Gary Johnson: The Athlete's Guide to Good Government

Our economy is tangled up right now. People are worried about their jobs and their futures. So how do we start to fix the problems? Given that we have a long race in front of us, we need to get back to basics. We need to do the hard work that makes us stronger and we need to have clear goals and plans to keep us on track. It all gets back to common sense government. We need a government that sets the rules and creates a level playing field for all competitors. We need government that lives within its means.

Right now, Washington is borrowing 43 cents out of every dollar it's spending. We have to stop the spending and start thinking about providing the best service at the lowest price. When I was governor of New Mexico I saw how running the government is a lot like preparing for a triathlon. When we make good decisions, they build on themselves. Every lap in the pool, every spin on the bike, and every run prepares us for competition. Then there comes a time in every race where we have to dig deep and to push through and the results are worth it.

Do you want to keep America the strongest country in the world? Do you want to do the hard work it's going to take to restore fiscal discipline? It all starts with you and me. This is about America. OUR AMERICA.

-- Gary Johnson

@grateful828 Gary says he is very much in favor of taking back the control of the economy from the FED. This guy is not dummy - he is the real deal.

Lets get behind Gary Johnson. This guy is the real deal.  Gary Johnson for President of the United States.

If Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination, I'm voting for the Libertarian, GARY JOHNSON!

I have lost 15 pounds after following the Gary Johnson's campaign for US president. Have not even worked out that hard. I guess that seeing a 58 year old guy in better shape than I am is a good incentive. If Gary can make a difference on an "I do what I want and eat what I want hard headed libertarian rebel" like me, then try to imagine what he can do for the United States. I have always been very skeptical about politicians,but Governor Johnson is the real deal. Time to pedal for a while now!

Anyone else think that his running looks incredibly unathletic for someone who's supposedly completed ironmans?

A libertarian who loves cycling :D

If they took the lyrics out of this song, the video would be a lot better.

Great message!

This is what we must do. Get back to the basics. Hard work is the only thing that results in wealth.
