Gary Johnson is lying hypocritical scum. Everything he claims he supports and all his so-called issues are 100% opposite his past. In his runs for governor and as governor he was an extreme law and order governor. Extremely harsh laws and sentencing on drug crimes and as his #1 campaign issue. He was DEEPLY involved not only in anti-immigrants stances, but with the most radical militia groups such as The Minute Men, an armed militia guarding the border. He also pushed requiring English-only agendas. His financial backer in his so-called transformation is the Koch brothers. In return, Gov. Johnson blew a giant hole in New Mexicos budget by handing the project over to a Koch Industries asphalt subsidiary, earning the billionaire brothers tens of millions of dollars, while nearly bankrupting New Mexicos budget and depriving the state of funds for roads in rural areas. He was very anti-gay rights and equality - a far rightwinger and even social rightwinger as governnor. Gary Johnson actually is a warhawk neocon. To sell himself as a "libertarian" with his time as governor running out and no chance at the Republican presidential nomination, suddenly Johnson completely reversed his claim and announced he was for legalizing marijuana and reducing or eliminating drug laws. Oh how libertarian! Did he pardon any of the thousands upon thousands in prison under his HARSH drug laws HE got passed? NO. Total hypocrite and complete fraud. Johnsons team has done a good job of hiding his right wing stances, but theyre not hard to spot when you actually read his platform. For example, Johnsons "Our America Initiative" website describes his views on defense in a section titled "Defense and the Middle East War" and here Johnson's views sound like every other Republocrats neocon hack, calling for preemptive foreign military action against suspected terrorists, and favoring the use of Americas military to protect Israel - and the other neocon justifications for military world police interventions. https://www.nsfwcorp.com/dispatch/gary-johnson-swindle/
Could not read the whole article because it said the LP was founded by the Koch brothers (who I believe are actually supporting Hillary Clinton in this election). The LP was founded by: David Nolan Roy Childs Edward Crane Jim Dean John Hospers Manuel Klausner Theodora Nathan Murray Rothbard
The Democratic party is the party of hate. Nice try at your primary purpose on the forum being apparently to derail as many threads as possible.
Interesting. I haven't followed Johnson much, only when he shows up on RedEye or similar appearances. Apparently, many of Sanders' supporters are abandoning the democrat party for Jill Stein and Gary Johnson. The democrats are cooked this election, for sure. You can even see it in the panic of people in this forum. LOL Thanks, Steve
Lmao. Hillary is a LOCK to be POTUS. 85+% of Bernie's voters will vote Clinton. Johnson and Stein will be lucky to poll a combined 5%. But, hang in there parroting the RWNJ delusions. There is nothing wrong with trying.
Hillary doesn't have this election locked. She has a good chance, but she's head to head with Donald Trump right now. Who deploys some of the most dishonest and nazi-esque campaign techniques I've seen in modern electoral history. And it's working. I think you're deluding yourself if you think 85%+ of Bernie supporters are going to Hillary. That's a pipedream. These are voters that don't feel bound by the Democratic Party, but rather bound to their own personal values. And they really really don't like Hillary Clinton. That number is actually more like 54% (and falling), the rest of those votes are going to Gary Johnson (23%) and Jill Stein (12%). While neither really has a clear path to winning at this moment in time...legitimate, scientific polls right now are showing them pull historic numbers in the fall. http://i2.cdn.turner.com/cnn/2016/images/07/17/rel8a.-.2016.pdf
