cocaine.
well, the US is bankrupt and can’t afford war anyway so what’s the problem... ?
Johnson bringing troops home from Afghanistan and Iraq will save the US trillions from the rapidly rising deficit. it will also guarantee electoral victory and Obama out on his ass. imagine when you see Johnson pledging to bring troops home, how will The One and all his anti-war liberal whackos run against that?
They’re all on drugs if you ask me. At least they seem to be once they get to D.C.
Is that going to be his position? Bring the troops home?
Nixon promised to end Vietnam war. anti-war Republicans are not new and it wins elections and will make Obama like a dumbass.
No problem as long as you want to stay in your house and not go into a skyscraper, fly overseas, go to work, go to a theatre, go to a football game, go to a cafe or go to church.
i’m pretty sure he will want to do that, not for ideological reasons but probably more to save money and shrink the budgets.
