Now why would he do that? A little preventative, cyber guerrilla warfare, I’d say.
Here’s the things about moderates, independents, or leftists in moderate name only (LIMNO–hey, it’s better than FCINO), whatever, they seem to hate everyone and stand for nothing. For all their “independence” they certainly seem to roll with popular opinion.
Now, Obama and the Dems are great, according to the nuanced moderates. A guy like Rick Perry (small government, conservative, fiscally responsible–isn’t that what the independent people want, by the way?) might threaten a more “reasonable” moderate like Barack Obama so guys like Johnson find some wacky group (not-so-subliminal message: ALL Texans are wacky and cannot be trusted) and tries to attach them to Rick Perry.
So lame.
Newsflash haters: Texans are doing well because they’ve clung to rugged individualism, their guns, their God, their independence, their fiscal responsibility, etc. I know it’s galling when secular humanistic states like California are going down the crap-hole. It’s tough to see small government being such a big win while big government harms the very people it’s supposed to help.
But that’s just the way things roll, guys. Good luck finding evidence that big social programs are ever a cultural, fiscal or social win. They NEVER are a win because they strip the individual of his ability to choose his own life. It is axiomatic.
And by the way, Jerry Brown has actual radical ties. Will that disqualify him to run for Governor in California? Why no! No, it won’t.
Bleh.
