If Ron Paul doesnt run, who would you look at voting for?

[StrictBaptist]

Forgot the poll in the other post....

If Ron Paul doesnt run, who would you support or vote for so we dont get a Mcain, or other neocon moron in office? Any why?

If other please state who and why..

[Zippyjuan]

That would be difficult to say since there is no list of candidates so far.

[RonPaulCult]

Ron Paul is going to run. 100% confirmed.

[CaseyJones]

third party

[wormyguy]

Gary Johnson.

[StrictBaptist]

sry, the poll is up now.... If you say other, please say who and why..

I am doing this for a blog my state tea party has, and want to get opinions from differing boards...I wont use this sites name when I talk about the results from here, unless ya dont mind:):)

[james1906]

Joe Lieberman

[CaseyJones]

voted other the rest suck

[Anti Federalist]

None of those listed, that's for sure.

I'd vote for the "Rent is Too Damn High" guy first.

Gary Johnson possibly.

There is no one on the political stage right now that I would have anywhere near the enthusiasm and energy as I do for Ron Paul.

My jury is still out on Rand.

[Anti Federalist]

Joe Lieberman

TSA Pedo Bear FTW :D

[StrictBaptist]

voted other the rest suck

Exactly!!!! I listed the main 12 from most polls, and threw in a few extras.....Honestly I dont think I am behind anyone as much as I am Paul.

This poll should help us see, why we need Ron to run!!!!!!

[Kludge]

Would probably vote Libertarian so they'd have an easier time with ballot access in their future campaigns.

[oyarde]

ha , ha !!

Rand?!?

[Monarchist]

He is a commie .

Rand. Paul?

[oyarde]

Rand?!?

Rent too high , New Yorker , Jimmy whatever .

[Patrick Henry]

I am a registered republican, so I would vote for the best out of the bunch for the primary. Unless the winner was someone like Gary Johnson, I would probably vote for the constitution or libertarian party candidate in the general.

[Natalie]

[tekkierich]

why would you not list Gary Johnson on that list?

[GunnyFreedom]

LMAO @ poll dominated by "other"

Chuck Baldwin, Gary Johnson. In that order. But it'll be RP12 no matter what.

[Fredom101]

None of the above. :(

[TNforPaul45]

.22 rifle?

[sailingaway]

I'll let you know if he decides not to run.... which I can see happening only if he gets his subcommittee and gets too involved, so to speak.

Meanwhile, you might do better to say 'who of these would you never under any circumstances vote for' because it would help whittle down that list which contains a number of outright gaffaw inspiring candidates.

[BamaAla]

Why no Gary Johnson? I would vote for GJ.

[oyarde]

Well , you have Romney and Newt listed twice ea and Jeb is not running ...

[libertybrewcity]

If you want to vote Republican, you only have two choices so far.

Jon Greenspon and Fred Karger

They are the only two candidates registered with the FEC.

Why do the commies all get the Epic Beard Men though?

:D

I figured .Just for entertainment value they should allow him in somebody's primary debate . I have a pretty nice beard . Reminds me of a story . In 1972 my Dad was running for state rep , his opponent was quoted as saying something like , " never trust a man with a beard " . Dad got a billboard downtown with a picture of himself and one next to it with Santa Claus and put that on the billboard .

Yes .

[Baptist]

I would not cast my vote for anyone on that list. No more lesser of two evils for me. IF I vote in 2012, and those are my options, I will vote 3rd party.

[cswake]

^ Vote None of the Above... for those of you who aren't old enough to know this.

[charrob]

If RP doesn't run, and if Palin wins the GOP ticket in 2012, i will be voting for Obama.

If RP doesn't run, and if anybody other than Palin wins the GOP ticket in 2012, I will be voting 3rd party.

3rd Party Candidates: Have voted for Ralph Nader in every election since 2000. Would also look at someone like a Dennis Kucinich, Paul Craig Roberts or a Lou Dobbs.

[RebelRoss0587]

Romney/Paul would be unbeatable.

[QueenB4Liberty]

None of those listed, that's for sure.

I'd vote for the "Rent is Too Damn High" guy first.

Gary Johnson possibly.

Yeah, except I don't think Rand will run for POTUS.

[Suzu]

If other please state who and why..

Certainly no one on your list! Maybe no one else, either.

[Wesker1982]

no one

[amy31416]

I'd write-in Brandon.

[BuddyRey]

The only Republican politician I would ever vote for besides Ron Paul is Gary Johnson. If not him, I would be compelled by my conscience to vote third-party.

[silentshout]

No one from that list. I'd vote third party if it comes down to a choice between Obama and one of those on the list.

[dealerjim]

Herman Cain or Chuck Baldwin...

[Philhelm]

Ron Paul or bust.

[RonPaulwillWin]

If that's all we got then I'll run myself. Can I get a money bomb?

[low preference guy]

Obama, unless the rep candidate is endorsed by RP (Gary Johnson type candidate).

[Pauls' Revere]

other
because Romney and Gingrich are listed twice.

[trey4sports]

why the fuck isn't Gary Johnson on the list

[BuddyRey]

Two RPF'ers voted for Romney?!?!?!

I know it was you, Fredo...You BROKE MY HEART!!!

http://www.jacknilan.com/imagesofamerica/godfathertimeline/fredo.jpg

[Imperial]

I voted Mitch Daniels, but I would pull the lever for Gary Johnson in a heartbeat too.

