Just out of curiosity, who did you vote for last time?

[heavenlyboy34]

I love seeing RP performing well above his '08 totals, and it would be interesting to see how much of that has come from people who didn't vote last time, vs voting for other republican candidates vs democratic candidates. Similarly, I sometimes wonder how people split in the general election as well.

There are no "right" or "wrong" answers. While useful for analysis, the past is the past. It's all about 2012 and we're all in it together!!

My recent past voting:

08 GOP primary: Paul
08 General: Barr

04 General: Badnarik

2008: RP in the primary, Baldwin in the general (thanks to Ron's endorsement-I wouldn't have voted otherwise)

2000 - Bush - Too young to vote but my stepdad had an absentee ballot and let me fill it out because he didn't care and I was interested in politics (meaning I watched the MSM and interned for Sen. Schumer that past Summer even though I was secretly a Republican ).

2004 - Kerry - by that point I knew Kerry was still part of the 'machine,' but I hated Bush and the Patriot Act and the wars.

2008 Primary - Paul (was Independent, registered Republican to vote for him)
2008 General - Didn't vote

2012 - Paul

2000- Harry Browne

That's funny, I forgot my to include my school mock election. In first grade (1988) I voted for Michael Doukakis (only because he had the same first name as me), in 5th grade I voted for George H.W. Bush, that who my parents were supporting and 1992 is when I started to get interested in politics. In 1996 my high school didn't hold a mock election, but I was pushing for Bob Dole.

[ronpaulfollower999]

2000- Too young, but my parents voted Gore (they actually voted in infamous Palm Beach County) so I obviously wanted him to win.

2004- Too young, but I wanted Kerry. End the wars and fix health care, right?

2008- Still too young, but wanted Paul.

2012- My first ever vote will be for Ron Paul in 10 days!

2004-I didn't support either
2008-Primary Paul General-Baldwin
2012-Paul General depends on if he gets nomination or not. If not then voting for Merlin Miller of the American Third Position Party.

I was full blooded establishment. Took me until Obama to realize that infact both parties always carry forward the same agenda every cycle and nothing changes. Fox News used to be the only News network I'd watch due to what I thought was honesty..LOL! Seriously, I repent. Now that we have other sources like facebook, youtube, reddit ect., its alot easier to dig for the truth and find things out. This is why 35 and under are breaking away from the establishment IMO, while the old folks who don't utilize such tools are still decieved.

If Paul doesn't win, we will still have Obama. Then after that some other Republican will win after that in an anger vote. Once he sucks as well, people will finally realize that both party establishments....well....suck. Problem is thats a decade away! We can either do this now and save a decade of pain, or wait 10+ years and get it done. Either way, the people 35 and under are taking a different direction. The establishment is dying, and this is fantastic!

2000 - Gore (I knew right-away from the early debates that Bush would be attacking Iraq). Wished I had voted for Browne.
2004 - Kerry (might have been Cobb..can't remember lol...) IMO Badnarik was WAY too hawkish for a LP candidate.
2008
-Primary: Ron Paul
-General Election: Ralph Nadar (not that I like him that much...just want to have a third party have a strong showing)

 

[av4liberty]
