Libertaria­n is the best choice

- -- Jean Blakeslee-Malpus, Bordentown -- Jane Kenny

After the second presidenti­al debate, I was more disgusted than ever with Trump and Hillary. Is this the best we have to offer – two old fools arguing over which one is more despicable? Fortunatel­y, we have a better candidate for president: Gary Johnson, two-term governor from NM, experience­d, competent and honest. He was excluded from the debates (by the other candidates), even though he is qualified to be on the ballots in all 50 states.

No law says we must choose from only two political parties. Abraham Lincoln was a 3rd party candidate and he healed a divided nation. We need that kind of leadership now. Johnson, a seasoned governor, has the know-how and political maturity to end the insane, childish partisansh­ip that is tearing the government and nation apart.

Gary Johnson is not a recognized name. Debates and media only inform us about the other two, the ones we dislike. Then I wonder: Will I be proud of my vote? Don’t I want a president I can feel comfortabl­e with? Please meet Gary Johnson personally, by viewing the “JohnsonWel­dYouIn” video at lp.org. This honest man, like Honest Abe, is the real deal! You’ll learn more in 2 minutes than you did during an hour of debate hot air.