[Marenco]

Nobody 2012!

[Fields]

why would you not list Gary Johnson on that list?

+1

[Yieu]

I don't like this poll, I just want to vote for Ron.

[messana]

No Lindsey Graham?

[Cap]

Your list sucks...voted other.

[cindy25]

I would prefer Obama to most of those listed, especially considering the House and probably the senate will be Republican

[Akus]

I am all about dissent, heck I wouldn't be a Ron Paulite if I weren't, but why is there one regarding what we do if RP doesn't run?

I proposed in 2008, after RP quit the campaign immediately after McCain was nominated at the RNC, that we all, ALL, pool our resources and vote Libertarian. I heard a lot of complaining along the lines of Libertarians being dorks with cooties and other equally mature reasoning why not to vote for LP. The result was, we got Obama.

I will not ask individually will you, reader of this, vote for LP or not as your voting choice is none of my business. But I will ask, urge, beg, plead, implore and so on, that, indeed, as a group, we all give our votes to the LP and, if not give them the presidency, then, at the very bare bones least, make them that much stronger as a political body with a set philosophy.

The problem with this, him running in the LP or independent (aside from the staggering inherent bias the voting system is designed for against third party), is that he'll lose his committee appointments, especially after gaining this Fed oversight thing after thirty goddamned years of waiting for it.

Jeb Bush makes your list, but not Gary Johnson or Rand?????? The thread sucks. Rated it terrible.

[Bergie Bergeron]

Gary Johnson.

[Theocrat]

I would vote for Dr. Chuck Baldwin (http://chuckbaldwinlive.com/home/?page_id=6).

[pcosmar]

OTHER
None of those listed. Voted for Chuck last time.

If the GOP pushes another Business as Usual candidate it really won't make any difference. win of lose.
They have proven to me just as Globalist as the D's. No substantial difference.

I am a regular LP voter, but Bob Barr thumbed his nose at Ron Paul's third party candidte debate. That was a disgrace. Add that to Barr's track record as a neo-con, I couldn't bring myself to vote for him.

[Justinjj1]

Definitely none of those clowns on the poll.
Probably Gary Johnson

[Todd]

why would you not list Gary Johnson on that list?

look at the post number and join date and one guess.

[Elwar]

Ron Paul will run.

Gary Johnson will run.

Useless poll is useless.

[armstrong]

other , voted for chuck last time

[cswake]

The poll should be renamed to "Who do you trust to actually limit government when they get into the Office of the President?", and only then do the answers and poll make sense. :)

The LP did not get more support because it was a lesser of 3 evils choice. Bob Barr was a disgusting choice and would have been just a repugnant choice as having voted for Caribou Barbie and the Bomb Iran duo. Dh and I voted Constitution Party last time. If LP wants to have a shot at it they need not run another schmuck like Barr this next round.

[MRoCkEd]

Ron has to run...

But if he didn't, the only other person I could vote for is Gary Johnson.

[Elwar]

If another neo-con is elected this time, it's escape preparation time.

All $ to gold and guns.

The United States will be a place I will be "from".

[txaslftist]

I'd vote for whoever the Libertarians nominate.

[RforRevolution]

GJ.

[cswake]

I'd vote for whoever the Libertarians nominate.

Can't make blanket statements like that... Bob Barr didn't exactly have a liberty voting record when he was in Congress.

^^ this. If they had gone with Renault I would have voted L, or anyone principled, even if I didn't wholly agree with them -- I'd have been making a point about principled parties, and was willing to believe that is what the L party would choose. Barr didn't remotely fit that mold.

They frankly lost a big opportunity with me. Now, I see them as just another 'political' party, which means I take it candidate by candidate, and if there is a candidate I feel POSITIVELY towards who has a real chance of winning, I'd likely go there instead. If I feel negatively about all, that would put me in a different situation. OR if I felt VERY positively towards an L candidate, obviously, that would be different. But to just say 'vote Libertarian' without even knowing the candidate makes no sense to me.

[ronpaulhawaii]

Would probably vote Libertarian so they'd have an easier time with ballot access in their future campaigns.

^That is what I did in 2008...

[Suzu]

Herman Cain or Chuck Baldwin...

I agree on Cain. Why isn't he in this list? He's given a strong hint that he would be running, and he's the closest to Paul that I've seen so far.

http://www.hermancain.com/

[AZ Libertarian]

I'd vote for whoever the Libertarians nominate.

WHOA there! W.A.R. (Wayne Allyn Root) is going to be such a push (especially if the 2012 LP Convention is held in Las Vegas!!!) that I don't see ANYONE at this point with the gravitas to overcome the pragmatists that fell for the Barr Ruse in 2008.

Unless Gary Johnson of New Mexico gets on the ballot, I will stick to my call from 2008:

VOTE RON PAUL - OR NOT AT ALL!

[Batman]

If Ron Paul doesn't run or doesn't get the nomination the only other candidate I might consider is Huckabee.

[jmdrake]

Gary Johnson. But Ron is going to run.

[oyarde]

I voted Mitch Daniels, but I would pull the lever for Gary Johnson in a heartbeat too.

One thing I will say , Thune or Daniels would be a problem for the dems .

[oyarde]

i don't like this poll, i just want to vote for ron.

excellent answer

[johnrocks]

Gary Johnson, maaaaaaybe Rand Paul and that's about it for now.

[Sentient Void]

Those results aren't libertarian enough. ;)

Should be at least 99% other.
