5mp Digital Camera: Hands off the Internet: presidential candidate Gary Johnson speaks

Gary Johnson is not a typical Republican. While rivals like Michele Bachmann and Rick Santorum were signing on to a pledge to oppose gay marriage, Gary Johnson put out a press release calling the move "offensive and un-Republican." His campaign didn't mince words: "While the Family Leader pledge covers just about every other so-called virtue they can think of, the one that is conspicuously missing is tolerance."

So why is he in the Republican presidential primary at all? Johnson served as the Republican governor of New Mexico for two terms, from 1995 to 2003. In office, he developed a reputation as a fiscal conservative. He likes to brag that he vetoed 750 bills during his time in office—"about equal to all the combined vetoes of the other 49 Governors in the country at the time." He says that if he is elected president, he would balance the budget by dramatically cutting spending while also cutting taxes.
