Who do you want to be the republican nominee.

[buffalokid777]

We are here so we all want RP, who could we live with if RP doesn't run?

That's a great discussion to have after Ron Paul announces that he won't run. Now it's a waste of time.

[Anti Federalist]

None of the above.

They all stink.

Ron Paul 2012 or bust.

[Dr.3D]

None of the above.

Ron Paul 2012 or bust.

That's the problem I've run across for the past 60 years. Well, except for the last election.

Personally, I don't think RP is gonna go for it (even though I wish he'd give it one more shot), If Rand gets in the senate, we can think about him next cycle.

We need to get Obama out, who can win out of these candidates, or list one you think is better.

[ClayTrainor]

If not Ron Paul than I hope it's the slimiest scumbag of them all to help expose the system for what it is. That would be newt, Rudy or maybe jeb bush.

[Austrian Econ Disciple]

Well...Steve Forbes wouldnt be a horrible choice. But most of those are either pro war traditional conservatives, or neo-cons. I often defend pro-war tradional conservatives(conservatives who are for the war in the interest of national security rather than spreading American exceptionalism). But I defend them because I think we can bring them to our side, not because I would vote for any of them.

So Forbes is about it.

The most likely way that people like Forbes could be brought to the light on the war issue is by simply explaining that we're broke, and cannot afford it, not by a long shot.

Forbes is deficit hawk IIRC.

I've had some success with that line of reasoning, even with the Christian Zionist crowd.

And I bet Forbes would be good at understanding the federal reserve problem.

[libertybrewcity]

Ron Paul or Gary Johnson or both will more than likely run in 2012. So one of them. None of the above.

[libertybrewcity]

Maybe a steve forbes would good for the job. He seems to know how an economy works from a more free market perspective.

None of the above.

No Paul = No Future !
If Ron Paul can't be the republican nominee, then he should run as an independent.
There's no alternative.

[michaelwise]

None of the above. Add Rand Paul to the list.

[Daamien]

If I had to pick from that group, I would choose Steve Forbes. However, I'd probably just write-in Ron Paul.

[Galileo Galilei]

I would not waste my vote. I would vote third party.

[Working Poor]

None of the above.

Ron Paul 2012 or bust.

Steve Forbes! Like it's 1996!

Who are the two that voted for Rudy Giuliani?

[rprprs]

Who are the two that voted for Rudy Giuliani?

Yes, this ^

I want to know... and I want them instantly banned. :p

[dean.engelhardt]

Gary Anderson has my vote if RP does not run. The only other person that deserves consideration in your poll is Forbes.

Forbes last campaign was a one trick pony; flat tax. He avoided all other issues like the plague. He'd have to come up with a better platform to be consider a serious choice in the future.

[dean.engelhardt]

I would not waste my vote. I would vote third party.

Finally someone that knows what a wasted vote means! You are my hero:)

[james1906]

Alvin Greene is also not on the list.

[RonPaulFanInGA]

I would not waste my vote. I would vote third party.

To me, a wasted vote is voting for someone you don't like.

In 2008, McCain and Obama were bad. But the third party candidates: Barr, Baldwin and especially Nader and McKinney were awful too. The argument that one must vote for a third party simply because they're not one of the two major political parties is basically the same insulting argument that you must vote for the Republican/Democrat because they're the only ones who will win.

[t0rnado]

Rudy Guillani. Because he was the mayor of New York when 4/20 happened.

[brenden.b]

I went with Forbes, mostly because is the most tolerable of the group listed and also because the guy is pretty bright. The rest of the list is pretty bad, plus there are some pretty big names missing off of that list...

Besides, I'm with everyone else on RP, 2012 or bust.

[GunnyFreedom]

I couldn't in good conscience vote for any of those listed in this poll.

[pcosmar]

We are here so we all want RP, who could we live with if RP doesn't run?

:confused:
I'll live.
Obama was anointed and imposed.
I live with that.

I could wish for better, but I deal with what is.

your list,,,, :(

[fisharmor]

Where's Johnson?

We haven't had a whole lot of luck with Johnsons as president.

:D

[healthpellets]

no chris christie?

[dean.engelhardt]

We haven't had a whole lot of luck with Johnsons as president.

:D

Haven't had a lot of luck with Obama or Bush either:D

But seriously, the tide is changing. The country is getting to a majority that understands the War on Drugs is completey wrong. Limited govenment is going to have to be debated this next time. I'm not saying a liberty candidate can defeat the neo-con guards to win the nomination, but he will have a voice in 2012.

[Elwar]

If those were my choices, it wouldn't be about which one I would pick.
I would have a new decision on my hands:

-Hong Kong
-New Zealand
-Costa Rica
-Ireland
-Australia
-Remote Island

Hong Kong FTW!

I haven't researched what it would take to actually move there, yet... but I love what I've read about it so far. Freest economy in the world.

[jmdrake]

Why is there no "none of the above" option? I guess Forbes is the "least worst" of those listed. But anyway, if Ron doesn't run, Gary Johnson or Rand will. (My money is on Gary Johnson running).

Perhaps. But I'd forever be worried about saying something that might tick off the Chicoms who are ultimately in charge of the base. I'm much rather go with the Bahamas.

[The Dude]

I could possibly live with Forbes or even Christie. But obviously Ron Paul is ideal, failing that, Gary Johnson would be good too.

[jmdrake]

I would not waste my vote. I would vote third party.

^This. While Forbes seems decent on economic issues, I'd have to find out where he stands on foreign policy. Everyone else on the list would be no better than Bushbama.

[johnrocks]

None on that list; Forbes probably being the closest to one I'd support, if not Ron Paul then Gary Johnson, if not him then I'm either most likely going third party or not voting at all unless someone new comes along that "moves" me.

[ClayTrainor]

Good point. Why Bahamas?
