looking for others to unstop your sewer while you remain pure? I’m enthusiastic about this election because of the prospect of getting rid of obama. New York votes still count in the popular vote and he needs to be beaten badly enough to dampen there efforts at challenges etc. but if you believe that your and other libertarian votes are inconsequential, stand firm a revel in your irrevelance.

If it was a regular GOP v DEM election I’d say go for it.

However we DO NOT want a nightmare scenario where Obama gets the popular vote and Romney gets the electoral. We understand how that works and would accept it if it were the other way around but the Obama zombies would absolutely go into smash and burn mode if that were to happen.

Bush v Gore 2000 we still hear how Bush stole the election which we all know is a crock of crap but the libs don’t care. That happens again and there will be blood in the streets, can almost guarantee it.

So even if you’re in a heavy blue or heavy red State cast a Romney vote against Obama cause we have to win both popular and electoral to say without a doubt Obama lost.

That’s a good one.

I was at my son’s football tourney with all of the mothers and fathers and coaches letting our hair down last Saturday and of the 50 some adults gathered there, there was only one who was NOT completely excited to vote for Mitt or against Obama. That one said it was either Johnson or Obama for him. I laughed and laughed and kept telling him what a GREAT idea it was to vote for Johnson. This is Wisconsin and we all live in the SanFran of the Midwest - Madison - where you can expect the lost and befuddled Obama and his minstrel Springsteen will try to energize the vote right to the bitter end. The words used to describe Obama from the crowd couldn’t be printed here.

“Few of us wanted him to be the Republican nominee, and for good reason. This is why I’m voting Libertarian this year.”

Like pissing in a dark pair of wool pants. It’ll feel nice and warm for a while and no one would notice, but after a bit it’ll stink and be real uncomfortable... especially with Obama rubbing his middle finger on his forehead or laying it on the side of his nose while taking the oath. It’ll be cold.

It’s called ‘posturing’. Carry on.

“In return, conservatives in toss up states can hold their noses ............”

Thank you for offering a deal. I had not been aware that this was a hostage/ransom/negotiation situation. I’ll also remind you that we don’t need your permission to hold our noses or do anything else. Thank you for offering it; it’s a magnanimous gesture, no doubt. But we don’t need it now, nor will we ever.

If you think Romney isn’t conservative enough, why do you turn around and vote for Gary Johnson?

Gary Johnson is a libertarian, and by definition, not a conservative. When I was active in Young Americans for Freedom, libertarians were always saying to me, “we are not conservatives, we are libertarians.” Very well, then I won’t support them.

What are you thinking? You and a few like you will WASTE your votes on this third party candidate, why, to prove a point that you WILL not vote for R? To be able to say, I voted for such and such, it’s not my fault?

NO ONE on FR wanted Romney for the repub candidate, NO ONE! He is WAY too similar to bronco on a lot of issues.

He has several major differences though;
1. He doesn’t appear to want to destroy America.
2. He seems much less anti-Christian.
3. He doesn’t appear to want to destroy America.

I could go on but I hope you get the picture. DO NOT WASTE YOUR VOTE! Your candidate just DOESN’T have the votes,(or else we would be here bitchin about your candidate instead of R.), we CAN NOT afford to lose this election. wait until next election to prove your point.

Early this year I Would have voted for the Libertarian or Constitution party candidate cause romney was no where near conservative enough.

As the year went by Considered voting for Romney while wearing a Clothespin on my nose...

Then Benghazi happened and I ENTHUSIASTICALLY pulled the lever for Mitt!

Do it for our Marines and other service memebers who will be ABANDONED should the “won” Obama get another four years!

I live in Connecticut and used to think like you.

But Connecticut is in play this year. So I’m voting Romney.

In New York, does Obama still win if everyone south of White Plains doesn’t vote? Because a week without power will change a LOT of attitudes.

We’re trying to get rid of the pothead in the WH. Why would we want another?

This is why I'm voting Libertarian this year.

Then you are helping Obama get re-elected. Period. There is just no way around it.

Every voter that does not cast a ballot for the only candidate, Mitt Romney, that can actually prevent Hussein from winning another term is effectively giving an assist to Barrack Obama.

Additionally, even though Obama is highly likely to win in New York, doing everything possible to deny Hussein a popular vote victory is very important. Each fewer vote Obama gets makes it more difficult for him to claim a majority of the country is supporting/endorsing his policies.

So basically you’re voting for Obama, which means you condone his job performance these past four years, and look forward to another four years of his reign.

bird,
in the conservative CT-5 open seat, it is NARAL pro-gay GOP Roraback vs. leftist DEM Esty.

the strategy is to get Esty elected and come back with a center-right candidate in ‘14. Cuz Esty is too liberal for that seat to hold it.

Do we vote Esty or do we vote for write-in constitutionalist John Pistone? Tell us the strategy pleeze.

"Joe Biden, at a campaign event today said, 'There's never been a day in the last four years I've been proud to be his vice president.'"

Sorry, couldn't resist. You really want four more years of this???? Really????

Do you seriously think GARY JOHNSON would make a better President than Romney? GARY JOHNSON?! Are you kidding me? Whatever you are smoking, I'm sure it's illegal but part of Johnson's platform. Seriously, there are TWO choices in this election. TWO. Grow up and deal with it. We need EVERY vote we can for ROMNEY, not some guy who could hold his nominating convention in a phone booth. Even if you don't think Romney has a chance in New York, we need as a convicing national win over Obama as possible to give Romney as big of a mandate as possible, and to repudiate Obozo as much as possible.

Don't be "cute" and piss your vote away. Make it count. For all you know New York could be in play. Or New Jersey. Or any other state for that matter.

As conservatives we had our chance to get as conservative of a nominee as possible. We didn't get someone as conservative as we would have liked to oppose Obama, but Romney is what we have. Next time fight harder for someone more conservative if that's what you really want. But this time around it's ROMNEY or OBAMA.

Now go grow a pair and pick one.

I voted early for Goode (Constitution Party). Just changed my tagline to indicate that. But Romney will win my state easily.
