Libertarian Gary Johnson Tries To Unite Left and Right

Posted on
March 30, 2016
by Agree Staff
There are Bernie Sanders supporters who say they will never vote for Hillary Clinton. There are Ted Cruz supporters who say they will never vote for Donald Trump. Where could they go? Gary Johnson, former Republican governor of New Mexico and 2016 Libertarian presidential candidate, is making them an offer.

Gary Johnson Asks Republicans, Democrats and Greens to "Be Libertarian"

His 2016 presidential campaign online ad, "Be Libertarian With Me," begins with the image of an antique TV set and the sounds of old-fashioned communication – telegraph, typewriter and dial-up Internet service circa 1995. We hear the tinny voice of Johnson, sounding like he's broadcasting from a ham radio setup in his basement, trying to deliver a distress call to the nation.

Seeking to unify the scattered pockets of those alienated by the two-party system, he announces, "This is Governor Gary Johnson. Today I reach out to everyone with a vote and an axe to grind. From Tea Party to Constitution Party, the Green and Libertarian parties, I reach out to all of you, including the disaffected and disillusioned among the Republicans and Democrats."

Blending critiques from the left and right, he says, "Today a handful of people in Washington are ruining America for 330 million of us. They've kept our nation in a state of perpetual war and increasing, unsustainable debt. This small group has presided over the elimination of our Bill of Rights, and the systematic dismantling of the freedoms guaranteed us under the Constitution."

Gary Johnson Offers a Choice: Me or Tyranny

Johnson clearly recognizes the tall order he faces trying to unite ideologically disparate camps. But he gives it his best shot: "We the people may never agree on the small things, but let's agree on the big things. Our leaders have blown it ... Let's put our parties and our differences aside, one time."

Sketching out a nationalist agenda, he proposes, "Together, we'll stop the spending and end the wars. Together, we'll rebuild our own roads, bridges, schools and hospitals – instead of building theirs, half a world a away."

He closes with his own twist on the money-back guarantee: "And if in four years, we as a people decide we don't like peace, prosperity and freedom, we can always vote tyranny back into office again." After a final plea to "Live Free" text on the screen urges: "Gary Johnson. Fiercely Independent. Google him."

Pointing YouTube viewers to random Google search results might not be best way to control one's message, but a third-party revolution to upend the two-party duopoly has to start somewhere.
