BOWLING GREEN Former New Mexico Gov. Gary Johnson the Libertarian Party presidential candidate brought his message of small and out-of-your-business government to Bowling Green today. <\/p>\n
Speaking to 150 or so people gathered at the Cla-Zel Theatre downtown, Mr. Johnson said he was more liberal than President Obama on social issues, more conservative than GOP nominee Mitt Romney on fiscal issues. <\/p>\n
Less government is better government. Keep government out of the bedroom. Dont be making choices for me that I should be making, Mr. Johnson said to avid applause. <\/p>\n
The former Republican said he would eliminate income tax and corporate tax in favor of a more fair consumption tax. He would eliminate the Internal Revenue Service and the Federal Reserve. He advocates legalizing marijuana and same-sex marriage. <\/p>\n
Mr. Johnson dismissed the idea that voting for a third-party candidate means wasting your vote. <\/p>\n
Im hoping to rain on the party, he said. Im hoping to rain on the two-party system. Its over. <\/p>\n
