Gary Johnson Gearing up for 2012?

The pro-drug legalization, pro-immigration, small government budget hawk and former governor of New Mexico looks to be preparing for a run.

Gary Johnson is preparing to launch his Our America PAC shortly, as soon as he gets all of his legal ducks in a row. He will be hitting the trail hard soon, traveling the country to speak in support of issues and candidates, re-immersing himself in the public policy debate.

This December, Governor Johnson will also be releasing a book entitled “Seven Principles Of Good Government,” published by The Heartland Institute (a conservative-libertarian think tank).

It's hard to see Johnson getting the GOP nomination. But he'd certainly make the primaries interesting.

Gary Johnson is pro-abortion and pro-open borders.

That’s not the New-Age-Feel-Good, Enviro-Nazi Governor Johnson that I remember....

Beware of wolves in sheeples’ clothing....

You mean, Gary Johnston who graduated from Iowa University with a double major in theater and world languages? The top of every acting class since he was a child? Top Gun Actor?

That’s all politics really is — Acting!

The world will now be safe, thanks to a brilliant actor named Gary Johnston.

He’s not the new Ron Paul, that’s for sure. Ron Paul isn’t simply a Libertarian. You know that though.
