Republican Nomination for President

[GAVol]

I've seen just as many toe-the-line Repubs on here who look down on anybody who says they're going to vote third-party. You know, the whole "you're wasting your vote" line.

Isn't that an honest philosophical discussion though?

 

[Pepe_Silvia]

I agree. I don't believe everyone on here when they say they are going to vote 3rd party, it's kinda become the "in" thing to say on here lately. The choice is clear, as voters are they ok with 4 more years of Barry?

I can speak only for myself, and there's not a chance in hell that I will vote for Obama or Romney.

If so, then it's also legitimate to debate if voting for the lesser of two evils is completely inane.

What's the point of getting 1% of the vote?

Making a statement!

There isn't much to it. I'll vote for Gary Johnson, unless for some reason he's not on the ballot. If not, I'll stay home or write in Ron Paul. I feel it's about as practical as voting for Romney, or Obama, but I do it out of principal, for whatever that is worth.

Sure it is.

Let's start a write-in campaign for Ted Nugent! Steal some of that Gary Johnson vote!

Will you shove a machine gun up his ass?

Uncle Ted only handles his guns in a safe and responsible way. That's why he'd be such a good President. Oh, and because he's not Romney or Obama.

The Nuge has less value as a person than a pile of excrement.

when he's included on the poll he does much better than that

And he will be on the ballot in all 50. I am pretty much certain at this point he will get more than 1% of the popular vote.

You have a link to a National Poll that includes him? I don't see any on RCP

I posted a couple state polls earlier but not sure where they are now. Very few even include him even though he will be on every voter's ballot.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll - Rasmussen Reports™

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Mitt Romney attracting 47% of the vote, while President Obama earns 46%. Four percent (4%) prefer some other candidate, and four percent (4%) more are undecided.

 

[utvolpj]

I have a hard time with a national poll for Pres that doesn't even mention all the candidates by name.

But still 4%>1%

Id bet if they said Gary Johnson most people would say "Who"?


but hey more power to you guys for sticking it to the man

agreed. Uneducated voters are a real problem in this country

but hey more power to you guys for sticking it to the man

you can marginalize all you want but that's simply not the case. In the past couple of years my views have really changed and I am just no longer willing to settle for "not quite as bad"

More ammo for the Dems to use unfairly against Romney:

170 jobs being sent to China. Romney owns stock thus it is his fault.
