That you are this emphatic about Gary Johnson tells me there is something I am missing, admittedly i havent read up on him much, and most of what i saw from him was during the debates... please point me to some good material i can read about him.
Quote from Maverick74:
OK. Let me address this. Yes, Gary Johnson is somewhat Meek. In this American Idol era of ours were looks and bravado usually win out over meekness, Gary certainly has his hands full. However, the reason Gary is not "catching on" as you put it, is because these deranged lunatics (Ron Paul followers) have gone to war with Gary. You see, if you are not wearing a tin foil hat, or a 9/11 truther, or a believer in the Bilderberg Group, those Paul fanatics will destroy you. And they basically blackballed Johnson. That is why he never caught on. BTW, Ron Paul also went to war with that Barr guy who was the libertarian candidate in 2008. And his followers blackballed him as well.
The fact is, Gary Johnson was a 2 term governor of a state. Ron Paul in 24 years in congress passed one single piece of legislation which was the naming of some statue in his hometown. In my opinion there is no comparing the two. Ron Paul can't light a candle to Johnson. But his fanatical following will never support him.
Let me ask you something. If you like Ron Paul's ideas but don't like the conspiracy theory fruitcakes that follow him, come over to Gary Johnson. He is Ron Paul minus the tin foil hat.
BTW, during Johnson's two terms as governor, he vetoed more bills then the other 49 governors......combined! He also climbed Mt. Everest.
