IT'S ELECTION TIME , UNOFFICIAL POLL ......Vote Here !

[judd]

Don't hold back........tell us why as well.  

[PaulO]

Romney.  Because I believe in the concepts that made America great most importantly among those are self responsibility, self reliance, small government, and equal opportunity.  If you wish to be like europe and most of the world vote for Obama and a creeping toward socialism.  There is a reason we have excelled in the world.  Let's not throw it away for some short term entitlement!

[Rams]

Though not my pre-convention favorite candidate, Romney is the only possible option to rid us of our current leadership and the road to socialism he has us on.  I expect Obumbles to most likely win based on current polling, that makes my vote for more conservative leadership all that more important on House and Senate races.   

[fudgie]

Other. Dont like either so no vote.

[BigAl]

Imagine that 71.4% for a winner not a whiner.

Romney is winning so far.

[f6john]

     Not meant to offend anyone personally but my opinion is, a no vote is an insult to all the Americans who have fought and lost their lives in the defense of our country and it's values. My father, a WW2 Marine vet. taught me this at an early age when I showed indifference in our political system. When will we ever have 2 or more candidates that everyone will find someone that perfectly alines with our own views? What we do have now are two candidates with greatly different views of the direction they want to take us. It demands responsible citizens to take a stand and a position and vote for the candidate that they believe will provide the future we want for our children and grandchildren. JMHO.

Romney

     I meant to also include they they also fought for your right to not vote if you are so inclined. That's also the cost of freedom.

Romney

To be fair, that was my vote, being Canadian I won't be voting.  Sorry, I am unable to change it now,  I added another option so as not to skew the results. 

[..]

Obama turned out to be a wishy washy vacillating, double speaking, pompous, self aggrandising, two faced LIAR backed up by more of the same ilk.

No I didn't vote for him on '08

[wdvalk]

do I really have to explain,I think its plain as day

[JimmyG]

I'm voting for the American guy. I don't like muzzzzlelums or their ideals, I don't like puppet liars, I like our constitution, stuff like that there.

[Patrick]

I don't understand how anyone could not vote !!  This is going to possibly be the most important vote in our lifetime.. Not everyone can like everything about a candidate,, its always been a choice of the lesser of two evils..

[Jabba]

I have decided that I am no longer voting for the lesser of two evils.  And that is ALWAYS our choice.  When we vote for the lesser of two evils, we send the message that we approve of their politics, and frankly, I do not approve of either parties policies, track record, and their cooridinated strangled hold on American politics, and their unwillingness to even allow other parties to even be heard.

I will be voting for Gary Johnson.  The former Rep governor of New Mexico, and a REAL fiscal conservative. Gov Johnson veto'd more wastefull spending bills in his 8 years as Governor of New Mexico than ALL the other 49 governors combined.

Romney and Obama are both more of the same as far as I am concerned.

Jabba

[Pete]

I hope the entire Democrat party implodes and if that also destroys the Republican party - so be it.

The Washington DC playhouse built by the political class needs to be destroyed.

The original premise of Senators and Congress-persons being part time public service positions was correct, NOT full time political crime bosses.

And yes i held my nose when I voted.

[JimmyG]

Jabba, I used to think that as well, and still do in principal, but I don't think splitting the vote by introducing candidates will ever work, except for the guy playing his cards on this tactic.  I used to think that real Americans should send a message to Washington by not showing up at the polls to vote at all, therefor sending a very powerful message. Unfortunately, people won't band together to do that either. Our system has become so corrupt, that I fear we are on the road to destruction because of our own fault. Maybe not individually, but as a collective, we have let the big machine get out of control for to long and it is running away and we can't stop it. How do you shut of a engine that is dieseling?  All I know for sure is we have to stand up for what is right and good and fair. I don't mean to sound self righteous, I'm not, I am not the example to look to, I just know we need to all do what is right, good, and fair.  I just wish politicians would do the same. 

