Libertarian Party’s Gary Johnson thinks there’s a good case for banning cigarettes

Gary Johnson is the farthest thing from Liberalism than a Catholic is to Mormonism...

He’s the biggest phony ever, hand picked by Willard “RAT” Romney to knock Trump out...his record, if you vet him, will tell you he’s the last person you should vote for, outside of Hillary...

Legalize marihuana and prohibit tobacco. How about prostitution, gambling, processed sugar, fatty foods, unsafe sex? Where do you draw the line between personal behaviors in which you are allowed to be free, and personal behaviors subject to prohibition?

There went my vote for him, up in smoke /sarc

[rockrr]

Does this doofus even understand what the libertarian party is all about?

[BenLurkin]

Not nearly as good as Grey Tortoise brand.

[Wneighbor]

good news is that this numb-nutz, in a general election, would draw votes for Hillary and not

So true. First time in my life the 3rd party is actually working the right way for my vote.

[FredZarguna]

What party does Bloomie represent?

The Party of Not Getting Elected to Anything Ever.

(So... pretty much the same party as the LP.)

[Vendome]

If you were a Libertarian, you would say “Off yourself anyway you choose”.

What’s next? sugar?

[PLMerite]

“What is a Leppo?”

Too bad he didn’t mis-hear it and think the guy said “a lesbo.” Could have made for a real funny answer.

[FredZarguna]

Makes me wonder if Gary Johnson has ever even seen a libertarian.

[Pollster1]

I don’t expect anyone, not even a libertarian to be pure, but Gary Johnson is the opposite of a libertarian - a big government liberal.

[eaglestar]

The smoking section?

[WMarshal]

Johnson isn’t very libertarian. Since when did “libertarian” mean “nanny-state socialist?”

[catnipman]

“Libertarian Party’s Gary Johnson thinks there’s a good case for banning ...”

Hmmmm. That doesn’t sound very libertarian to me ...

[dowcaet]

Does Gary Johnson and Bill Weld intend to name their new party the RINOtarians?Nothing Libertarian about these two. True Libertarians are thinking WTF with these two Mitt Romney/Jeb Bush wannnabes heading their presidential ticket. The Libertarians proved they can be bought too. No doubt they were given a pot full of money and promised plenty of media exposure by the globalists to give these two Republican RINOs the spots on their party’s presidential ticket. Again, there is not one political party in this country that can’t be bought. If the Libertarians were so above the political fray no way in hell they let two globalist RINOs like Bong Johnson and Wimpy Weld into their party.

But marijuana smoke is GOOD for the lungs. That must be it.

[Bubba_Leroy]

"Libertarian"

[MaxFlint]

recounting his support for anti-smoking efforts in New Mexico.

Worst libertarian ever.

[Gaffer]

A libertarian for sure, huh?

[Trump20162020]

It was reported just a few months ago that Gary Johnson only recently gave up smoking marijuana, for his presidential run.

What kind of "health nut" smokes anything?
