| Gary Johnson: the one candidate that most Americans agree with. |
One of the things that "everybody knows" is that Libertarian candidates are "too extreme" to ever be electable, or to govern if elected.
Let's see how that works out with 2012 Libertarian Presidential candidate Gary Johnson, the only successful two-term governor in the race.
77% of the American people support the legalization of medical marijuana.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney don't want patients to have that option.
75% of the American people think the defense budget should be cut.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both want to spend more.
74% of the American people want the Federal budget balanced.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney, not so much.
72% of the American people think we're spending too much money on foreign aid.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney want to keep spending.
66% of the American people now oppose the war in Afghanistan.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney both want to stay.
65% of the American people think we should be involved in far fewer military interventions overseas.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney are happy to send our troops out.
50% of the American people favor legalizing marijuana.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama and Mitt Romney want to continue the drug war.
50% of the American people favor marriage equality.
So does Gary Johnson. Barack Obama is a recent convert; Mitt Romney isn't.
So why do the polls show that Barack Obama is polling at about 47%, Mitt Romney at 42%, and Gary Johnson at only 6%?
. . . because 75-80% of the American people don't know who he is, or what he stands for.
That's the problem.
Comments
I will be glad to respond to any of those the moment you show me a single piece of evidence that Gary Johnson supports any of your straw men.
As governor of New Mexico Gary Johnson was actually noted for his land conservation measures.
Find me the slightest evidence that he has ever called for the elimination of minimum wage laws before you ask the rhetorical question.
Find me any information to support your allegation about health inspections. In fact, as governor, Gary Johnson worked closely with EPA to clean up superfund sites and pursue polluters.
The health care plan that President Obama gave you is already a shil to the insurance companies, so don't hand me that crap. There is no negotiating for lower drug prices with manufacturers, there are customer guarantees for private insurers, and the entire house of cards rests on a set of assumptions about long-term cost savings in managed geriatric care that the GAO debunked BEFORE the damn bill passed.
Gary Johnson, please check, has never advocated the elimination of social security.
Gary Johnson has advocated the elimination of the Federal Department of Education with the replacement of straight funding to the States. For about three reasons I disagree with him on that. I also know it will never happen, just like most of the things that Obama and Romney promised will never happen.
I am surprised at you, Dana, that you confuse the basic truth that the ability to ask partisan rhetorical questions is somehow equivalent to the presentation of evidence.
That's at roughly 28 or 29 minute mark in the video in the following post.
So there goes one of your straw men, Dana. You may disagree with part or all of his prescription, but it is certainly not "replacing social security" with "the vagaries of Wall Street"
Count me in!
Tks very much for post:
I like it and hope that you continue posting.
