Do you honestly think Romney would be as bad as BO has been? If so, how so.
Obama wants to ban guns. Romney actually HAS banned them in Mass.

Obama wants to bring government managed socialist 'health care' to America. Romney actually HAS done that in Mass.

Obama likes to play with the Wall Street boys. Romney IS a Wall Street boy.

Voting principles over party is NEVER throwing away your vote. For example... let's say you have Nero, Caligula, and George Washington running for election. Now, Nero and Caligula are candidates of the two major parties. We all know that as of right now... either Nero or Caligula will win. However, do you vote with a "party" to win??? Or do you vote your principles and therefore vote for George Washington because he truly stands for what you believe in???? Would that vote be "throwing away your vote"??? I don't think so.

Oh... at one time the Republicans were a third party.

Quote:
Those that voted for Ross Perot in 1992 gave the Presidential election to a man where there was an audio tape of him urging Jennifer Flowers, one of the women he had an affair with, to "just keep quiet" telling her that if they didn't talk no one could prove anything.
Nope. Those who voted for Clinton gave the election to him. If everyone voted for the principles that truly made America great... they'd have voted for Ross Perot.

Quote:
It was amazing to me at the time that America would elect someone who it was proven was lying to them before they even voted for him.
Well, they were not enchanted with the Republican candidate and people made them afraid that they'd "throw away their vote" if they didn't vote for either a D or an R.

Quote:
Ross Perot insured that Bill Clinton became President with just 43% of the vote. Not even a majority.
Nope. The American people's stupidity did. If they would have rejected Clinton for principles Clinton wouldn't have won.

As I see it... one can vote Libertarian or vote for "Obamney 2012".

It's called personal responsibility. Is it the GOVERNMENT's job to babysit all these Americans that are so stupid that they'd overdose on drugs like this? Maybe it would be a good thing. Survival of the intelligent.

Romney is not my choice either, but to vote anyone else would hand BO 4 more years. As I heard a caller say this week, these past 3 1/2 years have been "light" BO years because he wants another 4 years. He has lied about everything he promised 4 years ago, and he wants to be a dictator so bad he can't stand not having it. He says while running he doesn't have the power to give amnesty to the illegals and turns around and does it with executive powers. He has gone overboard with that.

Do you honestly think voting for anyone besides Romney will keep BO from winning?

Do you honestly think Romney would be as bad as BO has been? If so, how so.
Vote principle. If the American people are stupid enough to elect Obama again, that's on those who vote for him.

You see... the powers that be are convincing Americans that there really is a difference between these two. There isn't. It's a scam.

Join the Libertarian Revolution.

Losing is not a plan for success...you are just a loser.

Throwing away votes in favor of a loser, just makes you a party to the loser.

Give me a candidate who can compete and I will get behind him, give me a wannabe who can't win and I will give my vote to someone who has a shot.

Re: Be Libertarian with me:

Just changed my registration to Libertarian a couple weeks ago. I like that they oppose the draft. That was my biggest reason. Def. don't agree with all their viewpoints.

So... you'd throw away your principles to "win"? Typical. They have you all caught up in their concocted "Perpetual War". They've locked you in.

If Nero were the Republican candidate, Caligula the Democratic candidate, and George Washington the Libertarian candidate... you'd vote for Nero because you'd judge George Washington a "loser" because he'd most likely not win???

Don't be a drone.

You don't have to agree with all viewpoints in the Libertarian Party. However, it's the only party that is dedicated to re-establishing our Constitutional liberties. Both the Democrats and the Republicans are the power mad parties driving this nation, and our Constitution, into the dust of history. I began seriously looking at the Libertarian Party after I began to realize how much the PATRIOT ACT eviscerated our Constitutional Liberties.

The Republican Party and the Democratic Party are just the right and left hands of tyranny. I'm voting Libertarian because I gave an OATH...
"I, [Christopher Hall], do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion; and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter. So help me God."
That leaves me only ONE choice. The Libertarian Party.
