Gary Johnson, a libertarian-leaning former New Mexico governor who wants marijuana legalized, has a sobering message for those Republicans fired up by U.S. Sen.-elect Scott Brown's big win in Massachusetts.

"It would be a mistake for Republicans to view this as some sort of a mandate," Johnson said in an interview Thursday. "I just see (voters having) a real disgust with those in office.

"It isn't a shift to Republicans. It's just, 'Get whoever's in there out,'" he said.

Ok man I get it you don't ike the GoP...maybe you wanted Coakley instead? Whats the point? Browns's election was a mandate against top down socialism, health care, and Obama's thuggery.

Brown was just a weapon used by voters to try and stop all of this. He was a GoP candidate and presented himself as a way to oppose what was going on in with Obama's administration. And he won.

If more GoP types can convince people of the same thing they will win too. Whether this is god or not well thats another thing. But posting a union view is kinda funny...we all know where their loyalties lie and what they want people to think.
