Pros and Cons for Gary Johnson
Permalink  
 


I saw a comment on fb a while back that outlined some rather surprising concerns with Gary Johnson, but of course because of the crappy search function of fb, I cannot find the comment anymore. So, I am trying to do my own investigative research on him. To be honest, the guy creeps me out and I don't like his history of long term pot smoking. But other than that, the most I am finding on him is the standard "I am a comet to blow up the two party system" and other superfluous boisterous stuff that really does not tell me what he REALLY and hisorically stands for. Sure I can go to his website and read the fluffy stuff he SAYS, but I can get the same cotton balls for dinner satisfaction by reading up on Trump or Clinton's website. All candidates website statements are fluffed up to the point that anything said seems good, but is not really getting to the nitty gritty of how they stand.

Example: Gary's stance on illegal immigration seems to be that he doesn't support building a wall, but that he does support making it easier for immigrants to legally come here. I dont like the wall stance, but the rest seems agreeable. But then I see this video and he seems to get pretty worked up over the interviewer using the words "illegal immigrants". Sorry Gary, but THAT IS WHAT THEY ARE! and NO I do NOT want a law breaker already here to suddenly be legal! Especially when a good portion of them break the law and bring their mexican cartel here! ugh.

 

Anyway, what are you guys finding on this guy?

His main platform is making pot legal and he is pro abortion. When he was interviewed the reporter asked him something about working with other presidents and he couldn't name one president or prime minister.

He and Weld are just two 60's hippies having fun. At first I was interested in them, but they are a joke.

When I first heard about him, I liked him. And then we got to here him talk. He makes Bernie look like Einstein.

he is pro abortion till viability of the fetus. So basically he is pro abortion.
he is pro legalizing pot. Which I cant get behind cuz I have seen what it did to my son and my state.

Those two alone are a big turn off for me, but what else?

He knows NOTHING about foreign policy. The Aleppo thing was forgivable IMO, but he couldn't even name other world leaders.

 Neither does Trump. I'm not for this Gary guy but if ignorance is the argument, Trump takes the cake... zero qualifications to hold any office.

I would say Trump knows more about getting our economy better than either hillary or Johnson and if you go by Bengazi and poor judgment concerning confidential emails Hillary's has no common sense about foreign policy. My DIL's brother who was a officer in the military knew military personnel who worked in the white house and it is true about her lack of respect and completely rude to those in uniform.

So if you are considering Johnson over Hillary, vote Johnson; he is a great and knowledgeable guy, but if you are considering him over Trump, Johnson is a moron.

Trump probably knows more about foreign relations than most think.

He conducts business everywhere.

 You sure about that? He either knows nothing or his temperament doesn't allow for him to answer any sort of question related to the topic, when pressed. Either way, he's unfit for office. I'm inclined to believe he simply can't hold his temper. Nobody can be as stupid as he appears.

Trump isn't stupid, he wouldn't be a billionaire if he was. Hillary is a liar and that even came out during the last debate.

She let a American ambassador and several brave men die in Bengazi because she refused to send help and both her and Obama tried to pass it off as a riot because of a video. She defended a child molester knowing he was quilty and laughed about it. The Clinton foundation is shady as you know what. She should be in jail not running for president.

 His temperament? 

Oh brother!

He is smart. When asked about his business, he buttons his lip.

That's smart business.

 Oh, no, no,no.  Obama didn't practice law, and he was a junior senator who hadn't even completed a full term, yet.

If people want to vote for Johnson - have at it. That's more understandable and forgivable than Hillary. Hillary is a corrupt, evil crook and murderer and should be in jail. It's a travesty she is able to run for president.

Trump would be more impressive if he was a self-made billionaire. He isn't. If my dad gave me a chunk of change and I went bankrupt several times and bragged about it, I'd be too embarrassed to run for any sort of office much less president of the United States. And his temperament is something to worry about - unless you are ok with having our leader make an ass of himself and the country across the globe. Oh wait... 

 

I agree that Hillary is a lying nut. However, she is qualified for the position, criminal or not. I don't know about anybody else but I don't apply for jobs I am unfit to perform. Trump is completely unqualified. He knows it, too, but he's banking on hot headed Americans who have been chomping at the bit to voice their bigoted rage. That's his following... ignorant folks who salivate over some petulant man-child who ogles his daughters and speaks of women as if they are his toys. He belongs in prison right next to Hillary. I'm not worried because he won't be winning this election. Americans do enjoy a good side show but when push comes to shove, they know better.

She isn't qualified for schit. She rode her husband's coattails all the way to the White House. Big freaking whoop. SHe was a piss poor Sec of State. Liberals just open wide and take whatever garbage Hillary wants to shove down their gullet.

Still more experience than Trump. I never said he practiced law. Trump only practices diddling young girls and losing his papa's cash. Sounds like the kind of guy who should be running our country. Or not.

Johnson also said we should be glad he doesn't know the names of any foreign leaders becasue he can't start a war with a country if he can't find it on a map. Which isn't true either but whatever...

 Trump has actually run a business, unlike a CAREER politician.  So, not she is NOT qualified because our govt was never intended to be run by career politicians.

And , being a criminal where you can't even qualify for an FBI clearance makes you absolutely UNQUALIFIED. But, you have Amateur in Chief in office now who is perhaps one of the stupidest people to ever hold the Office.

This is one of the best elections in our history. Even if Trump loses, he singlehandedly blew the lid off the Sleazy Rino establishment suck up losers. Good riddance. If that is the Repo party now of these losers who turn tail and run like the cowards they are when the going gets tough, i want NOTHING to do with them. They make me sick.

I'm sorry for coming off so rudely. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I don't mean to imply that you ladies shouldn't feel good about your choice. I'm in a bad space right now, personally, and I think it's coming off in my posts. So I'll leave you be for the night.

 Trump is a self made billionaire.  His father gave him $1M of family money, Trump took that and made it into billions.

Hillary may have the job titles that make it appear she has experience but she doesn't.  She did do anything in those jobs that helped the country.  She only used them to network and make more contacts to get more money flowing into the "foundation".

But the election is about the corruption throughout our government, Get trump in there and at least we have a shot of breaking up that old boy network, with Hillary, we definitely have more of the same and it will get worse.  Trump's campaign is about putting our government on a better path.

 

BTW, I like how you present things, we can actually discuss issues and not get nasty.  Sooooo nice.

 What makes her qualified?  That she's been a corrupt politician for years?

Hillary can't hold down a job. She screws every job up that she has held. She's been fired numerous times over her "career". She's unfit.

 Thank you. I thought I was being very rude. So I logged off for the night. I'm still feeling sad but not in a place where I think I might attack people. :)  I agree about Hillary. I feel like we have nobody to chose this time. I have actually felt that way for so many elections. When are we going to get someone good?

I suppose "he's not Hillary" could be considered a pro- for Gary Johnson.

The "boys will be boys" argument is tired and inaccurate. Unless you're a guy who wishes for it to be true, I suppose.
