I just voted in the Va primary. The ballot looked ridiculous. Two names on this huge ballot card, Mortimer and Crazy. I chose crazy. To add insult to injury the polling place had huge signs that saud write in's not allowed. Talk about in your face....
I would prefer the under vote but it does make sense make sense to try to deny Romney delegates. Reminds me of the questions kids sometimes ask each other, would you rather freeze to death or burn to death or would you rather be hit by the train or jump off this high tressel onto the concrete? Virginians Conservatives have been disrespected and taken for granted by establishment Republicans and left with a choice between Romney and his co-conspirator and I hope you are able to retaliate against some individuals in the future.
Pretty much everything that has happened in the past 3-4 years in American politics has a weird third worldishness to it.
*sigh*
I hate Ron Paul but if I lived in VA that’s exactly who I would vote for today: Ron Paul.
What better way to stick it to the pro-Romney priggish control-freaks who put up the “no write-in votes” sign than to vote for Ron Paul?
Who knows, A Ron Paul win might even inspire a catfight between them.
‘On [that] world, the people are people. The leaders are lizards. The people hate the lizards and the lizards rule the people.’
‘Odd,’ said Arthur, ‘I thought you said it was a democracy?’
‘I did,’ said Ford, ‘It is.’
‘So,’ said Arthur, hoping he wasn’t sounding ridiculously obtuse, ‘why don’t the people get rid of the lizards?’
‘It honestly doesn’t occur to them,’ said Ford. ‘They’ve all got the vote, so they all pretty much assume that the government they’ve voted in more or less approximates to the government they want.’
‘You mean they actually vote for the lizards?’
‘Oh yes,’ said Ford with a shrug, ‘of course.’
‘But,’ said Arthur, going for the big one again, ‘why?’
‘Because if they didn’t vote for a lizard,’ said Ford, ‘the wrong lizard might get in.’
I voted for Paul earlier today.
Based on the turnout .... he just might win this in a landslide :^D
I just did the same thing
Wouldn’t it be great, in a weird way, if Uncle Crazy won in Va?
I would just modify the ballot by crossing out Paul and writing in Newt.
I can’t bring myself to support Paul or Mitt for anything. Not even for dog catcher.
The polling Nazi’s would allow no write ins or alterations. It was POSTED EVERYWHERE on huge signs.
I’d do it anyway. Now that’s a protest. Picking one of the above would be surrendering your vote to their will.
Screw them.
I believe the polling Nazi’s can stop the ballot if it is altered in anty way, except the ovals being filled.
If 5 people “undervote” and Romney wins by 4 votes, then you handed him the win. 5 votes for Paul would change that to a win for Paul. Undervoting helps Romney.
On the Ron Paul forums they seem disappointed that Ron Paul apparently didn’t run one single ad in Virginia. I joined their forum last night to tell them their candidate’s a fraud who’s in this only to help hand establishment golden boy Romney the election. Got “zotted” from their forum shortly thereafter.
Let’s hope voting for Ron Paul isn’t like a gateway drug. Pretty soon you’ll find yourself voting for Ralph Nader and Lyndon LaRouche...
I’d pull the level for Paul today.
Give the GOP establishment something to sleep on.
