Former New Mexico Governor Gary Johnson announced today that he's running for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination.

"I'm ready for a different America," Johnson said in a statement today. "I'm ready for the day when a person can build a good life on a decent income, and we can take our government at its word."

Johnson announced his candidacy Thursday morning on the steps of the New Hampshire State House and plans to spend three days in the early-nominating state meeting with supporters and visiting local businesses.

I'm not enjoying having to Google presidential candidates to find out who they are.

If the GOP runs more than a dozen candidates in the primaries, can they get some kind of bulk discount for printing and TV time?

Arte Johnson has as much of a chance of winning. Do these people run just to be able to say that they ran for POTUS, or is there a net profit at the end of the process for these guys?

It already is different and should NEVER take our government at its word.

Alcohol is a drug. Should it be banned?

Ron Paul thinks he’s great.

And he’s pro-child-killing.

I’d vote for the Professor. He could invent our way out of this mess.
