"The biggest difference between Gary Johnson and Ron Paul"

[HardyMacia]

For me, evertime I read about Gary Johnson I think about this article, at which point I no longer care to think or read about him. WIRP, WIRP, WIRP!

What's wrong with that article? It's factual and not dissing on Paul. Paul's plan takes 3 years before a balanced budget is submitted and Johnson is promising to do it in the first year. And, I wrote the article.

Gary Johnson's views on abortion are the only thing that might keep me from not voting for him. Sorry but I don't buy the "you're not an individual until you leave the birth canal" argument. That said GJ's views in general match mind better than Obama's and McCain's and I have no interest in a protest write in Ron Paul vote that won't even be counted.

From a legislative point of view Johnson and Paul are the same on abortion. When Johnson was governor and the NM Right to Life Committee endorsed him. He's opposed to late term abortions and signed the bill into law in NM, he's for parental notification, he's opposed to tax payer funded abortions, then thinks Roe v Wade was wrongly decided and should be overturned, abortions should be left up to the states, and he appointed judges like Judge Napolitano and Judge Gray to the Supreme Court.

The difference is at a state level he'd vote side with a women's right to choose up until viability of the fetus, but this doesn't' factor into the equation for a President. This pretty much matches my stance -- there have been many pro-life libertarians I've supported over the years even though I disagreed with them on this issue because by the time we get to splitting the last hairs of the issue we'll have the rest of the country fixed.

1. Because, he has a plan, but he is unable to reveal what that plan is.
2. For he cannot reveal his plan, because it is an impossible achievement.
3. Ron Paul's plan is much more realistic and palatable.
4. Annually, the federal government is overspending its budget into the several trillions, there is simply no way at all to just come into office and balance that budget (the annual interest being racked up alone is around $1-trillion).

I find GJ far more tolerable than i do his supporters.

Many people outside the bubble say the same of Ron Paul.

So. You're saying that Ron Paul is more PRAGMATIC than Gary Johnson? Because most people are arguing precisely the opposite.

The interest on the debt, last I checked, was around $300B, probably close to $400B or so now, but not $1T.

That's an interesting theory. Do tell me how that will happen.
