Last Night there was a Republican Presidential Debate last night. I am sure a lot of political junkies like me watched it, but not much else. Here is my quick run down of what I thought about it. First Gary Johnson, former two term governor of New Mexico. He has been nicknamed Governor Veto, Johnson has a strong Libertarian streak which is probably why he earned that nickname. Overall I like Johnson, he has a lot of good ideas. His problem during the debate is he had to request a question, he got ignored for quite some time, which I find ridiculous no matter if you have 5 or 20 candidates, the moderators should be able to space the questions out evenly. I think that made him a bit flustered for the evening. He was a bit long on his answers and so that hurt him. For my personal preference he is not Pro-Life, he thinks it is a woman's choice. However his silver lining is he does not think the Federal Government should be involved, he does not think funding should go for it, he thinks there should be parental notification/consent laws. Johnson of course came down on the side of free markets, entitlement reform, smaller government, states rights, and ending the wars.
