    I’ve been impressed with Gary since seeing him on Cavuto’s show a year or so ago. In the above video, I was with him until he wanted to legalize heroin. That’s just too much too soon. Let’s legalize marijuana first and see how that goes — but good luck with that. Californians even voted it down. If we legalized pot, does he think drug cartels wouldn’t find the most successful purveyor and kill him?

    Speaking of CA, how can Mr. Johnson say a border fence isn’t feasible? San Diego has one and their illegal immigration rates have dropped in a major way.

    I didn’t hear much about adherence to the Constitution and whether he considers himself a Constitutionalist. Would he do away with all the departments that aren’t mentioned in the founding documents, such as education, the EPA, FDA?

    What’s his stance on nuclear? What about drilling for oil, natural gas and coal?

    Also heard nothing on Islamic terror and intimidation INSIDE the U.S. How would he deal with front groups like CAIR? What about Sharia Law?

    Would he roll back our governance to the way the Constitution meant for it to be before Woodrow Wilson took over and changed the legal system to include “precedent,” which previously WAS NOT AMERICAN.

    While I’m all for the U.S. leaving the theaters of the Middle East, does Mr. Johnson not think it’s in our best interest to wipe out the Taliban and AQ on their home turf before they send something flying our way?

    If you could forward these comments to Mr. Johnson, I would appreciate it. He asked for comments and criticisms. I’ve provided them. If he could provide the answers I agree with, I’d strongly support him.

    Thank you.
