No need to vote.

I always wondered why RP didn't run as a third party candidate.
He seems far removed form Republicans.
If the plan actually was beating Obama, why have someone with almost identical policies but is much less personable and likeable than Obama?

Paul said a 3rd party run is too hard to get on the ballots.

Now you're talking.

I'm hoping anyone that is undecided about voting third party, or leaning
toward Gary Johnson - do it.

"A wasted vote is a vote for someone you don't believe in."
"We can make a difference in this election." - Gary Johnson

And, if you were a Paul supporter and believe in libertarian principles, there is no other place
to look than the Libertarian Party Well, a couple, but we are the third largest party and
Paul was OUR Presidential candidate...

Like I said earlier,...everyone has a vote. Waste it if you want to,...it's your right.
You forgot about purposely being ignored by the media. Doesn't surprise me you missed it. I've read your posts, you aren't informed. He never pouted about it either, that's another thing you've got wrong.

It is easy to live by when you consider the shape our country is in, why would I want to join the pack?

..."blew up in your face".......?

Third party supporters are fine. No problem with them. It's the write-in, Ron Paul write-in voters who I fail to understand. They choose to ignore the political process. It's their right and their choice to waste their vote if they so choose. Doesn't make it a rational choice.

Write-in voters accomplish about the same as disgruntled fans standing outside the Super Bowl, whining and holding picket signs because their team got its butt beat in the regular season and didn't make the final cut.

Oh look, another uneducated who instantly thinks that disagreement means anger. Stop projecting.

If you had asked me, "Why so bored", well then, we would have a discussion. Typical of neocons such as yourself to act in the manner you are, though.

As for the rest of it, you have no idea what you're talking about, which is no big surprise considering who you are standing behind.

The only thing I will correct you on in your ridiculous rant is that Paul did not pout. He continues to work from the inside. The only pouting that goes on is by the left and the neo cons...which are, frankly, the same thing.

Do us a favor, sparky, just call yourself a damn liberal and get it over with. It's like pulling off a band-aid. If you stop whining about it, just do it, things will go a lot easier when it's done.

Wrong, what the Paul supporters are doing is showing the powers that be that his anti Federal Reserve stand resonates with the public, and that we are sick and tired of private bankers dictating the financial decisions in this country to their own benefit without regard to the Constitution or the will of the people.
Their vote carries much more weight than that of the 2 party clones that are too stupid to realize that their vote regardless of party, is for the status quo.
