Gary Johnson, Probably the Most Honest Politician in the Country

[MountainDon]

Too honest to be elected President?

Johnson was Governor of NM for two consecutive four year terms, 1995 to 2003.
The best Governor in the 25 years I've been in NM, in my opinion.

As Governor of New Mexico, Johnson was known for his common-sense business approach to governing.  
He eliminated New Mexico's budget deficit, cut the rate of growth in state government in half and privatized half of the state prisons.

While in office, Governor Johnson vetoed 750 bills
(which is about equal to all the combined vetoes of the other 49 Governors in the country at the time )
and thousands of line item vetoed bills.

Gary Johnson's Seven Principles of Good Government:
1- Seek reality and base all decisions and actions upon it.
2- Be honest to all people all of the time.
3- Acknowledge your critics, but do what's right.
4- Determine your goal, develop a plan and then execute it.
5- Communicate.
6- Anything that could be revealed eventually, should be revealed immediately.
7- Find a job you love and make a difference.
