Obama has already shown that he will stoop to unethical tactics, so we must presume that he is getting paid-bloggers to masquerade as Ron Paul supporters who are urging others to write in for Ron Paul, so as to effectively help Obama get a 2nd term.
Well, I did say "I wouldn't put it past him." They probably are here. I realize it's like when the cops know who the killer is but they dont have the evidence to arrest.......
Well some may be but not most of them. Look I'm not a Ron Paul supporter but I don't understand why so many oppose Ron Paul supporters voting their conscience.
I wrote in for Ron Paul in 2008, thereby [stupidly] helping Obama get elected. A write-in for Ron Paul is effectively a classic case of "cutting your nose to spite your face." Voting true conscience considers the results and consequences of your actions.
Put it this way, if you're not a big fan of illegal aliens and forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for Planned Parenthood abortions, then rein in your impulse to vote emotionally instead of wisely.
Here's examples why, in case some folks need a reminder comparing the stark differences between Obama and Romney: http://www.sodahead.com/unite...
Ron Paul shouldn't waste his political leverage. And to prevent Ron Paul supporters from wasting their votes by writing in for Paul, Paul should broker a deal with Romney for the Secretary of the Treasury post and power to orchestrate the Romney administration's policy on government spending [a political "plum" I think Paul would find impossible to resist].

And you are entitled to your opinion as they are entitled to cast their vote for the individual they believe best suited for the job. Although I don't agree with their vote I still support their right to vote their conscience. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and perspective.
If being stupid was an impediment to voting intelligently, using your philosophy, I would write in for Allen West, since he's the best possible choice. But I'm also too grounded in reality to not realize such a vote would only help Obama to a 2nd term.
If you had a choice, which would you rather have in the White House, Obama or Romney? And if you're not an illegal alien, or a big fan of them [or think taxpayers should foot the bill for Planned Parenthood abortions], then the the choice is self-evident: https://www.numbersusa.com/co...
Do you honestly think they don't know that a vote for Ron Paul would in essence help President Obama? You have a utilitarian view of how to cast your vote, if you feel that is the best way to spend your vote then more power to you. Some people believe that it is dishonest for them to vote for anyone other than who they believe to be the best choice. Fortunately they have the right to vote for that person.
You know; I’ve heard the same thing before; that a vote for a 3rd party or a write in, is like a vote for the guy you don’t want. A perfect example was Bush 41; enough people voted for Ross Perot, that it did siphon off enough votes from Bush, that Clinton was elected.
But hang on a second, let’s take a closer look. Why was good ol Ross Perot able to pull away enough votes from Bush in the first place; could it be that Bush 41 forgot who he was representing, thereby pissing enough people off that they choose not to vote for him?
Bush 41 screwed up, and screwed up big time, he pushed for NAFTA, even though many of his conservative base was against it, he pushed for the immigration act of 1990 increasing our immigration by 40%, he capitulated to the democrats and raised taxes, he pissed off 80 million gun owners by banning the import of certain semi auto weapons, and he ignored domestic policy allowing unemployment to reach near 8% because “foreign policy was more enjoyable”
So, what was the result; we got 8 years of Clinton. What should have also been the result, well, the Republicans should have looked at it and said, “why was 19% of the population, who normally vote for us, willing to live with a democrat president, instead of our guy?”
But; the Republicans didn’t ask...

But; the Republicans didn’t ask that question, and they still aren’t asking that question, instead they are charging straight forward, trying to shove their golden boy down our throats; and they say things like “anyone but….” Or, “lesser of two evils…” and “Stand behind him, because this is the most important election in our time…”
Well, I CALL BULL SH!T…. For the past 4 elections, I’ve heard the “most important” thing, and I’m sick of it. I will vote for who I think could run our country the absolute best; and if that means we end up with 4 more years of Obama, then oh well, shame on the Republican’s for putting up one of the most Gumby, flip flopping, closet liberal, RINO’s there is.
1. Obama would do anything to win.
2. And this would certainly fall under the "anything goes" category.
