Ex-N.M. governor Gary Johnson announces for president

Former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson said today he is running for president in 2012.Johnson, a Republican who was governor from 1995 to 2003, made his announcement on the steps of the State House in Concord, N.H. On Twitter a short while ago.Johnson has libertarian views and is perhaps best known for his efforts to legalize marijuana and for cutting New Mexico's budget and taxes. He's been traveling to early presidential contest states such as Iowa and New Hampshire talking about the nation's debt and U.S. involvement in Afghanistan and Libya.

WELL I DOT KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT IF HE IS RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT THEM I GOTA GET MY SELF REGISTERED TO VOTE! EVEN IF I BELIEVE VOTING DOESNT MATTER,IF HE IS UP FOR LEGALIZING MARIJUANA THEN HES GOT MINE. NOW LETS JUST HOPE HE GETS THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATION. KNOWING OUR LUCK HE PROBABLY WONT BUT AT LEAST ITS SOMEHING TO LOOK FORWARD TO AND HOPE FOR...LINK TO ARTICLE

He's not gonna win the election. Obviously the guy most related to all the other presidents is gonna win...

He is a "Republican" that supports abortion and legalized marijuana. He has about zero chance of gettting the Republican nomination.

That leaves him as an independent...and he is hardly known outside of NM or some very hard care libertarian circles.

I'm calling this one way early...no chance.

he seems like the kinda guy that should at least have the chance of running...who knows maybe somethig will happen and he will end up getting the nod

I would hope that just his running for president would bring more attention to the positive aspects of marijuana legalization. Currently the most dangerous aspect of smoking marijuana isn't the health aspects, but getting caught and it's a shame. I believe TPTB are afraid of the altered conciousness that drugs enable and they are desperately trying to keep us in his manufactured reality as long as possible.

Not picking on you op but I find it queer how folks take so much interest in Marijuana matters but give little to no attention about other issues.

I lived in NM during Gov. Garys administration and then he was a right wing nutcase. His young wife must have turned him on in more ways than one to get him to "see the Light" as it were.

I agree OS....no chance

you use the term queer very freely!..should find different words to express yourself...yu have your opinions and youre entitled to them but thats some straight up disrespect!! who says i dont worry about any other matters. go check out my profile and my posts and you will thnk otherwise...i just take a special interest in th legalazation because i find it not to be any worse than drinking and that is...so poster,from now on just be careful how you say things...

I could be wrong but I believe he intended queer in this definition:
•curious: beyond or deviating from the usual or expected
www.google.com...

Maybe the poster is from another country where they don't know the word queer as in reference to what you say. Similar to an Englishman calling a cigarette a FAG.

I wouldn't take it personally.

in america a queer is a queer...

reply to post by gdaub23


I'm not here to argue with you, but he/she did not call you a queer. You can argue that a queer is a queer here in America, but to those of us who are educated in vocabulary (and American I might add) realize that this wasn't intended to be an insult to you.

While I agree with you on issues regarding the legalization of marijuana, I cannot fault the poster for offering that insight.

im new here but i wasjustchecking through and seen this..and eve though i kow he wont come anywhere near winning i still believe in his views.i would vote for him

you use the term queer very freely!..should find different words to express yourself... queer has generally meant "strange", "unusual", or "out of alignment". It might refer to something suspicious or "not quite right", or to a person with mild derangement or who exhibits socially inappropriate behaviour. The expression "in Queer Street" was used in the UK as of the 1811 edition of Francis Grose's A Classical Dictionary ....get high on life not drugs
