"I love Gary Johnson. He seems pretty perfect."

"I believe that voting for the lesser of two evils in game theory will always leads to more evil," Penn said in explaining his reasoning for supporting Gary.

"If you actually believe that Romney is a fabulous candidate, then you should vote for him, I don't. Most of the stuff I disagree with Obama on I also disagree with Romney on." (Source)

“Nowhere is it written -- in the Constitution or elsewhere – that we should have only two choices for President. Especially when those two choices are basically the same choice. Voters deserve the opportunity to see and hear a candidate who will offer real alternatives for this nation. Gov. Gary Johnson offers that alternative. I have gotten to know Governor Johnson over the past several months, I am convinced that he is a capable and proven leader. His message deserves to be heard, and as a fellow former governor, I have tremendous respect for his record as a chief executive. He is a leader that many Americans could easily support if only given the opportunity.”

"I'm impressed with Gary Johnson because of his success in two terms as Governor of New Mexico. He demonstrated his ability to govern with extreme opposition. I definitely think he's qualified, if for no other reason than that, to be President of the United States. He's got more experience than Obama ever hoped to have in managing government and governmental affairs. ... He's got a successful track record, and he has the tools he needs to lead." (Source)

"If justice were to prevail and people were to vote for the candidate who best exemplifies the American constitutional values of limited government, free enterprise and private property rights, then Gary Johnson would win in a landslide. Neither Obama nor Romney have much appreciation of, nor even acquaintance with, these values. But, like it or not, Johnson will not likely be our next president. So is not a vote for him a wasted one? Not at all. As long as Johnson’s vote totals are greater than the difference between those garnered by the two “major party” candidates, the Demopublicans, and the Republicrats, the voice of liberty will once again ring throughout the land. Writing in “Ron Paul” on the ballot may well be emotionally satisfying for many people, but these votes are not likely to be counted, and will thus not promote liberty. I therefore call upon all those who favor liberty, free markets and limited government to vote for Gary Johnson and the entire Libertarian Party ticket in November."
