Can anyone tell me how Gary Johnson did in the debate? |
|
I see him as a dark horse. He was Governor when I lived in New Mexico and WILDLY popular.
He's kinda a Ron Paul w/ triathelete status.

Nothing interesting really.
Though he made a joke at the end that the audience found rather funny. Of course it was false.
"My neighbor has two dogs and they have created more shovel ready projects than Obama has. "

3. Thanks, I didn't even know he had been invited. |
|
My Dad told me an hour ago.
He is telegenic, and sounds like Ron Paul - as in 'The first 10 minutes made perfect sense but then he got all bat shit crazy".

4. He is a better looking Ron Paul. |
|
AND was a 2 term Governor that was wildly popular.
He wants to legalize ALL drugs and make the Government a thing of the past.

5. We must've lived in NM when you did! And yeah... |

... Gary seems reasonable in small doses, but reveals himself as quite the libertarian the longer he talks.
Last time I saw him on a panel somewhere, the only thing I agreed with him on was the drug legalization issue (e.g. save all that war-on-drug money, pull the rug out of the illegal drug market, regulate the stuff like it's alcohol, etc.).

6. Yup. I grew up there and go back 6-7 times a year |
|
He seems QUITE sane until he starts spouting the Ron Paul shit.
I have a home in Jemez Springs that keeps me traveling back and forth.
