McCain, Obama, Baldwin, Barr, Nader: Who Gets Your Vote?

[FireofLiberty]

I haven't decided between Baldwin and Barr. If the ticket was Barr/Ruwart than that would have sealed the deal that I'd be voting for Barr. I'm not even sure if the Constitution Party is on the ballot here in NC so I may not have a choice.

Writing in Ron Paul is a waste of time. Baldwin is a theocratic nutcase. Bob Barr BTW!

You are basing that on what, exactly?

You obviously have never read any of Baldwin's writings or seen him speak. He understands the seperation of church and state and also is more like Ron Paul than any other candidate. If Paul is the Thomas Jefferson of our day according to Napolitano, then Baldwin would probably be the Aaron Burr of our day.

You sound like MSM and neocons talking about Dr Paul.
Purposely telling lies about someone to influence others.

Anyone who has actually read Chuck Baldwins speeches and writings can see that your statement is a complete fabrication, (my guess would be that its because he is a Christian pastor JMO) Thats the only reason I can think of because his views are almost identical to Dr Paul.

 

[torchbearer]

Ron Paul. Fuck neocon barr.

There is a bigger war going on here.. and the people calling the LP sellouts are shooting their own team.
You want to see how fast this movement self-destructs. Keep it up. You'll get your wish soon enough.

That's what it all boils down to. He is a pastor, and he doesn't approve of homosexuality personlly, therefore he is unfit to serve as president.

It's quite humorous to see people bend over backwards to defend Barr just because he is in the Libertarian Party. I'm sure that he would be getting this much defense if he had an (R) next to his name For over a year now this movement has condemend party over principle, but it appears we may be going to opposite way now.

Umm...Aaron Burr.

No, if Chuck Baldwin was Ron Paul's VP back in the 1800 election, he would've respectfully left the presidential position to Paul. Aaron Burr fought tooth and nail for it.

Plus, Aaron Burr did have a bit of a conspiracy down in the southwest to make an independent state, and always seemed to me the type for power at all costs. Wasn't he who killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel?

Perhaps I am mistaken about all this. He had a good many enemies after all, and his image could have been tarnished in that regard.

However, I do not think Baldwin = Burr.

 

[TurtleBurger]

Ron Paul's my first choice but only if he's on the ballot (no write-in for me). Otherwise I'll go with Baldwin or Barr, whichever seems to have the most traction.

I agree.

These are the likely candidates on the ballot in November.

Who gets your vote?

(Wait For Poll)

DO NOT COUNT OUT HILLARY CLINTON. We are hoping for a Paul delegate revolt. So is Hillary, but she will have 45% of the delegates at their national convention. She is going to take it to the floor and make the delegates decide on electability. She does have a case. She is winning important states and does have the popular vote. I personally think she is a disgusting politician who is planning on socialism. I want her to take it from Obama so we can tap into his young supporters who will be disenfranchised.

 

[kombayn]

^Oh man, that'd be a dream come true for Ralph Nader and John McCain. If she pulls that bullshit, McCain will win the election, the GOP would rally to keep that crazy bitch out of office. I hate the Clintons, they're a bunch of nitwits.

 

[itshappening]

dont see what good writing in Paul is, just vote LP even if you have to hold your nose

 

[Maltheus]

If the libertarians went with someone pure, like a Ruwart, they'd be the rallying point for the movement. But most have us have given up on the Republicans and the Democrats precisely because the have no principles. And the Libertarian party has been going off track for some time now. They're just Republican-light now.

Barr may be a true convert, but he comes across as a bit of an opportunist as are so many vying for the Ron Paul vote. I'm sure he was chosen for his visibility, but I'm not in it for the games anymore. If we're going to sink McCain, I want to do it for the right reasons because we will be blamed down the line for the socialist hell that's coming.

The religious stuff is something I'll have to look more into, but I'm leaning towards Baldwin right now. He seems the closest match to Paul right now. I don't feel like I have to compromise my principles to support him.

Actually I feel the LP is Deomcrat-light. They are for open borders, birthright citizenship, and pro abortion. The Libertarian party has said they don't want to draw Republicans.
I feel as if the Libertarian Party is the new Democrat Party, and the Democrats are now all Green Party Socialists.

Building a wall on the border is a Repblican idea.
Small-l libertarians would not want a wall at the border. The solution is to eliminate the welfare state. No wall necessary. If we want the government to build a wall, it won't be long before they are keeping us IN the country.

 

[Bison]

Baldwin. He fought long and hard for RP. He truly believes in the message and can communicate it with passion. He is a true Patriot.

 

[AlexMerced]

I would love a Barr/Baldwin ticket, but in the end, it'smore practical for movement to vote for Barr. It was never about Ron Paul, it was always about keeping the message where it can be heard. Whether you like Barr or not, a good showing by him, and a bad showing from Mccain will cause a huge second look at Ron Paul.

that's just reality.

 

[JosephTheLibertarian]

Bob Barr

It's not just a vote for Bob Barr .. It's a vote for the LP

You should have made this vote public, I would love to know who voted for John McCain.

 

[mrchubbs]

Plz quit with these stupid ass poles!

Can't you make up your own mind?

Why do you need to survey everyone?

p.s. I assume that everyone who creates these threads
is trying to kill the freedom movement.

First of all, it is "polls". For a second there I thought you were denouncing my Polish ancestors.

My mind has been made up for quite awhile now. I was supportive of Barr the minute I heard he may be seeking the Libertarian nomination. I still support him now, and am happy that he got the nomination. I've been writing about him off and on for the last couple months on Liberty Maven: http://libertymaven.com/ if you need "proof".

The survey was to find out if Barr (among us Ron Paul supporters) has the majority or if Baldwin (or someone else) does. So far it seems Barr is ahead. I'm a bit surprised to see so many write-ins for Ron Paul. In my opinion (and others) doing that accomplishes nothing except maybe a clean conscience. Writing in Ron Paul will do nothing to help spread his message. In doing so you are ignoring Ron Paul's wishes when he says it is more about the message than the man.

As for these "polls" having the power to "kill the freedom movement"... well... thanks for lending the poll infinitely more power than it has... I guess. The "movement" will live or die irrespective of any poll on RPF.

In fact, the power the poll will have will be precisely the same power writing in "Ron Paul" on the ballot will have: nothing.


Enjoy.
