NOBP People - Who Did You Vote For in 2008?

[JJ2]

I voted for McCain in the primary and the general.

Well so far the threat of NOBP doesn't seem to have changed the minds of many GOP voters, so if the goal is to get Paul the nomination it doesn't seem to be working well as of yet. Perhaps that will change with upcoming states.

Nope, you're right.

Which is why it is now more important than ever to carry through.

Just like disciplining a child, the threat of punishment is meaningless if never followed through on.

I certainly hope you aren't selling some GOP kool-aid, "join the team and come on in for the big win" nonsense, are you?

I ended up voting Obama as what I saw to be the lesser of two evils. It purely came down to the war issue for me. Obama's rhetoric about cutting back the troops was nice...but it was just rhetoric.

I won't be doing that again, Ron Paul or write-in.

NOBP is not an idle threat with the goal of getting Paul the nomination.

It is a reality that will happen regardless of whether the media, the GOP, and other candidates' supporters act upon it, let alone even acknowledge it.

This will be my seventh Presidential election and I have always voted third party because I did not like the GOP ticket. I flirted with supporting the ticket in 96 since Kemp was in the VP slot and Buchanan endorsed the ticket, but I was in a bit of an idealism phase thinking Harry Browne could get enough votes to get noticed, so I voted for Browne.

This year, as it stands now, I would only support the GOP ticket if Paul was on it.

Time will tell if it has an effect or not.

I live in North Carolina. I went in and asked the lady if I could vote for someone as a write-in candidate. She told me that I could, but that my vote would not count. I proudly voted for Ron Paul.

 

[nf7mate]

Baldwin. He was my second choice after Paul anyway, so Paul's endorsement didn't matter.

I voted Peroutka in '04.

Great first post, + rep and welcome to RPF!

Indeed it will, but it also already has in some respects as it helped to raise $2 million and awareness as we head towards what looks to be a brokered convention.

I voted for Chuck Baldwin.

I've not regretted it for a moment, unlike ALL of my previous presidential selections going back to 1984.

I will only support the ticket if one the Pauls is on it. I like Rand just as much as Ron. I know some here don't.

Oh, good, glad to hear it.

 

[Moo2400]

I voted for Bob Barr, but in retrospect I should've voted for Chuck Baldwin. Either way, it doesn't seem to make a particularly big difference.

 

[Intoxiklown]

I voted McCain. I am a reformed neo-con converted by Dr. Paul. I've said before, I was one of the people cursing Ron Paul on the tv during those 2008 debates.....=(

But, after the election, I decided to read the sources he kept quoting and referencing, and well...I had egg on my face.

But....I will vote Ron Paul or no one. And only liberty minded candidates in every election from now on.

 

[TimeForChange]

I wrote in Ron Paul in 08, will do it again if I have to this year. Hopefully I can just choose his name on the ballot under the Republican nomination

 

[rjl]

Ron Paul was on the ballot in Louisiana...I voted for Ron Paul.

Same here. Hopefully we'll all get the chance to vote for him the general on the ballot as a Republican. Those of us lucky enough to live in Louisiana have had that experience. It was a good feeling.

 

[jolynna]

I voted for McCain.

I didn't know who Ron Paul was. Much less that he was running for president.

I thought watching the Today show every morning, NBC Nightly News every night and occasionally Fox News and CNN--when nothing else was on--was being "well-informed".

Everything changed after I read the book Boomerang by Michael Lewis.

I thought this all CAN'T be true. Because if it is, the global economy is a powder keg about to be lit. So I started researching all I could find online about the Eurozone, CDSs, investment banking and hedge fund trading. Which led to banking and the Federal Reserve and then to Ron Paul videos on you.tube.

Most people, including me before this summer, DO NOT HAVE A CLUE, that the media is not reporting "just the facts" or that it is "withholding facts". When you have the same friendly anchor people giving coming into your home every day, they feel like family. You think that the segments from experts like Jim Cramer are to "help" viewers make better decisions...not to cheerlead products (like stocks).

I think Ron Paul would win by the most overflowing majority EVER if the media was reporting FACTS not propaganda.

I am a reformed neo-con too.
