Who are You voting for and why? *Official Thread*

I voted to abolish the government because that is what we need to do.

Can anyone give a simple outline of my options besides McObama? Like all 3rd party candidate and basic policies. Thanks.

If it wasn't for what I see people doing now I would vote Barr (limited choices) but we have Ron Paul candidates and people still active planning for the future. I will hold my nose and vote McCain only because he won't change things. Obama will put things in that will be hard to remove. I know what I'm seeing here will make a difference very soon and I think we can take the 2012 election.
 
I'm reluctantly voting for Bob Barr in an attempt to get the LP ballot access in 2010 and 2012...

(I'm sure B.O. will win IL by >10% and become our next POTUS.)

Other than the hope to educate future voters on the value of Liberty and show the 100% fatal folly of government, these elections are pointless. Voters need an option to slash away government by >95%. The GOP is toast! Our country is headed for some very hard times because our Constitution has been ignored for 100+ years! I hope Obama does not make things get worse any faster (war, police state, economic collapse).

I'm voting Baldwin because he earned my vote by campaigning early and often for Dr. Paul and I trust him.

Same here, Chuck Baldwin O8... unlike these Obama and McCain idiots on RPF who are wasting a vote for the lesser evill... Exactly what Ron Paul said not to do! Shame on them, i hope they choke after they vote for those dushabgs! :mad:
 
Here in California Ron Paul is an officially registered write in candidate and votes for him will be counted.

Baldwin is also a write in here in CA. I was gonna go with RP's endorsement until I found out a few days ago that RP write-ins will be counted in CA.

So I get to vote for Ron Paul for President! Yahh baby!!
 
Happily, five votes from our household went to Chuck Baldwin (just like we all voted for Michael Peroutka/Chuck Baldwin on the Constitution Party ticket in '04). With all the people that I'm hearing that have or are voting third-party this election cycle, I'm hoping Chuck will garner enough votes to give the Constitution Party enough of a percentage to start getting included in the next round of debates. Of course, IF he does, the Republicrats will just change the "rules" again and up the ante....:(
 
Well, looks like I'm the first to post a vote for Nadar.

1) Barr made me mad with the press conference.
2) Baldwin just wasn't the candidate for me.
3) Cynthia I could of voted for if Nadar wasn't on the ballot.
 
how and why of my vote for president/vp

I've already voted Libertarian, that is, Barr and Root.

I believe that one more vote for the candidates in the largest of the third parties helps send a message that perhaps we the people are viable and awake, after all, and can influence events.

I could not vote for Baldwin and company, regardless of who in DC thinks I should. I could not get past his inconsistency about reducing the intrusion of government into our lives, except for abortion. Nader had a much more persuasive argument than Baldwin on that matter. Besides, Baldwin did not make it onto my state ballot. If he had followed the example of former president Jimmy Carter who lived his Christian beliefs without touting them. . . .

Lucky me, I had a Libertarian to vote for for the post of governor of my state, too.

No matter who "wins," we probably all lose more than we'd like.

Looks like I get to be the first to say, "Im going to find Ron Paul's name on the ballot and pull the lever"

I live in Louisiana and was partially responsible for the shenanigans that got him on the ballot. =)

It'll be the 3rd time this year I've voted for Ron Paul (caucus, primary, now general).

Bob Barr won't get enough votes in Texas to continue ballot access.

To keep ballot access, the LP has to get 5% in a statewide race (I think its 2% when there is a gubernatorial race).

Not a chance that Barr will get 5% (or even 2%).

The Libertarians will likely maintain ballot access by getting 5% in some oddball race- like railroad commissioner or Supreme Court Justice, in which only one of the major parties has a candidate.

I don't like any of the candidates- McCain/Palin are total neocon douche bags, Obama is a big government liberal, Barr is a neocon in sheeps clothing (and an ass to boot), Baldwin is only a write-in and I don't like the theocratic positions of the CP. Nader is an out and out socialist, and McKinney is, well, McKinney (she's NUTS).

I voted early today. I was going to just make a completely futile, uncounted vote for Ron Paul- but then I remembered the RPF and that EndtheFed and Tones and a couple of others were shilling for John McWar.

So I voted for Obama as an official SCREW YOU to McCain, Palin, Tones, and EndtheFed. First time I've ever voted for a Democrat at any level- and I have Tones and EndtheFed to thank for helping me make this decision :) .

Other than that, I voted mostly for Libertarians (they should maintain ballot access because there was one "unopposed" statewide election), and a few Republicans that I know are decent.

I voted early for Dr. Ron Paul so that I could sleep well at night knowing I did not vote for evil.

Not voting.

Voting is for slaves, it will never bring us more freedom.

We need to realize a voluntary society is the best system for peace and freedom. We will never achieve a peaceful society through monopolized violence.
 
I'm voting for Chuck Baldwin since he actually came out and campaigned for Ron Paul at the March on Washington, the Rally for the Republic, and a number of other events.

I actually like the Libertarian platform more (the CP platform is poorly written and unclear IMO lending a lot of ammo to detractors). However I'm voting for the man, not the party, and I have to say I trust Baldwin over Barr. Every speech I have heard him give seems to come from his heart.

I don't think he's the ideal candidate. But he seems to be the best one running that I can vote for.

i would vote for Ron Paul if he was registered as a write-in. But as it stands, it would not be counted if I did.
