Former GOP primary candidate Gary Johnson asks you to be Libertarian with him for one election

Aug. 8, 2012 6:23pm Christopher Santarelli

Former New Mexico Governor and Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson, who was also a GOP presidential primary candidate, has released a new ad declaring that he’s “the only candidate that agrees with you 100 percent.”

The cheery, noticeably well-produced video features Johnson running down a list of issues where a majority of Americans support the same position as the former New Mexico governor.

“Be libertarian with me for one election,” asks Johnson towards the video’s end. “Live Free.”

The closing credits read “participate in your freedom,” then display a dollar sign on tempo with the bass drum in the background music, followed by “Fight for it. Donate to it. Try It.”

The Boston Globe reports that Johnson has qualified for federal matching funds for his campaign and has received approximately $300,000 in funding so far.

So the survival of our country depends on removing Obama from office ASAP. Any vote that is not for Romney helps Obama’s chances at remaining in power for another four years, when he would not have to worry about any pretense of being accountable to the American people. Already right before the election this year he’s committed numerous impeachable offenses, including:
- declaring amnesty for illegals under 30 years old;
- changing the existing law on welfare reform, removing the work requirement;
- refusing to enforce illegal immigration deportation standards under existing law.
What abuses would he perpetrate if he got reelected???

America would literally not survive another 4 years of unabashed, unconstitutional Marxist imperialism. ANY VOTE that does not go to elect Romney strengthens Obama’s shot at remaining in power. This is our time to get real results to stave off the END of America, not for wasting your one vote on symbolism as the world’s last haven of freedom comes to a final, irreversible halt.

Gary Johnson is right. He is with us 100% and this video actually points out how much in agreement the American People are with him. I’m definitely with him on every issue like having the FED audited, ending the war in Afghanistan and repealing the Patriot Act.

  Who cares whether he agrees with you or not?
  
  Does he have ANY chance of winning? No.
  Will every vote for him be one that WOULD have gone to Romney? Yes
  Will every vote he takes away from Romney be EXACTLY the same as a vote for Obama? Yes.
  
  Please think about what you’re doing with your vote. Symbolic votes have REAL consequences on election outcomes. This election for the survival of our country matters too much to waste your vote on a symbolic statement with disastrous results for the actual fate of the country.

great ad. now Romney needs to pick up his game. But that’s only if he is gonna bring back more liberty to America. And I’m not talking about consumerism or corporatism either.

Yes Romney, I understand that most of America has no freaking clue how to be free and that’s why the responsibility of protecting our sovereignty isn’t up to people who don’t know how to defend themselves.

But guess what: After all the methods of self-defense (money, weapons, supplies, technology) THEY WERE LIED TO.

NO DEGREE OF POWER IS KEPT IF TRUST IS BETRAYED.

You see, FULL TRUST was taken advantage of. It’s now up to you facking compromisers to make things right again.

  Sorry, even if Romney doesn’t restore any Constitutional liberty to America, he is 100,000x better for the country than Obama every day of the week.
  
  Even bare corporatism is 10,000x better than Marxism. And capitalism IS freedom.
  
  Saving America comes first. Reforming the GOP can come after the election.

Yes if you vote for Gary Johnson you are an Idiot. May as well vote for Obama, Gary Johnson is a jerk he is trying to be like Ross Perot. If you care about this country you should not vote for Gary Johnson. We got a train wreck coming, going down the tracks 500 MPH. You have got to stop that first before you can go the other way. Get a brain!!!

Sorry Paulbot

O’Lord, O’Bummer, Obama

  Romney is a nazi, we don’t need another Hitler thank you very much, read that disgusting book he preaches and he actually believes that stuff to. Obama is better than him cause of that. Gary Johnson is a real human being atleast.

  I actually have nothing against Johnson and he might have even made a great president. But it is beside the point. You, Individualism, are just not smart enough to realize it. Besides, a liberal like you should be voting for Obama anyway.

  Individualism,
  
  Obama’s religion of Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s “God d@mn the US of KKK” is better than Mormonism?
  Obama’s religion of black supremacy and hatred is better than Romney’s religion?
  
  How does Obama’s spiritual mentor, who baptized his two children and preached hatred of America, support your claim of “nationalism”? Get a clue.

He’s a sharp guy.

If he was a puppet, the banks would be backing him.
