I'm ok with single issue voting.

By that logic, I should support the candidate/politician because said person goes to church every single week and preaches the Lord. Even if said person supports biometric chipping and funding global initiatives. Because, God above all.Originally Posted by unknown
What ever happened to supporting a person because of their over-all positions, and the people defend and protect their own individual rights?
Still seeking permission of government for God/Natural-born Rights I see.
Yeah, that’s what I’m going to do - support a candidate because he/she never missed a single week of church. I’m a single-issue voter! /s

A) Nobody brought up your favorite candidate.
B) You analogy doesn't hold water. If I'm a single issue voter than each time someone violates my single issue I'm going to be against it. And I can have more than one single issue. So, I'm against biometric chipping. Somebody supports that I'm not going to vote for him. Funding global initiatives? That's kind of vague. Is your favorite candidate against funding the U.N.? (I haven't heard him say that).
In 2008 my "single issues" were 1) you had to be against the Iraq war and preferably from the beginning 2) you had to be against the unPatriot Act 3) you had to be against the Department of Homeland inSecurity.
Was I wrong for ruling out any candidate that failed on any one of those 3 issues? I don't think so. You're free to disagree. Now I was a democrat up until 2008. I liked Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Both hit all 3 of my "single issues." What tipped the scale to Ron Paul? Dennis Kucinich was antigun. By that time I was convinced that 9/11 was an inside job. So I thought to myself "If I can't trust the government to not kill innocent Americans, how can I trust it to disarm Americans? And...I have a problem with a politician who can't see that." I STILL like Dennis Kucinich! If Ron had not been running in the primary I would have voted for Dennis. If Dennis had somehow want the Democratic nomination I would have voted for him over McCain in the general election. In 2020 I voted for Democrat Tulsi Gabbard in the primary. Trump had no (real) competition. We'll see how this election cycle plays out.

It's less being a single issue voter, but rather some issues are lines in the sand. The right to free speech, the right to defend oneself, etc.
It is the drop of poison in an otherwise good drink.

Donald Trump / Crenshaw 2024!!!!

Ummm, that's exactly why I'm not jumping on the Kennedy bandwagon you keep rolling through town every day.
He has made some agreeable statements and positions.
But overall, he's still a climate change, ban guns, shut down US energy, increase taxes and government spending liberal.

Exactly.

If a candidate openly campaigned against Red Coat gun confiscations, or even mentioned it (opposing it), I'm guessing that he's probably on the right side of most issues.
Although almost everything else is less crucial.

There's also Tim Scott and Vivek Whatshisname. Scott's bad on Ukraine. I vaguely recall Vivek's bad on something. (I just can't stand Nikki Haley so I won't even count her).Well you’ve got Trump and DeSantis to pick from. Ill be watching from the sidelines seeing how that works out for you.

With a Freedom Index of 68% and a low of 40%, I don't consider Tim Scott eligible for anything. I wouldn't even joke that he belongs on the D side he's that bad.
I know, I know, I'm not at all realistic in my utopia expecting a candidate to have a100%95%90%85%80%75%70%score, so I should just settle for whatever the heck and cross my fingers this country will improve.
As far as Vivek Ramaswamy, aside from knowing if he is actually a NBC [or not] (another thing Americans don't care about anymore), I am 1000% DONE with Pharmaceutical Executives, former or not.
At least we agree on NO to Nikki Haley, I did an On the Record a while back which I should update at some point and time.

I may write in Ron Paul, again, and sleep with a clear conscience that evening.Well you’ve got Trump and DeSantis to pick from. Ill be watching from the sidelines seeing how that works out for you.
“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” - Arnold Toynbee
LOL - Yes, in that we find unanimous consensus.
On Chris Christie and John Bolton as well, I'd reckon.
I wrote an email to Rand today asking him to run.
“Civilizations die from suicide, not by murder.” - Arnold Toynbee
Yep, 100% agree.
The cards are predetermined and fully stacked. I know it's difficult for many folks to accept, but unless they worked the process from start to [almost] finish, they have no clue how stacked it really is.I wrote an email to Rand today asking him to run.
I'm sure I told you this before...
I worked locally, precinct, congressional district, state, up to and including National Convention (yes, I was actually there). The EASY part was getting all of Ron Paul delegates to win. I remember it like it was yesterday: On exit polling, most everybody under the sun voted for Mitt Romney in the primaries. I worked hard to get RP's delegates to win, and they did "hands down". I still have the numbers that were published in the newspapers. The Romney folks were screaming "voter fraud!" "election interfering!" "it was the Democrats/Chinese/Russians!", because NONE of Romney's (or Santorum's or Gingrich's) delegates even-came-close.
Then came the real fraud: slates were changed, rules were changed and/or broken, points of order not recognized and more. Some of it was even done right in front of the cameras, but because we were "assigned" nose-bleed section, it went completely ignored.
I know exactly how the game works. Which is why I no longer vote anymore. I might vote the primaries for RFK Jr delegates just to give him a platform to speak, reaching out to democrats since they won't give the Paul's or Massie the time of day. I want as many people as possible to hear about the corporate corruption and lobbyists in bed with Washington, ways to address climate and pollution using true Free Market solutions, and the other issues he discusses that nobody else is discussing (at least to that degree), etc.
But to write Ron Paul in? I won't give tptb the satisfaction of playing in their sandbox, knowing what I know, that the real cheating is done not at the voting booth "as advertised", but in fact at the highest level. The DNC and RNC are not public meetings - they are PRIVATELY controlled.

Democrats can discuss eliminating the 2nd Amendment all they want. At the end of the day they'll never actually have the balls to go through with it.
