‘Veto Johnson’ endorses ‘Dr. No’ for president

ARLINGTON, VIRGINIA – Today, Gary Johnson – two-term governor of New Mexico – is formally endorsing Ron Paul for President.

To announce his endorsement, Governor Johnson issued the following statement:

“I am endorsing Ron Paul for the Republican nomination for President because of his commitment to less government, greater liberty, and lasting prosperity for America. We are at a point in this country where we need to reduce our dependency on government and regain control of our future. To this end, Ron Paul will bring back troops, end the War in Iraq, and will strengthen the U.S. dollar and the economy. For these reasons and more, Ron Paul has my support, respect, and vote.”

Gary Johnson was governor of New Mexico from 1995 to 2003. As governor, he was a forceful advocate for limited government, gaining the nickname “Veto Johnson” for his record of vetoing hundreds of bills.

At one time Gary Johnson was considered the highest elected official in favor of decriminalizing drugs.
I like him.

I once liked him and then lost respect for him when a letter I sent to him several months before his term ended, I enclosed this very question. I had asked if he would PLEASE pardon all the pot smokers who were not involved in any acts of violence? He never responded. When he left, only one person was pardoned. A man who had embezzled some funds. Johnson is a phony, in my books.

He did endorse Ron Paul though.

Yes, another "No" person would be a great VP candidate. Don't know his opinion on other issues but as long as he wants to limit government and get the economy back he'd have my vote.
