SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky is endorsing the Gary Johnson's Libertarian campaign for U.S. Senate in the state of New Mexico.
In a news release Tuesday, Paul shunned the Republican nominee and announced his support for Johnson, a former Republican governor of New Mexico who ran for president as a Libertarian in 2012 and 2016.
Johnson and Paul share an enthusiasm for extremely limited government. Rand calls Johnson a true fiscal conservative and praises his leadership in opposing government overreach.
Johnson backers are pressuring Republican Mick Rich to drop out of the race against incumbent Democrat Sen. Martin Heinrich of Albuquerque.
Rich is a commercial construction contractor and political newcomer. Tuesday is the final day for candidates in New Mexico to withdraw their names from the general election ballot.
Poster Comment:
Integrity over party, excellent.
Gary Johnson has killed a lot less babies, than President Trump has with his HUGE funding for PP, and purchase of Fresh Dead Baby Parts.

Because Gary Johnson was only the Governor of a small population State.
The NM GOP wants a Democrat Senator, and they'll get it unless the certain loser Mick Rich(R) drops out.
Would you vote for Rich to get the dem elected, or vote Johnson for the win?

Is that code for excusing another paultard of splitting non (D) votes?
Fuck you, Hondope. You Paultards do everything you can do to help the Dems, because the truth is, you fucking Paultards hate (R)’s more than you do (D)’s... because LIBERALterians are more LEFT than conservatives.

Judging from the responses thus far, the so-called "conservatives" here would rather see a Democrat than a Libertarian win.

Well done sport.

A vote for the Dem Senator from NM. You like her because she's a homo like Pataki(R), Ruby Giuliani(R) & yukon(Independent, gender-neutral).
