Gary Johnson Inserts Himself Into the Debate

As you know, libertarian-leaning Republican Gary Johnson was excluded from the recent CNN-sponsored GOP presidential debate in New Hampshire. But thanks to the magic of the Innertubes, he was able to answer all the questions posed. You can watch that here:

If he did this in front of a green screen we could have at least digitally inserted him onto the stage.

[Matt Felch]

He needs to work on his delivery and eloquence, which is a shame, because I really like him so far.

[Mike M.]

Me too. It's sad, but the harsh truth is that his big chance was the FNC debate, and he blew it, plain and simple.

[Fatty Bolger]

Maybe so, but you don't get better at those things by sitting on the sidelines. I'm glad he's doing this.

[Citizen Nothing]

"Johnson Inserts Himself..."
You guys are bad.

[squarooticus]

Better than "Wiener pulls out".

[wylie]

I should've known I was way too late to point this out in the other dick-thread. Fucking errands.

[Citizen Donny]

What do you need that for, Dude?

[shrike]

You're fucked, Gary, when they let Alan Keyes* in and keep you out.

* recent name change.

The fact that he chose Elvis over Cash makes me skeptical of his wisdom and decision making skills.

Admittedly, he needs to demonstrate a bit more passion. Not an over the top RP type, but just something a little more forceful.

[Pro Libertate]

Elvis moved up in the hierarchy when the world learned that he was a fanatical Python fan.

I'm not making that up.

[Sudden]

A fair point. But moved above Cash? I don't know about that.

[Sudden]

And in regards to the blackberry vs. iPhone, I expect the libertarian candidate to fully endorse the open source brilliance of Android.

[Id]

I develop for Android (OS and app-level). It's an infuriating pile of half-finished trash.

[Pro Libertate]

There's no evidence that the Man in Black watched Python at all.

[WasabiPeas]

Old Elvis or Young Elvis? Young Elvis was cool.

Of course, the most important characteristic needed for being president is being good on television.

[Meta_Man]

A libertarian using the government-created internet. Interesting.

[Citizen Nothing]

And how did he get to the studio, hmm?
I'll tell you how: ROADS!

[wylie]

How was he alive to even get to the studio, huh?

I'll tell you how: OBAMACARE.

Fucking libertard ingrates.

[yonemoto]

you idiot, he used SOMALIA to get to the studio.

[curiousgeorge]

Bad troll is bad.

[DJ DERP]

This site deserves a better class of troll.

[Max]

And I'm gonna give it to them

[Kevin]

So, is his campaign effectively finished?

[yonemoto]

why did he even bother? god damn.

[Greg Cosmos]

Your links don't actually go where they say they do, but I found it searching around Youtube.

[CE]

I didn't have time to watch all of this. Apple or Blackberry?

My comment got marked as spam because I copied one of the questions posed to Ron Paul, about which smartphone he likes better....

[Adamson]

Maybe he'll come to his senses and pull out of the Republican race so he can run for the LP nomination. He hasn't a snowball's chance of being the Repuglican nominee, but a much stronger chance of the Libertarian nomination - in which case his voice will be heard all the way to November.

[bill]

i dunno, it seems more dignified to just bitch about not being in the debate than to make a "now here's what I woulda told them goons" video

[scarpe Nike Store]

is good
