And you have to vote Obama or McCain. And if you choose "shoot me", instead of dying you get shipped to a communist country that hates libertarianism even more than America.

I'd just randomly choose one. No reason to feel guilty when someones forcing you to vote like that, especially if one of the two would have won anyways. So I suppose Obama, meh.

I don't see the "swing vote" scenario happening outside of movies.

I'd vote for the guy who starred in Alf who was caught smoking crack and having sex with a homeless man...

RON PAULL!!!!!!

In what kind of fucked up democracy would a man have a gun to head, confined to pick between three authoritarian states. I tell you what I do, fucking kill that guy holding the gun to my head or die trying.

Obama, so I can show all these useless people how wonderful their failed leader will be. Way to "get involved", kids.

Neither. I would simply attack the guy holding the gun at me. Then, a) I end up dead or b) I get his gun, stop him, and flee, thus joining underground resistance.

I agree with this. Obama will take this country to the end game much faster than McCain I think. :p

Make that a Silver Eagle bullion coin, and you may wait so long you miss the election... :D

I prefer to go sight-seeing in the Communist country. They tend to have the highest rate of happiness, donchaknow? I can be a lazy parasite until the imminent revolution, and then I can be a brave soldier and hopefully get a bronze statue at Stalingrad or something cool like that.

I am afraid that putting a gun to my head would be a step over my personal "line in the sand", and would fall into my "Rules of Engagement".

Actually sounds good to me. Just let me know which way is up and I'll be moving along.

All I know is, if I get shot in the head I expect one of you to YouTube it. I'd hate to be dead without my death ever happening.

No, asking 'if there were a gun to your head' type of question.

And the hypothetical question is different from reality, how exactly? Or do you somehow imagine that a vote for anyone other than the two anointed ones actually matters?

One vote could be the difference between $250,000 saved for the party (as they wouldn't be paying for petitioners for signatures in four years) or $400,000.

Id pull my own gun and defend myself. If I catch one in the dome, so be it. Unless he does put one in my brainbucket, at the very least, Ill be taking him with me, so he wont try that shit on anyone else.

Ok, here's a hypothetical: An asteroid is about to hit Earth. What do you do?
reality: No asteroid is incoming to Earth.

See the difference?

Now, if you plan on voting for the lesser of two evils, then turn in your 'I can think for myself' membership card on your way out. It sounds like you've been indoctrinated.
