Please, don't "hold your nose" and vote to stop another candidate.

Hold your hand over your heart and write in a Conservative's name.

[lil'bit]

Thanks! I’m standing it! Already voted for FRED in TN

Regardless of who wins, you can work to rejuvenate the conservative movement, or you can bitch about it for four years. Think about it, if you have principles.

[TheThirdRuffian]

Nice.

[papasmurf]

One more FRedhead ping! :)

My favorite line from the Declaration of Independence:

That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government

This sentiment led directly to the Second Amendment to the Constitution.

Thanks.

I started to vote early,But I”ll be voting Fred tomorrow.
Principles you Know

[ejonesie22]

I believe Rush (The rock band, not Limbaugh) put it best in their song “Freewill”

“If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice”.

If Fred or another palatable Conservative is not on the ballot for the Primary, then I choose not to decide among what are bitter offerings. Indeed there is no choice among the candidates on both sides.

And before the “holier than thous” come in with their “sacred right to vote” meme (which actually means vote for my guy), stow it.

I have lost friends and family who fought for the sacred right, and that sacred right I hold so dear that I will not waste it on a vote for the hell of it.

There is a big difference between indifference or just forgetting to vote and making the conscience decision not to enter the booth and just vote because some one says I have to.

Not to say in the general that I won’t pull the lever for Romney, but I will do so reluctantly if it should come to pass.

As far as Huck or McCain in the General, I refuse to be an accomplice in the further destruction of my once great nation.

[papasmurf]

I haven’t thought as far as the general yet. Who knows what can happen between now and then.
For now, though, I’m a write in.

As long as your principles win your conscience will be clear.

FRED FOREVER !

[Politicalmom]

You and I will be tottering in to vote at age 80, and STILL be writing in FRed. :)

[fieldmarshaldj]

I’m 46 1/2 years away from 80, and I doubt that I, or this country (the way it is going) will still be around in 2054. :-\

[Politicalmom]

I’m only a few years older, but I’m an optimist. :)

[The Pack Knight]

I'm strongly considering writing Fred in myself.

As for staying home, there are a lot of marks to be made on that ballot besides under "President of the United States", and I have no interest in leaving them all blank. For the first time in many years, we have some good conservatives running for Governor here in NC, several of whom are already polling strong against the Democrats.

I should hope other FredHeads, as strong federalists, don't ignore their state elections.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Well, I hope for your kids’ sake, they have a country to inherit.

[lkco]

I was happy to find that Fred was on my absentee ballot when it came on Thursday. Otherwise I would have had to write him in. In know in Washington I’m no better than Don Quixote, tilting at windmills. But someone has to. (And my husband voted for Fred too!)

[Bobbisox]

ME TOO! MY Heart is still broken because our Country has lost the opportunity to have a great President. I will be at the Norton, Kansas caucus on February 9th. I will still caucus for FRED. That is my stand. I refuse to back McCain until there is absolutely no choice but him and Hillary. I think everyone is jumping the gun, however, and maybe tomorrow will surprise the critics?
