Gary Johnson announces presidential run
CBS News ^ | 4/21/2011 | Stephanie Condon

Posted on 04/21/2011 11:30:46 AM PDT by logician2u

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.

AbeLincoln:

I'll hae to disagree with you. In my thinking -- what I want is someone who fight for lower TAXES, Tough on the BORDER, who wants to drill for oil here in the USA and who will let us be free.

I don't care if his social issues are (I'm pro-life myself), because in 2012 -- 0 will be running for re-election to ruin the USA!! I'm not going to let him WIN!!

Thank you for the logic and reason, some people get on one issue and it’s their ONLY issue.

I'm all grown up, thank you, and the older I get, the more valuable LIFE becomes to me.

(And you didn't write post #58, so seeing it won't help your cause. Of course, seeing the posts you have actually written doesn't help your cause either.)

Let's call Leo Farnsworth misinformed because he cautioned conservative zealots against referring to abortion as: KILLING CHILDREN.

What the hell do you think we should call it?

To those of you who would not vote for a presidential candidate running against Obama if he was pro choice: WEAR THE CONSERVATIVE ZEALOT badge happily.

There is NO SUCH THING as "pro-choice," you either think it's okay to take innocent life or you don't. A person is pro-life or pro-death -- THERE IS NO MIDDLE GROUND.

If America suffers because of your vote (rather, lack thereof) - take great pride in knowing you helped a Marxist win a second term

More than 3500 innocent Americans will be murdered in abortuaries TODAY; until America starts caring about THEIR SUFFERING, we deserve whatever we get.

Nobody is talking about LIVE children. Seriously.

We’re talking about taking a pill within a week or two after the rape.

Human life begins when the sperm meets the egg, and the first cell divides. There is no longer any scientific doubt about this whatsoever. A new individual, with unique DNA, exists. That person is alive. Every person you have ever seen was once at this stage of development.

You're tragically, fatally mistaken.

You sound like Whoopi Goldberg saying that sodomizing a 13 year old isn't "rape, rape."

At what point is the human embryo endowed with an eternal soul created in God's image?

The idea that a baby who is the product of rape should be killed because “degenerates beget degenerates” is the absolute worst and most vile excuse I’ve ever heard. I don’t recall ever hearing about Gary Johnson before. He’s unspeakable.

That post shows an amazing inability to perceive what’s going on here with the angry Mr Farnsworth relative to the group of discerning pro-life freepers.

I’ve been posting a lot about The Leo Farnsworth’s Extremist List.

I’d be glad to add you to that list. But you will soon be zotted within the next 15 minutes.

Not only for your anti-FR views on abortion. But for the sneaky way you have tried to diffuse your comments from supporting a full on abortion for those degenerate babies to trying to make yourself mean the simple taking of the RU-486 abortion pill.

Buh-bye.

Without the God-given, unalienable right to life, and equal protection for all, what else matters?

Why would you direct someone who is anti-abortion to DU? Did I miss something here?

No I’m not. What about the rights of the woman involved? You can’t honestly tell me that you’d demand a loved one to carry her rapists seed to full term and raise that child. Rape is an act of war. It’s a sign of conquering someone. it’s completely different from the act of 2 people being in love and “Whoops, we’re pregnant!”

This is the favorite candidate of Reason magazine, and he’s the cool Republican for the gay crowd over at the Atlantic. That should tell you everything you need to know. In layman’s terms he’s a liberal. The 10 percent that Ron Paul gets, is about the same as the 10 percent every reefer candidate gets in every election in the last 30 years.

I think there’s a good chance of two zots happening in this one thread this afternoon.

But to be fair - I think Leo is just having a bad spastic colon day. It’s affected his brain.

Mr Invisible on the other hand.... zotworthy.

So any child conceived not by “two people in love” is a worthy to be aborted? Is that what you’re saying?

If a Marxist wins a second term, it won't be because we followed the example of St. John the Baptist as "voice[s] crying in the wilderness". It will be because America as a whole decided that sometimes it's OK to kill innocent human beings, or at least that opposing the killing of innocent human beings is negotiable if there are other, more important things to worry about, like money.

(There. I stayed away from the word "child", since you clearly don't think that a fetus is a child.)

When will people wake up to the fact that preserving the right to live in freedom begins with preserving the right to simply live?!

Thanks for the reason, Moleman.

It appears to fall on deaf ears here.

Sadly.

May you have a wonderful Easter holiday, Moleman.

It really is a wonderful holiday and we can all be thankful for our blessings.

Ah. If I won't vote for candidates who violate the most important core principles upon which our free republic and our claim to liberty are built, I'm the one helping ruin the USA. Sure. Right.

Sorry. You don't stop destruction caused by evil by further empowering evil.

You won't save America by sacrificing her most important principles on the altar of political expediency. All you will do is become complicit.
