i hate this attitude.
the presidency is the least important position on the ballot.
typical clueless libertarian type.
Write-ins can't win. Noone even pays attenton to them.

You've got your head up your ass if you don't think that Obama/McCain isn't going to win. A write-in vote counts as much as a vote for the LP, CP or the GP.
So while you're being just like the Government in telling people what they should or shouldn't be doing you can kiss my ass too.
LMAO at people voting for Barr or Baldwin.! HAHAHAHAHAHA
Irony is telling a forum of libertarians what to do, or not to do, with their ballot.

How so? I can tell em', but they don't have to list.![]()

The LP has a very good chance of taking 5% this year and receiving convention funding.
Ron isn't registered as a write-in candidate, so your vote will have 0% chance of changing anything. Voting Barr or Baldwin gives you a >0% of real change.
The establishment doesn't give a damn if Ron can take 2-3% of the votes by a write-in campaign...
You don't get it. Its about changing the minds of the people. When the poll workers and the secretaries of state are flooded with write in Ron Paul ballots it will have an effect on the people.
1. They will all talk about it.
2. It will show them that we will not back down and we are persistant.
3. It will show them that they are not alone. People in general like Ron Paul.
Voting for Barr or Baldwin is just doing what you are told by your master! How has that been going for the last 90 years?

1. What if the poll workers and secretaries of state don't count it? What makes them have to count it? Unless you flood the poll workers with unbiased independents nationwide, there is no reason for them to.
Furthermore, even if they do count them, the media will not show the figures. It will just be a pointless vote.
However, if you play along the game, you can win the game. That is exactly what Ron Paul tried to do running as a Republican. A vote, for either Barr or Baldwin, is an anti-establishment vote. And, it does another thing.
Rather than Ron Paul Revolutionaries being a forgotten voting block, we BECOME a swing vote to be discussed and considered. We have to be catered to by politicians, and allows some real consideration of OUR ideals.
Furthermore, by partaking in playing the game, we can start to get involved in the game. The RPR's have become a force in politics, and alongside the Libertarian Party, it means that politicians can be influenced by what we want.
You're assuming a slew of improbable forces working against you.
1) Prove SIGNIFICANT voter fraud is occurring.
2) If many states reject write-in ballots, what will it do?
3) Why is a vote for someone who can not (by LAW) be elected as president because he didn't register taking us farther then voting for a candidate who CAN be elected as president and who's party can receive convention funding if they receive 5% or more this election?
4) If you don't believe your vote counts, why do you continue to insist that writing in Ron Paul will do anything? You might as well stay home and conserve gasoline if you truly believe your vote is worthless.
1 It's NOT voter fraud it's ELECTION fraud. Voters are not the one's stealing the elections
As for proof of election fraud I seen this the other day and its probably all that people need to see to know something is wrong...

2. You don't get it. Let them reject it....thants fine, someone has to first see the ballots to reject them. mission acomplished. No one ever see's a diebold vote!
3. Do you honestly think we are writing him in because we think he will win? LOL Again you don't get it. It's not about anyone "winning" because we can't. No different than Bob Barr somehow winning...it's impossible because the game is rigged.
What we are saying is that we are not playing the game! This is what they do not like. They like for you to pretend you had a voice...You don't stike me as a true Ron paul supporter.

In answer to two, if the poll counters are rejecting the votes, won't they not really even care about what it says. If they have already seen that you wrote in something they don't like, they will dismiss it. Just like we dismiss the fact that a majority of Americans still aren't Ron Paul supporters. We go on anyway.
In answer to three, If Bob Barr or Chuck Baldwin get a substantial amount of votes, that shows that a large amount are fed up with the status quo. Unlike Ron Paul, they are willing to run, want your votes(unlike RP), and have a slate of electors.
Finally, about playing the game. You cannot just ignore reality. The Founding Fathers had to rewrite the Articles of Confederation and make a whole new document, the Constitution, to address the fact that government does have a role in reality. Ron Paul ran with the Republicans rather than the Libertarians because it got his message out there.
The point: If you play the pundits' game right, you can break the game.
Finally, we all know there is election fraud. It is bad; however, that doesn't change anything. Election fraud has ocurred for years. Until we get the majority of people on our side, the election fraud will continue to impede us.
