Gary Johnson Let's get behind Gary Johnson IF...

[JohnAshman]

"Johnson would be in SO far over his head as president that it isn't even funny."

How so? Too much experience or what?

 

[JohnAshman]

"write in Ron Paul"

To what point?

 

[dean.engelhardt]

Even people who do not like Gary Johnson should support him just to get the values of liberty into the debates.

Smartest thing I read on this site today. Johnson has to be in the debates.

 

[Zap!]

Not a chance. He supports abortion.

 

[Pisces]

He has A LOT more appeal to progressives as well.

I wonder if Johnson in the race might actually throw it to Willard and not Obama. Not that there's much difference between the two.

Thats a poor reason not to support someone. Abortion is one of the most pointless issues there are. Why would you make this issue a deal breaker? I disagree with Ron Paul on abortion, but I still support him, because abortion is a stupid, pointless issue.

STFU about gary johnson already. He is a democrat pretending to be a libertarian in the GOP

 

[Feeding the Abscess]

If he takes Economics In One Lesson and For A New Liberty to heart and applies it to his political outlook, I'd gladly support Gary.

He's a joke.


No thanks.

One doesn't have to be that "smart" to follow the Constitution.

If Ron Paul doesn't run third party, we might as well get behind Gary Johnson. He's only 7 points away from getting into the debates...

Top story on reddit today.
Even the socalists and progressives are willing to get behind him. No one mistakenly thinks he's racist or crazy. This could be huge for us...

60 million aborted babies disagree. I don't support anyone for President who supports abortion, gay rights, or gun control period. No exceptions to those issues, they are very important to me. I am actually a paleo-con who supported Ron Paul.

Those are some of the least important issues. Granted its a positive if a candidate agrees with you on those issues, but you shouldn't be eliminating candidates based on that. There are far more important issues. If Obama or Romney agreed with you on all those issues, would you vote for them?

I'm interested in knowing how being anti-gay rights can possibly fit inside a libertarian viewpoint.

I wasn't aware that Ron Paul was against gay rights.

Well, at least you have good reasons and that is great. I think it's funny when atheist pro-choice gay marriage people think Ron Paul is awesome and Gary Johnson sucks.

Romney probably does agree with me on those three issues (or so he says). But he's terrible on globalization, the Patriot Act, and drones so I can't vote for him either. Constitution Party is my best hope.

Who says I'm a libertarian? I'm a paleo-con. My first choice political idol is Pat Buchanan. However, he's not running so I supported Ron Paul in 2008 and 2012.

I'm not either... it's Zap that's under question here. Or, was:

Ah, I see.

Apologies.

No apology necessary. I am a big fan of Ron Paul as well, I agree with the vast majority of what he stands for.

The point I was making is that there are far more important issues than abortion, anti gay rights, and gun control. Romney agrees with you on all those issues, but you still wouldn't vote for him because there are far more important issues that he sucks on.
