draft Johnson

[itshappening]

someone seriously needs to setup a website or write to Gary Johnson and see if he's interested in being the next, next President of the United States

the GOP need some proper leadership and a new direction. Johnson would be a good candidate who can potentially scupper Obama's re-election, the hard work starts now!

we still have 2 years though

time is an advantage, if we had more of it during RP's run then he could have donee better

 

[ItsTime]

If Johnson going to run needs to start positioning himself now. So yes I think we should start a draft Johnson. Anyone that knows his background in and out that could set up a website?

 

[itshappening]

**IF** he does decide to run then he can put in the ground work or write a book, do tv interviews and stuff all next year.. start introducing himself to Iowa and New Hampshire voters!


We didnt have enough time with Dr. Paul, it all happened so quickly.

He'll need to start the process in about a year, by offering himself for TV interviews, radio interviews, and print media (especially in early primary states like Iowa and NH). Also, determining who his staff would be, possibly writing a book, setting up the details of his exploratory committee, and carving out a coherant election strategy. He needs to get started in about a year, and I hope he does. With help from Barry Goldwater Jr, Ron Paul, the Republican Liberty Caucus, The Lew Rockwell crowd, and us---he could have a serious headstart.

I pray he wants it i'm not sure who else there is...

he even looks the part

 

[Shotdown1027]

Johnson really is our ideal candidate for 2012 (unless Paul wants to run again),and he'd get more support from the mainstreamer libertarian types,while still appealing to the more "radical" segment. Jimmy Duncan Jr., Walter Jones, Roscoe Bartlett, all of these sitting incumbents could AFFORD to endorse our guy because he'd have mainstream cred.

I am going to start saving some cash now for all of the cool money bombs we will be having in 3 years!

 

[Pete]

So long as he keeps his ass out of Bilderberg meetings!

 

[Lucille]

Absolutely

BUMP
Start the Gary Johnson campaign NOW!
I need something to make me feel better once McBama is elected. Focusing our efforts on Gary Johnson would be very productive and could give him a nice head start.

We need Ventura, he's the only one that can break the media blockade without billions of dollars. This of course doesn't mean that I wouldn't campaign for Johnson if he shows himself to be a true liberty candidate.

I think Johnson has a lot more "mainstream" credibility

He has more credibility but is less mainstream I would say. If he pays anything more than lip service to real constitutionalist-libertarian values he will be blackballed by the media worse than even Ron Paul. Ventura loses a lot of credibility because he has a big mouth and has a shady background, but he makes for great media and would be irresistible to them. He would be in the news all day every day. Regardless, Johnson will get his shot in the GOP primary and Venture in the general election so I guess it won't matter too much. I can support both. Ventura has a great shot at winning third party though, because of his media status and also that he is liberal enough to get even more Democrat supporters than RP got.

 

[Jeremy]

Jesse Ventura doesn't know the difference between a libertarian and a communist.

Jesse Ventura doesn't know the difference between a libertarian and a communist.

Examples?
I don't know much about it. I looked at his wikipedia and showed he was "fiscially conservative" and social liberal.
Is he not fiscally conservative because that is a must?

Yes, surely the one thing that libertarians need in order to be taken more seriously is an ex-wrestler with a bald mullet.

I smell victory.

Jesse Smelled victory in Minnesota and Arnold smelled victory in California. Never underestimate the ability of the American people to disappoint pompous jackasses.

 

[Throwback280s]

Why not get him to run for NM Senator instead? That way he could be a one man fillibuster machine and stop future bailouts, wars, patriot acts, etc.
