Who are you voting for..and more importantly..WHY?

I do not want answers based on what you heard on the television. If you haven't done the research on the candidates please do not respond.

Me? I'm voting for Ron Paul because He has never voted to raise taxes.
He has never voted for an unbalanced budget.
He has never voted for a federal restriction on gun ownership.
He has never voted to raise congressional pay.
He has never taken a government-paid junket.
He has never voted to increase the power of the executive branch.

He voted against the Patriot Act.
He voted against regulating the Internet.
He voted against the Iraq war.

I wonder if somebody in the Ron Paul campaign is paid to go around to fora such as ours and blatantly drum up support?

Is Nader running again? If I were a USian and he was running again, I would definitely vote for him.

I am voting for Colbert ,
even if both the Dems and Repubs bann him.. I am going to take a marker and write his name on the ballot.

Why? because I want to send a message to the US political class.

the message is "Fuck you, you all suck". ;)

Poll Fails.. as it does not have the Colbert option.. so I am going to create a fair-better poll.

I wonder this (see my previous post) due to the high number of new members with completely uncritical views of Paul.

Ron Paul, the most Liberatarian of all candidates. Only one who actually is halfway honest with what he wants done.

That and I'm not a complete idiot.

I like Clinton and McCain.

Paul, Biden, Obama and Giuliani to an extent.

You forgot Richardson...who by chance is also who I am voting for.

Why does Ron Paul always get his name fully spelled out. Why don't we just call HIM Paul.

Edit: Actually still undecided between him and Gravel.

They tried that, and when they said that Paul was going to run for President, everyone got excited because they thought it was Paul McCartney. When the Beatles-loving populace discovered the truth, there was such disappointment that Paul's people (Ron, not McCartney) decided to use the full name from then on.
