Thread: How did Third Party Candidates do?

  1. #1

    How did Third Party Candidates do?

    Does anyone have links to show how Barr, Baldwin, Nader and McKinney faired?
    The main networks only have numbers on the major candidates.

    I'm not convinced this country really wants change until we have a viable third option.

    It won't take very long to get them home but it won't be overnight either but Iraq says they can't stay and they are coming home just like Trump said.

    Thumbs down

    Too many people chose NOT to vote, which I thought was incredibly pointless, since this year turned out to have a record breaking number of votes.

    In other words: YOUR "NON-VOTES" ARE NOT NOTICED WHEN YOU COULD HAVE VOTED FOR THIRD-PARTY INSTEAD.
    Ron Paul has empowered us with knowledge. Now we must overcome the next hurdle with unity. That is why we must support Bob Barr for president!

    Sorry, validating and legitimizing a corrupt, barbaric and evil tyrannical system in any way just seems to have lost a lot of it's appeal for me.

    You know, you didn't even have to say anything. A simple "HI" would have sufficed while quoting Nate. We all know what you are going to say before hand.

    Barr did about the same as Badnarik did in '04.

    I think it's hilarious that some weak kneed members of the LP decided to completely divide the party and sacrifice almost all of the party's principle and integrity to nominate someone that could barely even outperform Badnarik.

    And if I'd just said a simple, "Hi", YOU'D have freaked out about that too.

    But those "I refuse to vote" non-votes will not be noticed by anyone: not the people, not the politicians, and not the higher-ups.

    So what kind of statement did you really make?

    It was a record number of votes, and the only message they got was that "Wow! More people joined the system!"

    Yet all those non-votes could have at least sent a message as a protest.

    Freak out? Haha you wish, its just amusing pointing out how much of a drone you are.

    Get a life? Kiddo you have over 11 thousand posts that all say the same exact thing. Get the $#@! out of here.

    You want to know what my problem with you is? No you don't, but I'll say it anyways. I actually empathize with your philosophy perspective, its just your mindless irrational spammer behavior which annoys me. The fact that there is a libertarian/anarchist running around out there acting like a looney toon is just too difficult to stomache. You do spend a lot of time trying to convince others of your philosophy, but you seem to be completely oblivious that if you act like a looney toon - its actually counter-productive to your cause. We'd all like to run around shouting "no shepherds!" and "listen to Lew Rockwell" but it would accomplish nothing, and might actually turn people away.

    Thanks for your typical less than worthless post contribution and new additional OFF TOPIC thread bump.

    Wow, after all that $#@! talk defending Barr's compromises and how he's going to get 6% of the vote he couldn't even muster up what Harry Browne got.

    Can we finally declare the Libertarian Party dead???

    You know what Andrew. Your right on. I know this sounds stupid...but I've been real skeptical of just about anybody that joined this forum after the Money bomb in 07. I've noticed alot of these kinds after the Dec 07 time frame. The ones that came here to begin with were looking for a change and many that came later were looking for attention. Just my observation.

    Elaborate. I explained why an absent vote is meaningless and will not be registered during an election with a record number of votes.

    Now, let me hear your rationale, please?

    I did. What part did you miss? Perhaps my answer was just too simple for you.

    I'll try again. WHO CARES?

    You played their corrupt game again and got counted. They got ya.

    Ah, the fringe folks from the Green, Independent, Libertarian and the Constitution party (as well as the anarchist anti-voters) are the only people I know. Ironically, there's a certain solace being completely out of the mainstream...
