We all have free choice though.
Who is telling you that your choices are limited, or holding a gun to your head?
Especially in this country where we tout we have free and fair elections, unlike other countries around the world.
That would be the media playing Psychological games on the American People correct?
where did i say that we dont have a freedom of choice? in fact i DIDNT. i just said that the best and brightest wont subject themselves to the trashing the media will dish out, especially if the media doesnt like the candidate in question. for instance, i think that alan mulally would make a great president, but the media would trash him as being a rich out of touch evil business man, rather much like they are treating romney. and how many former mayors and governors wont seek higher office because of the very same thing? how many people do you know who have indicated that they might want to run for political office, but never do? i know many, and the reason they ALL state is that they dont want to be put under the media microscope.
When the election comes, I want to vote for Ron Paul.
Some friends say he's not in the running anymore. But I know that's not correct... or whatever... whatever it is I know I should be able to vote for him.
But, will I have to do a write-in thingy? Or will his name appear on one of the buttons on the machine? How does it work exactly?
I'll be voting in Bergen County, NJ.
Or possibly Monmouth County, NJ
Practice by standing naked in front of a large box fan on high while drinking all the iced tea you can hold. Await the enevitable.
I'm not sayind it's exactly like a write-in vote but the result is the same.
Exactly...if you don't vote for anyone on the official ballot, it's simply a vote for Obama. Unfortunately, a 3rd party simply splits the vote and gives the incumbent the edge.
It's a given that a "write in" candidate will NOT win. Your vote is wasted.
You are so right but some people will remain happy that they voted with principle and that is all that makes any difference in their lives.
I wanted to tell the OP that in 2008 I wanted to vote for Sarah Palin but had to vote for the old white haired man running with her. That is what I told the election judges, too.
Perhaps not likely, but if people voted for those other than whom the media says to pick from, it would send a message that people are not falling for the same old divide and conquer and the lesser evil games.
It is clear to me, and should be to most American's that both and Obama and Romney will not be serving the best interests of the American People, but the Masters that own them.

With Romney as the next selected president, it will be 4 more years of the same BS
Of course, you noticed how much more of Obama all those companies own than they own of Romney.

I don't care if he won't win, I want to vote for him as a big FU to the republican party, who keep picking RINOs. Ron Paul is the only real republican. I figure if a lot of us vote for him, there's a big chunk voted for him, then at least we'd send the message to the republicans to shape up
last time I was there there was only a machine with buttons, no write-in stuff.
Do I have to ask for the write-in stuff?
Ask for a hand written ballot, or ask the people at your polling place how you write in a candidate.
Should help you with any questions. Not every state lets you write in though. Not sure where you're registered, or what your state laws are.
