"Freedom" thread or something

So Rombot's got it, you can't stand Obama, the Libertarian Party is still the biggest third in the country and haven't picked their candidate.  Who do you guys favor?

Ron Paul

Republicans will of course try to avoid that since it will definitely kill their boy Obamney. I'm not so sure it would be beneficial to the movement though. 

He'd be defeating his own cause by going third party.  He knows, from past experience, that third party runs, in this country, are DOA and that his movement has to take place within the "two" party system.  I will say that while most of us will still write-in Dr. Paul, in November, we need to make sure that we verbally support Gary Johnson if polled.  He needs to get at least 15% in national polls for a position on the debate stage. 

Here's Johnson's recent appearance on Colbert (still dislike Colbert, btw):

Writing in Ron Paul

Also not gunna answer a hypothetical because there's no point. No more compromising, or voting to "win". From now on I'm writing in my candidate regardless.


I wish I did back in 08. I liked Obama, and he was pretty close to me but ideally I liked Dennis Kucinich and Russ Feingold more, (both did run). If I didn't feel compelled to support the big guy I would've voted Kucinich for the primary and election.

Edit: Paul seems sincere on not running third party and just to put any slim chance to rest, I saw somewhere he said definitively he would not run with Romney if given the opportunity.

There is no second choice. I won't vote.

I thought so, since they were unbound doesn't that mean technically they are not obligated to anyone?
As you said, it's just what we estimate.

Also, since slarti likes comics:

At the same time though, it is a big deal because people will adjust their consumption patterns due to this outrage. The owners of the team need to treat this as a major event or suffer the fallout.

With that said, I agree that people care too much what other morons in the world think. I also think it's tough since he doesn't have the best grasp of English.

My primary criticism of the minimum wage is that cost of living simply goes up, so the money workers earn buys less.
