Nuke Skywalker User ID: 11684630 United States 07/07/2012 08:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | At the risk of being permanently banned, which is not hard to do here, I will say that there are several better alternatives than The Man Who Calls Himself Obama, and Mitt Romney. Gary Johnson is an excellent candidate. Two-term (term-limited-out) governor of New Mexico. Social liberal, fiscal conservative. He's walked the talk. Check it out. Google his website. (Disclaimer: I have an interest in this, being a state chairman for America's third-largest party.) |

He was a two term governor here prior to Richardson and cut government, REDUCED TAXES, streamlined everything, and left the state in a far better place than it ever was. Unfortunately, his successor screwed things up a bit, but Gary Johnson was the best. He believes in freedom and encouraged us to dump the drug laws - not because he liked drugs, but because we couldn't afford the loss of rights and other costs of having these stupid laws. He stands for the same as a candidate for President. I like Ron Paul, but unless he runs as an independent, he'll be run over by the publitards. They're both good, but I'd prefer Gary Johnson. BTW, Gary was and is an entrepreneur and businessman, and has been responsible for serious employment in NM. |

Major_Payne User ID: 19306792 United States 07/07/2012 08:58 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I hate to say it but Buddy Roemer was probably the Republicans best bet and you blew it pushing another Neo Con Mitt Rmoney. Ron Paul no matter how much you like him is unelectable (Thanks Fox news). Buddy Roemer: America is a nation at risk. Job prospects are inadequate. Trade is neither smart nor fair. The tax code is unreadable and, I say, un-American. The budget is unsustainable. Small business must be re-vitalized. Energy has no strategy. Healthcare is not healthy. Banks are still too big to fail, and comprehensive immigration reform is a fantasy. We can turn all these problems into opportunities, but we must begin our battle with the special interests who are content with the status quo. They don’t want change. They spend billions to keep their control. They own our political system. They bought it with their fundraisers for incumbents, and with jobs for the already powerful. They bought it with special favors and inside information for those who can return the gesture in amendments and legislation and earmarks. They finance the elections. They hire the politicians upon their retirement. And they own the two major political parties. It’s un-democratic and it’s simply un-American. Look at the facts. 98% of the electorate does not give a penny to presidential or congressional campaigns. The money comes from Wall Street banks, corporate PACs, the labor union coffers, insurance and pharmaceutical companies, Big Oil, military defense contractors, miscellaneous PACs, Super PACs and the lobbyists. The money comes from all of these special interests, and what do they get in return? “Too big to fail” and the death of Glass-Steagall, insurance monopolies, pharmaceutical profit protection, no-bid contracts, $675 hammers for the military, earmarks, $5.1 billion in profits and pay no federal income taxes, subsidies for the wealthiest corporations, and all of the big givers first in line for any perks or favors.

The ageists can't say he's too old or likely to keel over in office, he's 59, climbed Everest and did the Iron Man triatholon. He's a healthy example for the couch potatoes. He let NM with a huge surplus even after cutting the budget and taxes and improving how educational dollars were spent. He also showed unusual grace under fire with his handling of the Cerro Grande fire. I'm not from NM, but I've researched him extensively as an option for November since I really doubt Paul's going to pull the nom-nom-nom out of his ass. There's a few things I'm not 100% on with Johnson, but I don't get he's evil... I'm not voting for evil, lesser or otherwise. I can deal with not agreeing 100% if I can understand someone's position logically and without feeling like it's BS. |

Thanks for the info! What don't you get about Johnson? The privatizing of prisons, but it's balanced by the fact he wants to end the "Drug War" which would mean more actual criminals would go into those private prisons. So I balanced it out, lol. Buddy Roemer's also awesome, but he lacks charisma, IMO. Between Johnson and Roemer, I feel Johnson can "play the game" better. Roemer's one of those too good for this world people and I fear another Carter... because Carter was a good, nice man who should never, ever have been our president. All heart, no balls, lol. |
