Gary Johnson: I support Obama’s executive amnesty because it “challenged Congress to action”

I knew he supported open borders, which is Libertarianism 101 (except, oddly, within the Paul family), but I could shrug that off by reminding myself that this guy won’t get within 30 points of winning a state. He’s a protest vessel, nothing more or less. If you want to cast a vote this fall for smaller government and against authoritarianism, of which there’ll be two different flavors on the ballot in the form of the two major-party nominees, why not Johnson?

I don’t think Trump has anything to worry about from this guy.

[P-Marlowe]

I’ve never seen this guy. Is he as ugly as he is stupid?

[WilliamCooper1]

This is the guy who is getting 11% in many polls? This has to be a joke.

[Buckeye Battle Cry]

This is excellent. Puts him opposite of Trump on a key issue while simultaneously putting him lock-step with Hillary.

This gives the Bernie crowd a candidate to rally to while making it harder for the Never Trump crowd to like the guy.

[TigersEye]

Ah, I see. So lawlessness has its place and purpose in a constitutional republic!?

More like a banana republic.

FU, Gary Johnson!

[VTenigma]

I looked up a$$hat on wiki and a picture of Johnson appeared.

With this statement Johnson mostly gets Red Bernie voters and liberal Republicans. A was a best for Hillihag but more than likely she bleeds support to this open borders goober as I can’t see any Trump voters switching to this dork.

Rand Paul's immigration speech

...The Republican Party must embrace more legal immigration.

Unfortunately, like many of the major debates in Washington, immigration has become a stalemate-where both sides are imprisoned by their own rhetoric or attachment to sacred cows that prevent the possibility of a balanced solution.

Immigration Reform will not occur until Conservative Republicans, like myself, become part of the solution. I am here today to begin that conversation.

Let's start that conversation by acknowledging we aren't going to deport 12 million illegal immigrants.

If you wish to work, if you wish to live and work in America, then we will find a place for you...

This is where prudence, compassion and thrift all point us toward the same goal: bringing these workers out of the shadows and into being taxpaying members of society.

Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers.12 million more people assimilating into society. 12 million more people being productive contributors.

Rand Paul calls on conservatives to embrace immigration reform

Latinos, should be a natural constituency for the party, Paul argued, but "Republicans have pushed them away with harsh rhetoric over immigration." ...he would create a bipartisan panel to determine how many visas should be granted for workers already in the United States and those who might follow... [and the buried lead] "Imagine 12 million people who are already here coming out of the shadows to become new taxpayers...

[but he's not in favor of amnesty, snicker, definition of is is]

[SunkenCiv]

Whoops, I missed that Gary Puckett topic, and the Dwayne Johnson, sorry. Of those two, I’d rather listen to Dwayne sing, and see Gary Puckett run for office.

The Libertarian for Socialism (importing socialists) now supports executive tyranny. He also supports forcing people to participate in homosexual marriages. Gary Johnson is not a libertarian. He is a cultural marxist who smokes dope and wants low taxes.
