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

[marm1890]

Baaaa??

Chuck, baby.....cause I'm a RON PAUL SHEEPLE. Ron told me to therefore I will do it. Ron Paul is the most informed member of congress, he knows his stuff, so I trust his endorsement of Chuck Baldwin.

I need to hear some opinions here because I have no idea what to do for next tuesday. I do plan on voting for all new representatives but as far as president I don't know if I should even cast a vote.

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

After a lot of deliberation I decided to vote for Chuck. I think he's the better of the two on understanding our screwed up economy and how to fix it. Plus, I like his tariff idea. That's my big issue so that's who I've decided to vote for

Good choice Only true Ron Paul supporters vote for Baldwin! I am voting today with my wife and cant wait to do it already! Chuck is the closest thing we have to Dr. Paul...

I disagree with that statement, and I am voting for Baldwin. Only true communists give you one choice....

 

[RoyalShock]

Chuck Baldwin.

In no specific order:

- Unwavering support for Ron Paul.

- Ron Paul supports him.

- I like his platform and it's high degree of similarity to Dr. Paul's.

- That he is a pastor gives me some assurance that he is a man of integrity, something no other candidate can offer.

- He understands the dangers of instituting theocratic policies in that it opens the door for any number of faiths to institute their own versions. Bascially, that he believes in religious liberty for everyone.

- I believe that life, spiritually and scientifically, begins at conception and deserves full protection under the law, as does Baldwin.

I will be writing in Ron Paul tommorow. My conscience will be clean as I watch the country fall apart by the hand of McCain or Obama.

 

[tnvoter]

I voted Baldwin. & basically because of his close beliefs alongside of Dr. Paul and to send a message to the GOP to pick a conservative candidate for liberty and free markets next time.

It seems obvious to me that to have any impact on the election, we should try to be as united as possible behind one candidate. Just supposing RP supporters make up 4% of the electorate, we will make no impact by giving 1% to each of the 3 major third parties + Nader. On the other hand, adding 4% to one will raise some eyebrows.

FWIW I'm going with Baldwin unless a majority of us have already united behind one of the others.

I can't read through the whole thread atm. Have we come to a general consensus yet?

Yup. One 1/4th are voting Baldwin, 1/4th are voting Barr, 1/4th are writing in Ron Paul, and the last quarter are voting either McCain, a few Obamas, then some Nader, Green Party, and mickey mouse votes to name a few.

So we are pretty united at being split up.

I'm thinking we might be pleasantly surprised.....we'll see I guess.

Taking votes away from the big 2 counts as impact to me.

Chuck Baldwin

Baldwin. Because he actually will follow the constitution or at least recognize it and try to follow it. Unlike some others our televisions tell us.

 

[JoshLowry]

Obama, just to piss off tonesforjonesbones.

Just kidding!

Natalie is forcing me to vote Baldwin.

 

[LibertyEagle]

Baldwin. Because in a nutshell, he's the closest match to Ron Paul's principles that we have in the race.

Oh no, Josh. Does this mean I'm going to have to vote for McCain in order to nullify your vote for Obama?

 

[MsDoodahs]

Writing in Ron Paul.

 

[paulpwns]

Writing in Nader

 

[AbolishTheGovt]

Will be voting Chuck Baldwin, because he's the only candidate currently in the running who will actually preserve, defend, protect, and uphold the Constitution, which is the very purpose of the Presidency.

Chuck Baldwin

 

[svf]

Illinois here.

Bob Barr for President. To support the LP platform. To "send a message" to the GOP that small gov't libertarians are "off the reservation." To help build an even stronger party capable of running more and BETTER candidates in 2010, 2012, and beyond.

LP for Senate. Green party in other races where only R & Ds are on the ballot. Write-in NOTA when only R & Ds running. NO on retaining all judges. YES on an IL constitutional convention. YES on establishing recall process for elected officials.

Overall I'm disheartened that the RP rEVOLution has fizzled out and we will not see a 10+% Liberty vote at the polls this year. But onward and upward...
