Hey guys,
Please stop posting these nonsense threads. No one who is seriously onboard with the revolution would vote for either of these people. Come November, please remember that you are voting for PRINCIPLES and not who you think can win or would screw up the most, etc. And please, don't just write in "Ron Paul" (is that even an option with electronic machines?) - those votes are simply not counted, so why waste your gas and time to do that? This reminds me of a thread over at Huck's Army where someone was trying to convince those folks to vote for Paul in the remaining primaries and they all said that they'd just write in Huckabee, even though it wouldn't count because they could never vote for McCain.
Anyway, what we need to do is settle on one of the 2 candidates that we've been discussing - I tend to favor Barr even though he's had a somewhat sketchy past. A relatively high household recognition and being the 3rd largest party in the US, maybe, just maybe the LP will get just a bit more media recognition going into November over the CP (sorry). Obviously there is a low chance of success with either candidate - but if we are able to get them close to 10% then we'll influence the other 2 parties in the future. Much, much better option than voting for McCain or Obama for any reason whatsoever.
So please, stop with the silly nonsense threads.
