untrustworthy‚ criminal in Clinton. What other options do you have? None‚ until you you look at the Libertarian candidate‚ Gary Johnson. I believe that‚ although unlikely‚ he has a chance to win.

Gary Johnson has strong economic stances on the issues facing the American economy. You can see this in this example‚ when

Personally‚ I think Gary would rank as a “Torturing Murderer” because though psychotic‚ he did not typically prolong their torture. Yes‚ he watched them as they suffocated and defiled their bodies but he did not necessarily torture the victims. He was troubled by his sexual attraction to his mother and of his feelings of lust and humiliation.

Another reason why this film is so great‚ is because of the hero premise. I believe this causes the "unsung hero" to resonate with the audience’s feelings. This is shown at the very end of the film after the