[Hef]

My vote goes to Romney, not to the Muslim with absolutely no previous experence at anything but charming his listeners with his fantasy list of things he would accomplish in his first term. OOPS! I forgot, after he was elected he discovered that George Bush left him such a mess it just wasn't possible for him to accomplish anything. Guess he didn't know the situation we were in when he was making all the promises. Another four years of Obama Hussein and the US as we know it and everything all the brave vets have fought for will be over. It's amazing this man who lies everytime he opens his mouth would dare call Romney a BS'er. I agree with a previous statement in this blog, this is the most important election we will go through in our generation. Four Americans pleas for protection were ignored so that Obama would not have a crisis before the election. Obama supporters should ask the families of the four slain Americans what they think of Obama!

[ugelstad]

One term in office and one in prison.

[Six Guns]

RJ, myself and other veterans put ourselves in harms way so that you can have the freedoms that you enjoy today. I wish that you would reconsider and VOTE. Even though you may not vote for the candidate that I am voting for (Romney), you should at least participate in the process. My 2 cents.........

I like your way of thinking Jabba,  great minds must think alike? 

[BF]

If you're voting for a third party candidate to express your principles, then you might as well be pulling the lever for Obama.  If you want Obama for four more years, then vote for a third party candidate.  


Vote the Morman....not the Muslim.

[tank_post142]

just remember: this board is populated primarily by old conservative white guys. the results will reflect that and we are not reflective of the US as a whole. Romney.

Hey  ???  I resemble that remark.  

I fully expect this forum's results to reflect the opinions expressed previously and would be surprised if Obumbles gets more than 15% here.  I do not expect that to be the result of the election (unfortunately).

Must-Watch Vid: Still Thinking About Voting for Obama?

And it's like that EVERY year.  Every time... it's the "Most important election of our generation".  Every time... it's better to settle for the guy you dislike less than the other guy.

Obama didn't RUIN the country in 4 years... it'll survive 4 more.  I may not LIKE it as much, but I won't like it as much under Romney probably either.  Presidents can't REALLY do much.  They need CONGRESS to do it.  CONGRESS is where the trouble is.  Those are the guys that need fired.  Frequently and with great malice.  Elect a Rep congress and we should have a giant stalemate, which frankly is the best I can hope for.  

The last time we elected the Reps in 2004, we gave them the POTUS seat, and BOTH houses... and they screwed us.  They promised fiscal convervatism, and they GREW the government.  Are they LESS bad than the dems?  Yes... but they are still bad.  And the problem does not lie with MY attitude.  It lies with the MILLIONS of people that are simply AFRAID to vote Libertarian.  75% of the people, or more, that I talk to share my political views, but vote either Rep or Dem.  It's ridiculous.  Quit listening to them tell you that a 3rd party doesn't have a chance.  It ONLY doesn't have a chance because you keep listening to your party of choice telling you so.  Which keep us where we are, which is where they WANT it.

[Dr Bobs Patient]

Because I have Romnesia!...

And in the last four years I've experienced the worst personal recession of my short 55 years on this big marble ball!  Had tow firsts: a house foreclosure and my 07 GW repo'ed.

The good thing is, I now live in a blue state (SC) and not Maryland, and I learned that I'll never use a loan to pay for another vehicle.  My Valk is bought and paid for with cash!  Try to take that away from me and see how straight I can shoot!

PS: Note to self....make appointment with Dr Bob BEFORE the election!

[old2soon]

When they become"professinal"politicians is when the problems start. We need term limits and as far as a real choice fot the President slot-well see above. In the election that is coming up i believe that Romney-in this instance-is the lesser of the two evils. I just know in my heart we as a nation a"free"country CAN NOT take 4 more years of the stumble bum idiotic ass that is presently in residence at OUR White house in Washington D.C. Why don't we do this-take the prez and vice prez and all members of both houses over to the sand box-find a really hot area-drop em in however they happen to be dressed give them 45 cal pistols one clip each one canteen of water and check up on them a month or two later?? End of problem. RIDE SAFE.

