Gary Johnson will be on Hannity tonight, 5/7/2010

Tripled the deficit.

Oh wait, you're looking for good things Reagan did? I have none.

Didn't Reagan repeal the "Fairness" Doctrine?

Hannity got what he wanted here.
He had GJ conceding the premises here and playing right into Hannity's traps.

GJ admitted that he "only" wants to legalize MJ. Didn't mention the war on drugs.
GJ admitted that he didn't disagree with the premise of the war, just that it's costing us too much. We will never win these arguments until we go right to the morality of these issues.

For example, he could have talked about how locking up someone in a cage for holding a plant goes against any code of morality, and stealing money from people to pay for the killing of other people in a far away land is not something he would ever support.

GJ will go nowhere in the libertarian movement because he is already conceding lots of premises. Hell, he wouldn't even completely defend Ron Paul and insinuated that he disagreed that the bombing of the middle east in the 90's was a major cause of 9/11!

Not sure why people continuously forget about Reagan's amnesty bill. Anyway:

JohnEngland: It was a bit more complicated than the neo-cons claiming he just repealed it, but the FCC along with the Court of Appeals (led by Scalia and Robert Bork) struck parts of it down and Reagan vetoed a bill that would have reinstated it.

Hey man, he was on hannity's show, and he will be seeking the republican nomination. With Gary Johnson, actions speak louder than words. He actually has a pro-liberty record that is available for all to examine.

Screw the "movement." Make up your own mind.

Not really. The facts show that he is no where near as pro-liberty as Ron Paul. That's fine, he's a politician after all, but I'm just saying I wouldn't expect him to get very far in the liberty movement.

Ron Paul is nowhere near as pro-liberty as "Ron Paul."

I sense some political answers coming from Gary Johnson. If asked in private, I'm thinking he would support legalizing all drugs and ending the Income Tax, he just knows that saying such things won't get you many votes. He isn't nearly as confrontational as Ron is, for instance, I can't see Gary Johnson casting a 1-434 vote in the House.

I can't see Gary Johnson casting a 1-434 vote in the House.

I can't either because I can't see Gary even being in the house. He seems to like the Governor/executive type, not a legislator.
