Libertarian Gary Johnson gains ground by screwing up
An interesting take on Gary Johnson (Libertarian), even down to quoting a New Yorker piece for his "love of Ayn Rand", as if it was some kind of bad thing. Maybe bad in the eyes of the current regime, but may actually spark some people to go see what the fuss is about...I actually found his reasoning about why "looking bone headed" but admitting it "is a good thing" interesting.
It's a good thing he wasn't asked before Alawiz became a tirade about color and Sunni or later
How many of those minor threatened sects were brought to safety under Obama and Kerry? About fifty. Out of a proposed 55,000.
I jest but the relevency is the part of the cycle we are in right now. Having cut the military in half slashed the payscale and taken to using private military units for everything from maintainence on the B2 and F111 while getting rid of the only decent aircraft out there. it's now time to have a crisis which calls for re-manning, ha ha ha person-ing no won't do re-soldiering with all new implements and tools of the trade thus taking care of one large batch of businesses and union employs the present Prez can go out on a note of having brought peace to the world but the next one will get blind sided and....anyway it's a cycle that includes lots of big words like inflation, devaluation and hell no we aren't going to pay what we promised to you old retired bags of future worm feed. and that's the way it goes. The relevency is nothing is close to relatively relevent to anything.
Next item .. purple dresses.
The truth is that I am proud to be a Ted Cruz guy, and unless he does something to betray my trust, I suspect I always will be. That said, I'll take Gary Johnson over Hillary or Trump any day of the week. There's plenty not to like about Mr. Johnson, but at least I can look myself in the mirror afterwards knowing that I don't have a Trump or Hillary vote on my conscience.
So I asked for information and facts and sources on Mr. Trump. Myself I like None of the Above by not voting the best but realism and objectivism plays a part. I also like a Constitutional Republic and that 240 year old document.
Well nothing surfaced that was new and wasn't suspect. An answer such as posted that before isn't good enough. to serve nor answer a test of Law Two 'is it useful.'
I found if you treated Trump as the long sought after outsider it was a different view and that's not a sole opinion. Is he useful in retaining our Republic and Constitution? Yes he is. Is he evil? No he is not.
Law three demands we make our own set of values and ethics all that follows. Back to the beginning it's an individual decision as long as one honors it and lives up to it as best one can do so,.
Which brings us back to your point. Beav I guess one fo the new people holds to his line of thinking without further comment. EWG points out the fallacy of good intentions.
So what is the greater sin. I can vote None of the Above and help lose the Republic or I can 'use' Trump as a tool to derail that effort.
Odds were put this way. Your fear is a 100 percent certainty with Clilnton in office. Johnson and Klein are message candidates. Johnson holds a key amount of support but has come down to many times to the left. All to my evaluation, Trump has been savaged by this years version of dirty bimboism by the party who should never mention such topics. Kept going and kept learning. Still he is in gambling terms a lottery candidate. What iyou see is what you get but now it's not a lottery ticket it's tweo percent. That's more like draw poker. But it's not a one hundred percent certainty for death of a nation.
That's a rational way of looking at it and if it works none of the above etc. are a possibility.
so....Law Two and Law Three and pick your own winner. I vote for the Republic and the Constitution. I don't factor in subjective wishful thinking.
Best I can tell you because here in this forum yiou are always on your own. And thee is never anyone to blame or applaud but yourself.
How does that stance square with being a Cruz guy? Mighty wide separation. Cruz favored 10 commandments. Johnson got more laws passed in New Mexico than that and didn't even mention gun control.
However he did veto around i700 measures and his controllable debt was only 5% or so the rest of the 7 percent total was federal money and programs. So he gets credit for 5/7ths of the debt increase not the whole one hundred percent which would have been more in a 60% Democrat legislature had he not voted against those measures assuming they were fiscal in nature. Thee is a question on kickbacks to Hollywood of 25% of any money they spend filming in NM. That one is still to be tracked down. It happened but all the info is not yet gathered.
That was clearly a gotcha question for a candidate
who wants nothing to do with the wars of the Middle East.
That was designed to help Shillary.
Me dino ain't for Gary but I calls 'em as I sees 'em.
The resulting hideous concoction stewed up by a media drugged out on life as a reality show does no service to the public. What's amazing is the lack of MSM perception as to why the public is abandoning them in favor of the new online nonstop information world.
As much as we hear that everyone should favor a global market, the U.S. media severely criticize a public that looks to foreign news sources for a different perspective. It should be embarrassing when real American news is first released on a foreign site, but for U.S. media trained to wait until it's told what to say, the facts don't seem to matter.
Libertarians had chances to enlarge their party and gain recognition. They chose to go with Johnson instead.
Greens did better in that respect and still may try for four years of recognition.
The rest is a sixty day race with damaged goods politician versus outsider tactics from the business world.
but yiour statements were not wrong and were right on the money as well I just used a little different perspective and a few facts of the day to support it. In my quest to set out the real race
Socialist Autocracy featuring Comrade Clinton
versus
Facts not Fairy Tails.
Stuck on nine percent is hardly a laudable showing.
Liberals aren't promising to close down the Dept of Education, balance the budget by reducing spending (including cuts to welfare state), and eliminating the income tax completely. Johnson promises all those things. In those areas, Trump is more liberal than Johnson.
Bottom line: check your premises. Analyze the details and use reason to draw your own rational conclusions.
He (Johnson) may have read Ayn, but does not fallow her ideas any more than Ryan. I fear no one running is a believer in Rand's warnings. The question is which one will do the least damage.
The polls were at one time seriously offered as a replacement for voting but they went to far when they added focus groups.
So....for now realclear.com and a few others. The slanted ones startled me as two of them at least still have Trump in the lead but are Clinton supporters. Unless they are distancing themselves???.
Stop the meddling. Vote Libertarian.
By the way there has been a change in the percentages in the four way no change but in the two way clinton picked up .4 for a 2.4 lead and the declining sign is no longer listed.
four way
RCP Average 8/26 - 9/11 -- -- 41.9 39.9 9.0 2.9 Clinton +2.0
two way
RCP Average 8/26 - 9/12 -- -- 45.8 43.4 Clinton +2.4
Facts, Accurate as much as possible, updated as often as possible.
As for his governor ship record he was only responsible for 5/7ths of that increase and had a Democrat legislature to contend with vetoing 700 plus bills.
But I dont find him a strong supporter of the Constitution nor a Constitutional Republic.
You really haven't figured out who the Hildebeasters are? The techniques are about half Radical Reasoning and the other half is Lykoffs manual for secular progressives "Dont See The Elephant."
I, on the other hand, have traveled abroad--to Canada, the UK, and Israel. So I know a fact or two about the world that Gary Johnson either doesn't, or doesn't think is important.
1.1 Sunnis
1.2 Shi'a
1.2.1 Twelvers/Imamis
1.2.2 Ismailis (Seveners)
1.2.3 Alawis
1.3 Druzes
2 Christianity
3 Judaism
3.1 Syrian Jews
3.2 Israeli Jews
4 Yazidis
5 Hinduism
Even this list was incorrect as it doesn't list Ba'hai.
But the one that slipped my mind was Yazidi.
With 55,000 proposed and a great many from the Aleppo area Johnson should have had some knowledge and with places like Pyongyang or his opponents names and perhaps hometowns and birth places. Quick without thinking where was Johnson born and what is Clintons name?
