If Ron Paul does not get the republican nomination, are you going to write him in?

[Vertnut]

probably not

I took the "don't give a fuck anymore" literally.

Sure is a lot of posturing in here. Remember folks, your Texas votes won't matter anyway.

Democrats have 196 electoral votes locked up, and Republicans have 181. So go pester your friends and relatives in Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Florida about it.

BTW, I'm anti-Republican and anti-Democrat because they don't want to solve any actual problems besides getting themselves re-elected. Ron Paul sounds great but c'mon... he ain't gonna win shit.

That's pretty much my point.

I don't think that is clicking with most of them.

15 people exactly as I thought. Rephrase this poll as "If Ron Paul doesn't get the nomination, are you going to vote for Obama?"

don't give a fuck about trying to play a game that can't be won

not against making a statement

and as Danny pointed out, it's an easy statement to make in TX

There's still a chance RP is the nominee. I sense Romney slipping some and RP picking up some. Tomorrow will be more telling. It's always been a "lesser of two evils", since elections began. RP would be another "lesser of two evils", because he's far from perfect, too.

You are right, lets just forget about it and stay home.

Would it change the outcome?

[stevo]

Would it change the outcome?

Does making the statements to others not sway anyone and possibly change their minds on how to vote? Does making that statement not change the way the electoral college votes?

But yeah, you are right, lets just spend the time we normally would spend discussing doing something positive, like discussing Jersey Shore or Dancing With The Stars.

good post.

If they laugh at me for making a statement with my "insignificant" write-in vote, then why will it really matter who I vote for? I am open to voting for the republican candidate, but only if they are worthy. so far, I haven't seen anything to convince me of that. I hate Obama, but I am done being a pawn.

You'll still be a pawn, brother. You might feel like less of one, but as long as we pay taxes that aren't used for what we agree with, we are all pawns.

You're open to voting for the republican candidate...as long as it's Ron Paul.

We can pray. I agree that Ron isn't perfect. That could never be.

With the exception of Obammy winning, what I'd like to see Ron Paul get a million write in votes and then the RNC-selected boy loose by a 1,000. Then, maybe after all of the bullshit that has played out in the media and Ron being ignored, they will realize that they can't just ignore what the people want anymore. That's just me fantasizing, but just maybe it would change things in the future.

What are you guys going to do if RP endorses the nominee (if he's not it) and sincerely asks his followers for their vote?

exactly. if everybody who wanted RP to win voted for him, he might win, he might not... but at least we would know.

but no, people are going to cower in fear of Obama getting voted in again (which is pretty fucking likely anyhow) and vote for somebody they dislike slightly less
