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.

LOL! Believe it or not, just by that first comment you made, it made me want to see that movie again. I haven’t seen it in a while. I got it on DVD. I’m up to the part where Gary vists all the war memorials to decide if he wants to help fight terror by acting while that song plays “Whut would yow dow... If yow were axed to give up yo dreeams fow freeydom?” This movie cracks me up, they got him by the Lincoln Memorial and he’s 2 feet tall LOL! This movie is freakin’ genius. I read Trey Parker said never again, it was hell making it because of all the time they had to put into making the sets and puppets. They were doing 22 hour days for months. First time I saw it in the theater I was laughing so hard I couldn’t see, I was crying.

It's unfortunate, Leo, but some just don't speak the language of logic or even common sense.

Please explain how calling child-killing child-killing is illogical or contrary to common sense.

So, you admit your zealotry?

Good.

It's the first step to curing yourself form the addiction to zealotry you are currently in.

God bless you.

Gary left the governorship of New Mexico $1 BILLION in surplus. He was call 'Governor NO' because he vetoed almost every Democrat run spending bill to cross his desk, over 750 vetos.

Gary is a rags to riches story, knows what hard work is, how to get people in jobs and how to make a profit.

If you all want to go with the run-of-the-mill elitist, lady-in-waiting, lesser-of-two-evils, candidate-of-the-month, go with the GOP.

It's time for something different, because what we've had before, and the choices we have now, aren't going to work.

“I figured I have this response from a few FReepers.”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well. I see you got what you asked for.

And did you also figure that not one FReeper would agree with you?

Why? Because your posts come accross as idiotic ramblings of an irate retard with a side order of pro-abortion lunacy.

So, according to you, if one won’t vote for a pro-child-killing candidate, they’re a “zealot.”

But you have no problem, apparently, with giving your sacred franchise to the service of those who think it is fine to butcher babies.

Sounds pretty extreme to me, to sacrifice something so valuable on the altar of political expediency.

He’s down with killing unborn babies.

I won’t vote for a baby-killer. Non-negotiable.

Is Leo (Not) keeping a list of extremists?

I checked his FReep page. I didn’t see any such list there.

Hey Leo - would you do me a favor and add me to your list of list of extremists?

Call it your enemies list. And add me on top.

Thanks!

See post #76, aHole.

You are a zealot.

The difference between you and me is simple.

We both are an the same side of this argument - THE SAME FREAKING SIDE!

The difference? I wrote the abhorrent statement:

“Please, for the sake of conservatives, call it abortion.

He's pro abortion.

Killing children means he goes to playgrounds and shoots or slices living, breathing skulls full of mush.

Do you see the difference?”

And now you FReaking FReaks can't allow ANYONE to disagree with your diction.

Get a grip, let's work together and we can win this battle.

Otherwise go to Hell.