[Stars and Stripes]

I'm with Jabba 

[FLAVALK]

I'm voting Romney because socialism is NOT good for America

[Regis]

I agree with   Jabba , you should stand up for the truth you believe in , not get browbeaten by the majority that says vote for 2nd fiddle because otherwise you "waste" your vote . Its not a waste to be a man and live for what you believe in . We've let this go on for too long . Washington needs a message and I believe guys like Johnson and Paul are getting a message across . Republicans and Democrats have stagnated the political process and there is no "lesser" evil of the two . I believe that Fudgie is well within his rights to not vote if he doesn't have a favorable choice . This country stands for freedoms to do as you choose and a no vote IS a choice . All of these politicians are sickening to watch and listen to ! Obama is way less than "glorious" as his followers like to portray him and regardless of failed policies .Romney is nothing more than another corporate lying SOB that takes peoples retirements , ships job overseas and hides his $ in offshore accounts . Pick your koolaide , insert color here -( ) thats all this poll is asking . Then the conservative majority can bash the list of riders who dared to not kneel at the altar of Romney . Ive voted for the lesser of evils several times and im not looking forward to election day this time but will be sooooo glad when its over and the whining stops . But it wont stop .

[BF]

I voted my principles in the primaries (libertarian). 

Now I'm voting Romney because he's the best chance to stop Obama.

If stopping Obama isn't important to you, then by all means, please vote your principles. 

If saving this country is more important to you, then vote for Romney. 

Romney IS the best chance to stop Obama and the liberal progressive democrats that are hell bent to wreck this country. 

Fringe candidates don't stand a chance in hell to do that. 

But again, if throwing your vote away (IMHO) by voting your principles is more important to you than saving this country, then please stand by your principles and throw your vote away. 

Regardless your principles, just VOTE. 

As RJ says......"that's all I've got to say about that".   

[Fudd]

Vote the Morman....not the Muslim.  

OR..put another way:

Vote the Capitalist......not the Communist.

[Regis]

Or vote for "magic underwear and planet Kolob" or "Allah and 10,000 virgins " what a bunch of whack jobs ! Religious kooks both !

[Chiefy]

Gary Johnson.

[SANDMAN5]

Romney wasn't even on my short list during the primaries....
but I'd seriously consider voting for Attila the Hun if he was
running against Hussein Obama.

Yeah,I agree, great minds do think alike. 

Then there are people that think like ya'll do...





Ok, not trying to start anything, just a wicked thought that crossed my mind when I read this post!!

As far as my vote it will be for Romney/Ryan.

[musclehead]

I thought about puting up a poll like this some time ago. as pointed out this is a predominantly conservative group due to age and education and I thought the results would be overwhelmingly for Romney.

lets hope the results nationwide reflect this forums wishes.

[Patrick]

Oh, I agree with Jabba also.. I like Johnson,, but,, why waste a vote ?? I'm a Rudy guy,, he did a lot with NYC.. I'd vote for him if I could and I would vote for Johnson too if it wouldn't be a wasted vote.. So, to me at least,, its still the lesser of two evils.. However, the more I looked into Romneys past,, the more I liked what I found..

. I've met alot of "educated" corporate people who were dumb as a root ! But what would I know
I'm uneducated. Nice subtle hint though !

[PaulO]

Anyone who thinks there is no difference between Obama and Romney is either delusional, ill-informed or an idiot.  Romney was not my first choice but to say they are the same is ridiculous.  Please educate yourself quickly.  As for you Gary Johnson voters out there - he is a good man but when you are watching your personal wealth dwindle and business fail because of more of this environment, it will only give you pleasure to say you voted for Johnson for about 10 seconds and to the 3 people who will care. Wise up and help the cause. 

[Master Blaster]

Many many reasons, but the latest is Bengazzi, sp, This inept bozo should be impeached, indicted, and do hard time.   I also know that  the good of country comes foremost so it will be for the only person that has a chance of beating BHO.  No mattter if Romney is not the optimal choice, our back is aganst the wall.   We have to get rid of the incumbent.  4 more years is not an option this once great country can recover from.  It has to be the other guy, even if its just kicking the can down the road.  At least it will give us another 4 years to get it right.  Face it, no one can be any worse than what we have now and there is a real danger  the current guy will try to become president for life.  Please dont throw your votes away, who knows, if you vote Romney this time your guy mayhave a chance the next time.  If BHO wins there may not be a next time.
