I'm voting for Obama.

But I'd vote for Romney, Gingrich, Paul, Huntsman, Perry, or Cain to play online poker.

F Santorum/Bachmann.

i will only vote for ron paul, and he would never 'kill online poker', because as any rational person can attest to, adult human beings should be able to do as they please without directly harming others, and a skill game played for money easily fits the bill.

couple that with the fact that you can click a mouse and lose a house gambling on -EV horse racing in which the house has a bigger edge than most all casino games, and well you kind of get a good idea of what is going on in this country.

also i don't support the whole murdering civilians thing and lying to the american public

Is anyone on here actually a Republican? Isn't it just libs and libertarians?

Not many social conservatives that could pass the ******ed purity tests or would be willing to sign any of the pledges, but a few solid R's nonetheless. add a moderate and several libertarian leaning fiscal hawks that don't quite buy into all of the L Ron stuff,and yes, we do have some Republicans.


Personally even though I'm a social liberal and identify with many aspects of libertarianism I'm still more of a Republican. It is a little embarrassing though, what with the whole Sarah Palin fiasco, and total dolts like Perry and Cain being frontrunners for a time.

For the sake of argument, lets say you knew for sure that a Repuiblican president would kill online poker and Obama would successfully push for its legalization.

+10,000,000,000,000 (big number so people used to looking at national debt can understand)

Underlying assumption = Obama keeps campaign promise...
So we're in "US hiding Alien Spaceships in the Desert" territory.

Better off not voting at all or voting 3rd party. If you don't want Obama, don't vote for him. Elections aren't supposed to be you settling for someone or choosing whoever you hate the least. Vote for someone you actually want to see in office. Don't not vote because "someone can't win." That is exactly what the establishment wants you to think. Like 25pct of the voting population votes. I ask tons of people why they dont, and they always say "because it doesn't matter." Imagine if another 25pct came out and voted for one guy. He instantly wins.

This is pretty much impossible since the same scumbags that control the government also control the media. Anyone who had even a remote chance of uniting the non-voters would get demonized and **** all over non-stop via TV/internet/newspapers/magazines until they faded from view. (Or not even covered to begin with if it's at all feasible)

If by some miracle this didn't work, then there would be some sort of technicality that would prevent the independent candidate from appearing on the ballot in a handful of key states.

If that looks like it won't work, then it's a sniper's bullet to the head at a campaign rally.

The people that have entrenched themselves in power in this country aren't going give it up merely because the people want something different.

So you are saying it is impossible to escape the status quo? If the things you said would happen actually would, would we not be better off going down fighting than living in this society?

If you answered yes would the reason be your own self interest or would it be that you would change your mind about the candidates relative merits given their stance on this issue.
Considering they're all corporate stooges, if there was ANY issue where they were actually convincingly different that I liked, that would do it for me.

The war stance that's the same as Obama's?
