American voters are not liking their general election choices.
They don't like Lyin ' Donald or Crooked Hillary.
His name is Gary Johnson.
He was the governor of New Mexico for two terms.
Well, there is a third-party candidate who is polling at double-digits against the two front-runners (10%)
He was a hard-core, bare-bones governor, who refused to allow the legislature to push spending, power, or influence unless it was actually necessary.
From 1995-2003, Johnson developed an impressive record as governor of the state.
Today, New Mexico still lingers in the bottom rung on many quality of life indicators.
High poverty, food stamp use, and general government dependence have become the norm.
In spite of her best efforts, the latest Republican Governor, Susana Martinez, has only moved the needle somewhat toward greater prosperity and opportunity.
Now, Gary Johnson is running for President on the Libertarian ticket, a second time.
I may not like Trump, and I definitely despise Hillary,
For now, though, I must announce the ten reasons why I would never vote for Johnson:
He is not a real libertarian (see reasons below). Let's also recognize his prior record as governor of New Mexico ... as a REPUBLICAN!
He supports Obama's Executive Amnesty. Yes, he does.
He is pro-abortion. OK, pro-choice, if you must.
Pro-homosexual marriage
He would force private business owners to violate their conscience (Christian baker must bake gay wedding cake, etc)
He chose William Weld--liberal RINO former Massachusetts Governor--as his running mate. Really.
He already ran for President. Do we really need a do-over third-party candidate?
He called Donald Trump a "#", yet cannot say it to the media mogul's face.
He did nothing to build the Republican brand or further the libertarian-conservative cause in New Mexico during and after his tenure
He doesn't have a a food stamp's chance in South LA of winning.
