don't think sohahahaha Gary Johnson? He is just as bad as Rand Paul, all people like him for is his stance on Marijuana.
like christie, Gary Johnson was a republican governor of a blue state; only term limits keep him from still being its governor
and that had nothing to do with marijuana. it was about Johnson having the courage to do what he promised to do (vetoed 750 bills - 32%; more than all other 49 governors combined Track Record)
it is that rare trait which serves him well
ok. share with us what he has done which conflicts with his economic stancesI don't even think he really believes the economic stuff he talks about.
i look forward to seeing this portion of your reply
he has never been a major player. to many of us, who have little use or respect for the established parties. that he is free to be his own person is a good thingBesides Gary Johnson is no longer a major player.
being someone who appreciated many aspects of Ron Paul's politics, there is little to be appreciated from the sonThe Paulbots will move towards his son, just because of the Paul in his last name, none will remember that he basically betrayed them when endorsing Romney.
don't know how many of us there are, but i doubt his surname is going to be enough to overcome all of the objections many have to rand paul's personal ideology
wish you were joking. it was Ron Paul adherents who began the tea party, when Ron Paul was uninvited to the GOP's nomination processEven though, Rand Paul is a lot more Tea Party like than his father.
only when the republican party/mccain crashed and burned in 2008, following the disaster of dicknbush, did the former GOP reich wingers co-opt the 'tea party' to avoid the embarrassment of being known as 'republicans'
what is really sad is having no idea about what one posts ... as we will soon again observe in your responsePutting Christie on the same level with Gary Johnson is just sad!
christie does have better name recognition. that is his lone advantage when comparing him to Gary Johnson. but his negatives - with members of both parties - will hurt his prospects whereas Gary Johnson is viewed positively by members of both parties - at least among those who know something about himChristie appeals to many more people. No one even knows who Gary Johnson is.
