Mitt is not going to give me every single thing I want. But in my view, it is far better to get a guy who will give me 75% to 80% of what I want. Vs 0% of what i want.

you folks can stand on principle all you want and feel super proud of what you are doing. good for you. I dont even know what it is you want from government.

As for me and my house, Mitt is the good guy and Obama is the bad guy.

That's just it. I don't want ANYTHING from the government. I'm not dependent on the government like most people are, so there is nothing they have that I want. Ever!

Before someone attempts to convince me that not voting for either of the two is a waste of my vote, let me spare you the effort by letting you know up front that I've heard every argument why voting for a third party candidate is actually a vote for either Romney or Obama. It's an argument I disagree with, because I vote on principle and conviction.

I do not vote for the lesser of two evils, because it's still a vote for evil.

Neither of the candidates represent what I believe.



You provide a stiff argument for voting your conscience, accept your still voting for the least of the 3,4 or 5 evils or how ever many are running. There is no perfect candidate. I choose to vote for the lesser of the two evils that have a chance at winning.

But Dante, that is precisely who most in this country do not want. Even back during His walk on earth, the leaders never did. That is why they conspired to kill Him.

Yeah...I think I will write in Jesus Christ too. That's not a wasted vote.

then I would submit to you that not voting for Mitt, will end up giving you more of what you dont want, than voting for Mitt would.... even if Mitt is not going to give you all of what you want.

Re: Voting on Principle

I'm voting for Virgil Goode/Clymer of the Constitution Party.

This is my analysis:

If people vote Goode in their states and get him to 5% then they become a validated party in the state.

If I live in a blue state, Romney will lose period. So if I help Goode, then I have done good work and not compromised my principles.

If I live in a full-on red state, and if I help Goode get to 5% then I have done the same thing and probably wont hurt the GOP either because the machines will make him win anyway. Romney will take Texas, I do him no harm.

And if you are in a swing state where your vote might make the difference between Obama and Romney, then you are on your own. That is between you and God what you should do.

Re: Voting on Principle

Overstock.com CEO, Patrick Byrne on FOX's On The Record with Greta Van Susteren

"Writing in Ron Paul. He's the only one that understands the Constitution and limited government."

I'm afraid the RNC is going to pay for what they did to the Paul supporters during the primaries and what they did to us all at Convention, i.e., squelching any opposing dissent in the future - nazi style.

I personally wouldn't care if Romney turned the economy around. What they did at Convention made me leave the party.
