Send him a little money. Even $20 helps.

By all means vote for him.

True patriots need to give up the defeatist attitude.

I'll keep an eye on him and try and learn a little more about him. I don't like any of the others out there in the GOP field, they're more of the same. Especially Santorum, he's going to fix the problem that he helped create? Meh. In fact, I'm really tired of the whole GOP.

I used to think RP was a bit nutso, but he's perhaps the only true statesman left.

If Jon pulls anything dishonest, I will expose him on his FB account and then suffer a storm of nastiness from his clueless sycophants.

Isn't that what you ALWAYS do??

There are a lot of things I don't like about Gary Johnson, in a personal sense, but he did run a tight ship here in NM. He kept a Democrat legislature in check and did not overspend. I would vote for him in a heartbeat for President because he did very well here as Governor. His successor Bill Richardson was up to the top of his hair in pay to play schemes. His cronies feasted ravenouosly at the public trough. His crowning acheivement was the Rail Runner Train that left us owing 850 million dollars with an additional 60 million a year after collecting fares. Someone calculated that we pay $25,000 per rider in subsidies per year. The Rail Runner was built solely to boost Richardson's credentials as a possible Democrat candidate for President. I'm sure Richardson controls millions now, in private life, even if they are not officially in his bank accounts. This is how politicians get in a millionaire's club.

Good to hear someone from New Mexico comment on Gary. He was the first governor you guys ever reelected. He also still does well in the polls after his second term.

You could have hauled them around in private limos all year for half those amounts.
