Gary Johnson

Munster30 · August 02, 2012, 10:11

I heard him being interviewed on the radio yesterday. He only had limited time but in the time he had he was able to lay out his platform.
I know he's pretty much got the same platform as Ron Paul, but Johnson impressed me with his answers and his reasoning and was able to summarize his stand on the issues very well.
I'm thinking that if he does make it into the presidential debates he could clean house on both BO and Mittens.

I too have started looking into Gary Johnson.

If Willard doesn't drop dead or withdraw before the nomination Ron Paul is way more likely to endorse Gary Johnson than he is Willard.

I think I'm pretty much set on Gary at this point. Ron Paul still has my heart, but Johnson has a lot of miles left in the engine.

shlomo · August 02, 2012, 11:31

He'll have to prove he's trustworthy first, but at least he isn't another puppet of the NWO.

Is that the white Eric Holder?

With me it's always been the message not the messenger.
As shlomo points out, Ron Paul is a known quantity with a proven history of sticking to his guns vs Gary Johnson's two terms as a Governor. I'll wait till after the Republican convention before I make a decision. If Ron Paul endorses Johnson he'll have my vote. If he endorses Romney I will projectile vomit for the three following months. Maybe more.

Now that I think of it, though, it's good turnabout for my lack of familiarity with The Dead.

I imagine that most of the people who will vote to re-elect the Precedent have the same rationale.

I may or may not be referencing another thread in which schlomo implicated his uncanny resemblance to the greatest A.G. in the history of these United States. The puppet from the Team America movie is lacking the flavor saver.

If the flesh and blood version is half the orator of his namesake, he's got it in the bag.

Diff'rent Strokes I guess...

Alright, I'll read something intellectual and listen to classical tonight as penance...actually, I'm partial to Baroque.

No need to imagine. I've talked to a few Obama "supporters", and they don't like him. They'd prefer someone who would end the TSA gropings, undeclared wars, assassination of US citizens, indefinite detention, the PATRIOT Act, big bank and EU bailouts, etc., but they still vote for Obama because they think any Republican would be worse. It's madness.

The country will well and truly have to "Pass through the eye of a needle" in order make such a selection as he.

Feedom ain't free - you got to pitch-in yer "buck-oh-nine" of a vote to make it happen . . .

Might take a Michael Moore moment to get us off-the dime to make a decision.

Whatever . . .

I'm gonna read a sci-fi novel and listen to Bluegrass just to keep the universe in balance. I'm partial to banjo.

shlomo · August 03, 2012, 07:00

I had other stuff to do last night, but tonight I may just cue up Team America and try not to shoot bourbon outta my nose.

(That's a hint for you, Jimmy.)

The only good I see with Romney is his business acumen and getting the economy back on it's feet. And that's it. But then, even that would be a short term fix, kicking the can down the road some more.

I find a new absurdity somewhere every time I watch it.

Then again, in one case, destruction is assured and with Romney the can gets kicked down the road and the destruction is slowed down some.
Our house is on fire and maybe it'll have to burn down before it's able to get rebuilt.

**308bolt** · August 03, 2012, 16:28

That Willard made money for himself is no reason to believe he can or will do anything for the economy.

We must recognize that we are living in an imperfect world in which human and superhuman forces of evil are at work and so long as those forces affect the political behaviour of mankind there can be no hope of abiding peace.
