    For years now I've been hearing about how the newsletters might bother Paul. I like the guy but this is a real problem politically (I have no idea if he wrote or didn't wrote those newsletters because there are so many out there).

    Johnson won two terms as Governor in a Democratic state, and left New Mexico with a billion dollar budget surplus. Gary Johnson was a legitimate Libertarian but I get the feeling he was ignored because he was pro-choice and didn't spew this xenophobic pipe-dream nonsense about borders. He doesn't have a big scandal over his head and the Ron Paul fans still dislike him for the most part. I think Paul fans are not strictly Libertarian and it is troubling.

    I think Gary Johnson's foreign policy is not perfect (pretty good though), but aside from that he is great should have been given access to the televised debates.

    Well, they are Republican party debates, and he wasn't an important candidate in that party. However, I would have liked to see him in the debates too.

    He was polling better than Santorum and Huntsman in some of these debates.

    I like your sentiments though. :]
