Honest Question: If the general election was between Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, and..

[musicmax]

He never voted on foreign policy as Governor of New Mexico and I don't like what he has said about military aid for Israel.

Does your state count write-in votes?

 

[JoshLowry]

Did I offer write-in votes as a solution?

 

[puppetmaster]

write in Dr. Paul....don't care if it "counts",,,,,,not sure if any vote really "counts"

 

[r3volution]

ill write it on the diebold machine in magic marker if i have to .

 

[MelissaCato]

Write-in Ron Paul like I did in 2008.

 

[craezie]

Please don't write in -- as stated 1000 times, it will not be read or counted by anyone, ever. We need to send a message to the GOP for marginalizing us, and that will only happen if a substantial amount of votes are lost to a liberty candidate. Gary Johnson may not be ideal--I personally abhor his stance on baby-killing -- but he at least promotes liberty.

 

[sailingaway]

Lol. That's quite a reason to vote for Obama. Do you realize that Ron Paul always votes AGAINST extending unemployment benefits?

not if he can get the money cut somewhere else. He prioritizes the people over corporate welfare, every time. Look at his Plan to Restore America. In a perfect world he'd set it up differently, but the base of unemployment is a forced insurance plan, as social security is, and he considers that a contract right.

It promotes the idea we would vote for Gary Johnson, which doesn't apply to me. Each person has to make up their own mind, of course.

I would probably follow Ron's lead, but I'd write Ron in rather than vote for Johnson if there were no facts beyond what you state. For me to vote for someone who is going to lose, they have to stand for the things I find important, so voting for them is a statement of what I require in a candidate, and Johnson simply isn't principled enough in my view. His cost benefit approach compromises what I consider to be hard and fast principles.

So you're staying home if it's Obamney vs. GJ?

 

[musicmax]

Because Ron Paul endorsed defacing public property and wants to be associated with same.

 

[JoshLowry]

So you're staying home if it's Obamney vs. GJ?

That's quite a hypothetical. How much money is in GJ's coffers?

I won't support a candidate if I don't know how they will perform. Trust is the bottom line.

Ah shucks....it has to be stated 200,000,000 times to have me think about not writing in RP.....nevermind I will be voting for RP no matter what.

The GOP does not give a rats ass about your message. They have convinced you (and millions others) that there is a difference between party's. It is a divide and conquer tactic and works quite well here in America. DON'T FALL FOR IT

This entire thread is a hypothetical. If you don't deal in hypotheticals, don't participate in this thread.

Bonus fail points for (a) basing your vote on a candidate's campaign warchest; (b) repeating the already-discredited "how will they perform" straw man. If I posted here that "I'm not voting for Ron Paul for President because he has no executive experience" I'd rightfully get thrashed (and not just by the cultists).

 

[JoshLowry]

I was dealing with it as a hypothetical.

How much money is in his coffers?

Can he be trusted on foreign policy? How much does our foreign policy have to do with the economical problems we face today?

Where did I say that he doesn't have executive experience?

 

[sailingaway]

give me any proof that executive experience is a plus.

 

[Jingles]

Gary Johnson has always been my second choice to Paul and he still is. He isn't "perfect". No one perfect, but he would actually address our debt/war/civil liberties issues.

 

[musicmax]

give me any proof that executive experience is a plus.

Uh... that was my point.

 

[sailingaway]

Uh... that was my point.

what I meant was it is a straw argument. Refraining from using one irrelevant argument doesn't make your chosen arguments relevant. There are a LOT of irrelevant arguments to choose from.

 

[tremendoustie]

Please don't do a write-in. Many states don't count them and it won't provide the GOP with evidence of how many voters they lost to 3rd parties by picking Romney. Voting for Johnson will help provide the best wake-up call to the GOP (and I don't even like Johnson that much, he's my third pick for the LP nominee).

This.

 

[John F Kennedy III]

Write in Ron Paul....and mail it to the RNC HQ.
