Truthiness231: I’m a Ron Paul fan here to say: it’s over. McCain is almost certainly the winner, and even if not it won’t be Paul. I’m sure he’s the better man, but it’s still over. Get over the “it’s not over ‘til it’s over” mentality, because it’s a one in a million shot now, making it more likely that Ron Paul is struck by lightening in his lifetime than winning US presidency. :/

And in the end they’re all bought by the same lobbyists representing the guys with the most money, so it doesn’t matter much.

Seiku: Even if he does not win, dont just vote anyone else for the sake of ‘voting’ like so many others insist and do.

“He isnt going to win dont throw your vote, vote for this person instead, theyre actually leading in the polls.”

Its a sad form of reasoning.

Truthiness231: That’s not what I said (your reasoning needs the tuning, btw). Vote for Ron, but it’s a lost cause. I’m opting to save my energy and put it towards making myself financially secure since we’re not getting the man who vowed to take us back to the gold standard (it would be a wise move, but alas it won’t be). That’s what I’m saying.

That or vote for one of the leaders in the race, in hopes to direct the results toward the lesser evil, though regrettably I’m still unsure who that is.

Seiku: I apologise for the misunderstanding, I didnt mean that you were telling us to vote someone else. Its just I (and you can do whatever you like) wouldnt vote or bother voting if it came down to the lesser of two evils. Now unless if another candidate offers something like the example youve given then maybe you could take a chance. Though if theres alot of uncertainty, I’d personaly would probably just stay home.

gibbie513: Why not write in your vote? It still counts and Mickey Mouse won that way.
