That's a hit piece, pure and simple. Johnson hid Democratic Texas state legislators to shut down a Rick Perry Rubber Stamp legislative session once.
"Texas Eleven
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Texas Eleven were a group of Texas Senate Democrats who fled Texas for Albuquerque, New Mexico for 46 days in 2003 aimed at preventing the passage of controversial redistricting legislation that was intended to benefit Texas Republicans. A group of Texas House representatives, dubbed the Killer Ds, had fled the state earlier that same summer for the same reason.
U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, then a powerful figure in Texas politics, advocated arresting the Texas Eleven, telling reporters that he supported using FBI agents or U.S. Marshals to arrest the runaway Democrats and bring them back to Austin, asserting that redistricting is a matter of federal concern.

Here's a more fair and balanced piece. Don't get me wrong. I will not vote third party, until the election system has been adjusted to allow a third party choice to be more than a spoiler vote. And then I do not see myself voting for a Gary Johnson.
