NOBP People - Who Did You Vote For in 2008?

[Carole]

I wrote him in or voted for him in West Virginia. Can't recall which.

I voted in the primary but not in the general.

In VA we have open primaries so they ask you which party's primary you want to vote in when you sign in. I'd thought about it a minute then said "it's a hard decision, I want to vote against candidates in both parties." (You have to understand that I'd been waiting most of 16 years to cast a ballot against Hillary Clinton.) Then I settled on Republican, voted for Paul on a machine, asked about verification (learned the machines are on the "trust me" system) and went home.

You didn't give Palin via a mcain heart attach as an option

 

[tommyzDad]

I voted/ wrote in RP.

 

[opinionatedfool]

I wrote in Ron Paul

Same here.

I wrote him in or voted for him in West Virginia. Can't recall which.

It would have been a write-in since he wasn't on the ballot. And it likely went into the miscellaneous pile of write-ins along with Mickey Mouse and Howard Stern.

 

[pcosmar]

I was intending to Write him in , right up to the point that I sat down with the Ballot.
I ended up voting for Baldwin based on his long support of Ron and Ron's endorsement of him,, and the fact that he was on the ballot.

Now you want to talk speculation of Ron's VP,, Baldwin would be another great choice.

Wrote in R.P.

I voted for Barr because my choices on the ballot were Obama, McCain, and Barr. Write-ins had to qualify for them to count. So I went with the anti two party system vote that people would see the support for.

Not putting down people who wrote in Paul.

But don't forget that it's possible that the other 73% only discovered Dr. Paul since 2008...

It's still inexcusable that they voted for a war pig even if they hadn't heard about Ron Paul then. They're supposed to have this thing called a conscience that should have told them the right thing to do was to not vote for a war pig.

Of course that doesn't mean that they shouldn't be forgiven for their screwup and welcomed to the liberty movement. I've got former Democrats as friends on Facebook.

I disagree that it's "inexcusable." It takes some serious outside-the-box thinking to break free of the media manipulation and brainwashing. It doesn't happen to everyone by a long shot (at least so far..). And those that are fortunate enough to break free don't all do so at the same moment. I voted for John Kerry in 2004, simply to repudiate George W. Bush. But now I realize he would have been just as much a puppet as Bush, if not more so. While it was an incredibly stupid and useless vote, I wouldn't call it inexcusable. I remember before that even thinking that I should trust my government on the "war on terror" because maybe they had good intelligence that we were not privy to for security reasons.
I had watched a lot of Fox News around 2000-2003. But then I began to see that Bush was out of control. I fell for the good cop-bad cop routine. They were both puppets of the evil system and either would have bowed to the wishes of our central bank-warfare model of government.
