Now how will you vote in Nov

[Endthefednow]

Since all of Ron Paul Delegates where not allowed to vote for him 600+
We now see who the RNC and the New Dictator Mitt is. WhoAre we Ron Paul
Supporters going to vote for? I would like to Write in RON PAUL but will
my vote count? if not then what will?

Will a vote for GARY JOHNSON make a difference?
and can he garner at least 30%? if so what kind of message
would that send to the establishment if any?

Ron Paul. Like the delegates, he is the one I plan to vote for. I'd like to see a big number between the number who bother to vote and the number willing to vote for people on the ballot. Mine is a none of the above, vote of no confidence, if I can't get a group with me to make Ron a certified write in candidate in my state.

I don't want to vote for a candidate I don't want, and that includes GJ.

I said No one but Paul, and I mean No One But Paul!

I said this in another thread, but I'll say it here again:

The Mittens campaign has obviously given up on getting the liberty / Tea Party vote. They're hoping at this point you'll do something like sit at home or vote for Gary Johnson or Ron Paul. Honestly, they lose nothing that way because they always figured that as a group we were lost.

If you want to give the Mittens campaign a kick in the balls, AND more importantly keep the slate open in 2016 for an Amash / Paul or Paul / Amash ticket, everyone needs to vote for Obama. Period. Just look at the numbers: A conservative count of the RP / Liberty faction of the GOP is about 10% nationwide. That means that if as a block we shift to supporting Obama we move the total percentage about 5%. Think about how many swing states can be denied to Romney if there is a 5% swing in the popular vote! As a group, we can pretty much guarantee that Romney will not be elected. Right now, that is my #1 goal. GJ is not going to be president, so it's down to Obama and Romney. I have reasons to want to see Romney lose, even if I don't have any reasons to see Obama win.

Please give this serious consideration.

I wasn't aware of the 'Certified Write In' option. Does anyone know where I can find the information on requirements for Colorado? I was going to 'protest' vote for GJ but if Dr. Paul write ins will be counted in Colorado I would much rather cast a vote for the true liberty loving option, Dr. Ronald Ernest Paul.

 

[RonRules]

I will register Libertarian and write-in Ron Paul. Best of both worlds.

I'm leaning towards this. If it is close in my state, I'll pull the lever for Obama. I cannot risk the neocons prevailing with Romney, even if it means 4 more years of Obama. The State GOP in Georgia is so arrogant and corrupt that if it were possible, I would even take 8 more years of Obama if it meant the Republican leaders had their own asses handed to them at the ballot box.

I wrote in Chuck Baldwin in 2008 and after the Georgia Sec. of State office 'validated' the write-ins, they threw out approximately 1500 of his initial 3000 votes. If I vote for Johnson, it will be more to gauge what Ron Paul's numbers are this year, rather than some unwavering support of Johnson.

The GOP is counting on the fact that they can win without us. If they succeed, it will set the r3volution back more than 100 Obamas.

In CO Ron would have to file an affidavit which I doubt he will, if he would, why not then just take the matching funds and run independent? My calculation is that since they track the number who vote, as well as the number who vote for names on the ballot, the difference between those would be the number who DO care enough to vote, who refuse to vote for someone on the ballot, a vote of no confidence.

But in my state I may be able to get Ron certified as a write in candidate, someone did in 2008. Here only the electors need to file, not the candidate. If others won't file with me (and obviously our central committee GOP can't), then I will just write him in knowing it won't be counted, and point to the number who voted and refused the candidates on the ballot.

To me that is more satisfying than a protest vote for a candidate who doesn't interest me, but people calculate things differently.

Please give this serious consideration.

Yes, please do. And then dismiss the idea as ludicrous. You will not prove ANYTHING to the GOP except, "those Ron Paul people don't belong in this party!" And you will have actively assisted in the election of Obama making you at least partially responsible.

If that's what you want and you'll feel good about your "strategy", then do whatever you feel. But what if your "strategy" blows up in your face? I'm voting for the person I want to be President, so I can sleep at night. So I can tell my son that I didn't contribute to his pain from the government. I'm voting for Ron Paul.

I refuse to vote for a psychopathic murderer. I will not have blood on my hands.

Ron Paul

 

[69360]

GJ

 

[moraha]

Seriously....do you really think that the Ron Paul write ins will be counted? I'd bet my life they'll go straight to the trash.

 

[kahless]

Undecided and may sit this one out.

It's a matter of conscience. Obama's going to win unless the votes are rigged toward Romney.

 

[Sematary]

I am torn. I want to write in Ron but write ins are discarded in Ct. So perhaps I'll vote GJ

 

[Q11Q]

A vote for Ron Paul is the best choice. Why? Because when people ask you who you voted for, you can tell them Ron Paul. This will then provide an opportunity to discuss the issues he represents, the US Constitution, Sound fiscal management, Limited government, and Civil liberties. All four issues are the trademark Ron Paul brand. Sell it, folks!

 

[nobody's_hero]

You will not prove ANYTHING to the GOP except, "those Ron Paul people don't belong in this party!"

Well, let's be fair; they believe that anyway.

How exactly can my "strategy blow up in my face"?

Here's the fact: barring some cataclysmic event, Obama or Romney are going to be POTUS. Neither one of them are worth two shits. However, we have a revolution brewing in the GOP that has a chance to take hold in 2016 or even 2020. If Romney gets elected, that means we have to wait until 2020 to get to the top of the ticket. If Romney loses, and the meme becomes "it was because he screwed over the 'conservative' grassroots' that plays into our hand for 2016 quite well. Not voting for Romney is only half the damage you can inflict on the establishment. Voting for Obama is twice the damage because it leverages your vote against Romney and the establishment. We need to keep the leadership roles empty in order for us to gather our numbers and take over. That's the long game. Voting for GJ or RP might make you feel good, but in the long run it accomplishes nothing.

I think they've been showing us the door all year long.
