FALLING ON PRINCIPLE

[m00]

I'm glad you live in Montreal, it is a perfect place for you and out of concern for others like you I think you should encourage as many of them as possible to move there with you.

Hey, I get to cast an absentee ballot in Georgia OR I get to walk into an embassy. Living abroad doesn't mean I can't vote. Actually if more Americans lived abroad, I think more people would realize how retarded American politics is. No, Obama is not a socialist... he's a corporatist. For example.

But seriously, the only people whose vote actually matters are people who live in Ohio, Florida, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and one or two others.

What I really mean is that people like Melon lube and Moo won't vote for Romney because he isn't Ron Paul, plain and simple really

I've refuted this a number of times. If you want to think that I engage in faith-based politics (like I'm in some sort of Paul cult) go right ahead, if it makes your world simpler.

And actually... let me flip this question around.

You see if Ron paul had won the nomination (no really stop laughing) I'd back him up 100% because he mostly believes in what I believe in.

If Romney cares about my vote, why hasn't he reached out to Ron Paul supporters (lets just say "voters that care a lot about personal freedoms").

It's simple.

Because he either doesn't care about my vote, or doesn't believe in things that I believe in.

So why should I vote for him?

If Ron Paul got the nomination both Moo and Lube would immediately drop them because by their very popularity they would become suspect and could no longer be trusted.

So if Ron Paul was on the Republican ticket you'd not vote for him?

All I ask is for a candidate who sounds serious on personal freedoms, fiscal responsibility, and isn't hell-bent on spending billions of dollars to spread our values to people who have no inclination or ability or adopt them. Oh, and isn't beholden to the captains of shady industries (banking industry, insurance industry, wall-street, for-profit prisons, etc).

Was there someone running that met those conditions?

Funny that sounds like someone who was in the primary, I wonder who?

It's rather simple.

Ron Paul , Gary Johnson , Newt Gingrich didn't make the cut. The election is between Romney & Obama and only 1 can/will win.

Self determination is one of the most sacred rights and as part of that determination is the right to choose our government Representatives.

self determination or self subrogation. A time to choose.

So why should I vote for him?

Because Rand Paul, who is probably closest to what you're looking for, is backing and campaigning for Romney.

But like I told the other guy on here...I prefer that you don't vote for Romney.

[m00]

No because the number one thing to talk about is you know JOBS.

I have a job.

I care about personal freedoms, so I can actually not feel like an assumed criminal walking around the United States as a US citizen.

I want government to leave me alone. I want government to leave my property alone. Unless it has a warrant, that it presents to me when it is served. Does this actually sound like a Romney administration to you?

3 or 4.
