I keep seeing this. But perhaps those individuals supporting Ron Paul are not the ones causing (or benefiting from) their states taking more than they give.

C'mon you guys. What happened to 1/3 of you to waste your vote on Obama or Romney? How can you call yourselves a Ron Paul supporter and do something like that ( and don't bring up
Rand Paul)?

Mitt Romney's resume

- Gun bans
- Pro abortion
- Pro gay unions
- Big spending
- Socialized health care
- Belief in global warming
- Support for "cap & tax". Claimed it would be good for business
- Bragging about how much tax payer money they can extract and spend
- Pro stem cell research
- Support for ethanol subsidies


How is that different from Obama's resume?
The diet cola analogy is better than you realize. Nutrasweet is POISON and is in both. Not only does it cause disease but it has ironically a diet STIMULANT so it will cause people trying to lose weight to want to eat more..... just as Obama and Romney do the opposite of what they say.

Ron Paul supporters have a dilemma illustrated by the great satire group "Monty Python's Flying Circus" Do you vote for the Sensible Party, the Silly Party, the Really Silly Party or the Stark Raving Loonie Party.

You know you want to do it. Go ahead and do it. Vote Stark Ravining Loonie Party!

I did not vote in your poll because I was not a Ron Paul supporter, but I have suspicions that a fair amount if not most of that 1/3 are partisan hacks who are lying about being RP supporters in the first place.

It is unfortunate it is not a public poll or we would be able to see a) if this suspicion is the case, and b) who they are.

gary johnson.

a vote for either obama or romney is just a vote for the same failed two-party system we currently suffer.

He does call himself a Progressive Republican.
