How many Paul Supporters will be voting for Obama?

reply to post by Bakatono


Actually that's a load of BS.

I have seen soooo many people say they'll vote for Obama when RP fails...

People, lots of people, prefer the devil thy know to the devil they don't know... and loads of people feel that if the system can't be completely destroyed by Paul they'd rather protect things like social programs...

And many people, moderates, and independents will DEF vote for O over Santorum, even if they support Paul now... there's less commonality between Santorum and Paul than Paul and Obama. IMO of course.

I do not believe our votes are even counted for the most part. Whoever wins, was already chosen. This has been going on for quite some time. Look at Kentucky in 2004 and the machines that were rigged. On the off chance that I don't have anything better to do, I will go vote and write in Ron Paul, I will vote straight Republican on the congress ballot and then straight Dem on Senate. I prefer Carlin's method though. "You go vote, I will stay home and j**k o*f. Let's see who has something to show for it at the end of the day".

I'm 100% behind Ron Pau, but if he is not on the ballot I will vote for whomever is up against Obama. To all the "I'll write in Paul's name" crew, it's not possible with electronic voting, At least not the ones I've used, and I doubt the absentee ballots are actually counted.

Dont be a baby just because Paul doesn't win i am a big supporter of paul but i will not throw my vote away nor give it to a communist

That's wild....

You all really actually believe you vote your presidents into office-

Kinda spooky

Never said anything about the NWO? I don't know why you would bring that up. I don't believe in the NWO in the conspiracy sense. Also there was nothing, but truth in what I said. I said real honest support as in not band wagon support. The majority of GOP constituents don't actually support their candidate they just vote for him.

Anyone with half a brain knows this, but laugh on.

Not really. I believe that there is some legitimacy to the actually voting. Votes are cast and they are counted, but if the vote doesn't go towards the vested interest they start making their magic.That is why Ron Paul is so interesting to us because clearly he is not supposed to go as far as he has and his support is detested by the corporation.

Lucky for you there's no communists running for President.

My Ron Paul vote will never go to anyone else. Obama??? Really??? What a joke. Just like all the other Republican candidates are a joke. Oh yeah, and not voting for a candidate just because they are the nominated
candidate is NOT throwing your vote away. People have a right to abstain if they think none of the candidates would do well for the country, or you can write in the choice you think is best. I mean, really, am I supposed to vote for someone who I think will continue to destroy our country, but maybe they will do it at a little different pace? People, men especially who have become so apathetic and wimpy need to grow some big ones and stand up for OUR country before we go over the cliff while we hold our xbox controllers and watch football! I'm glad all the ATSers get on here and talk about the truth! Hopefully the conversations don't just stay on this website but are being talked about to other people who are totally asleep. Most Ron Paul supporters are awake to government tyranny and will NOT vote for anyone other than Ron Paul. If we had someone else that was as good as he is, we would have more than one option. It's just that no one has the kind of record he does. Voting for Obama would be like committing suicide so you don't get murdered one day. "Well, I guess full scale tyranny is on it's way anyway, so we may as well get it here as fast as possible!!" UGH...

OF all the Ron Paul supporters I know, and I know many. I have never heard ANY say they would vote for Any Liberal candidate. That includes the Republican Liberals on this years ticket. OR Obama.
Those that have mentioned an alternate choice other than Paul, have decided to go third party, write-in, or no vote at all.
I have also heard from Staunch "Republicans", that a vote for Third party, is a vote for Obama. Which is quite a stretch, because if they actually voted for Obama, that would mean they voted twice, and that's illegal...

I made a thread a few months back wherein I confidentially predicted (to much derision) that Obama would be reelected due to the sheer awfulness of the Republican alternatives... this thread makes me more confident than ever in my prediction.

You're probably right. But we've all seen that The Obama presidency is only a few percentage points different from his Democrat and Republican predecessors. Spend lots of money, cater to Big business interests, and bring war upon those that have resources that also ditch the dollar.
Same guy, different suit.

Like I always say, Obama isn't a communist, he's center right... American has never really had a "Liberal" President, much less a Communist or Socialist one...

Did you see the nolan chart published a few weeks ago?
It put credence in what you just said...All the candidates from both Parities were clustered in the same region of the chart. Except Paul..He was a little further towards the conservative side...Unfortunately I can't find the chart at the moment..

i'll be writing in paul's name....again.

In 2008 I voted for RP in the primaries, then Obama in the general, and now will vote again RP primaries and if he is not on the ticket in some way, I will vote Republican (other than if it is Santorum) in the general.

So now you know someone that's voted liberal and was and is a RP fan. I vote for the exercise of it, but I don't think it's going to make me any stronger. The president will be whoever they want it to be.

After being betrayed by Democrats the last time I voted for a Dem (Obamacare) I will never vote for a Democrat again. Ever. If I don't vote for Paul or for the Libertarian candidate... I'll vote for whoever can beat Obama.

The reason most people support Ron paul is because they cAn see past the left right party politics scam. This is how desperate obama people are Already trying to pick up stragglers....

I will not vote for the lesser of two evils! I will write in Ron Paul. This will be the first and probably last time I vote for any Republicrat unless they have a record and a message like Ron Paul.
