Gary Johnson--Libertarian for President-Proven Budget Cutter From New Mexico
The Financial Survival Network ^ | 07/24/2012 | Kerry Lutz

www.FinancialSurvivalNetwork.com presents

We met up with Gary Johnson, former governor of New Mexico and present Libertarian candidate for President. Gary was a former governor of New Mexico. During his two terms in office, of an overwhelmingly Democrat state, he vetoed 750 bills and exercised thousands of line item vetos. He was so effective that his opposition referred to him as Governor Veto. He ran for the Republican nomination this year, but he was kept out of the early debates by CNN and CNBC rules, which were created to keep out minor candidates. As a result, he never attained the status of serious candidate as far as the Main Stream Media was concerned. While his odds of winning the nomination are virtually non-existent, his message is compelling, and he has provided a road map for other fiscally sane candidates to shake things up.

Normally I would have had something planned out by now.

(NO LIBS. This Means Liberals and (L)libertarians! Same Thing. NO LIBS!!)

Good point. This means no Gary Johnson and no Mitt Romney. A vote for Romney is an endorsement of Commiecare.

And assault weapons bans, and Federally subsidized abortion mills, and more UN control over us, and...

Gary Johnson was my govenor in NM.

For a wacky large-L libertarian, he was OK in a lot of things.

Off the rails on a lot of others, however.

For the record, he is not pro-abortion on the federal level. He is pro-reversal of Roe v. Wade and returning the issue to the states. (Where he goes of the rail is that he thinks abortion is OK at the state level.)

Given I refuse to vote for the Romney joke, I may vote for this guy if the Constitution Party doesn’t get on the ballot in NM.

From a perusal of your tagline

Sarah Palin 12... No One Else

I gather that you intend to write in Palin in November.

Is that correct? And if so, how is that any different in impact on a Romney-Obama race than would be a vote for Johnson?

There are a few issues on which Gary Johnson and I strongly disagree.

There are also a few issues on which Virgil Goode and I strongly disagree.

Either of them are preferable to a Democratic candidate with whom I disagree on everything or a Republican candidate who has no definitive views upon which I can form a judgment.
