The Lyrics

The second entry in my "Third Party Candidates" series.
He's from New Mexico, that place of sand
"Greenest" gov from Enchantment's Land
Raised in ND, now he's takin' a stand
Runnin' for the White House, that job that's most grand

Gary, Gary Johnson
Our man for liberty

He's not a fan of endless foreign wars
So if Gary wins
Peace will be in store
He also could handle that risky chore
Of balancin' the budget forevermore

Gary, Gary Johnson
Let's send him to DC

He's not been in Congress, oh but that's okay
'Cause he knows how to fix up the USA
Pay off the debt, well that's what they say
And he doesn't care if you're straight or you're gay

Gary, Gary Johnson
Running for the LP

Oh some folks say that Gary just can't win
The two-party system: such a drag it's been
'Bama and Romney just throwin' spin
Telling half- and untruths, oh it's such a sin

Gary, Gary Johnson
Break the duopoly
* He supports legalized marijuana.

I grew up with the Bill Hayes version of the OS, but looks like the Wellingtons must have been very similar. Thanks for educating us on other political choices. ;)

Unfortunately he's more liberal than libertarian. The LP had a much better nominee in 2008 and I almost voted for him.
