Who's with me? Let's see how many votes he gets from SBR forumites.

Robert is a formidable foe in this race.Comment -
I don't know much about Bob Barr yet (other than his previous policies before his Libertarian awakening). What are his views on the various issues?Comment -

I've been voting 'none of the above' in several of the most recent POTUS elections. I'm very proud to say I haven't voted for the winner since 1988.Comment -
Yeah, go ahead and throw away your vote.
Not like the 2.88 million votes wasted on Ralph Nader in 2000 could have helped change the course of history or anything.

Not that I was really looking for your permission to vote for anyone daggerkobe, but thank you nonetheless. I'd love to stay and chat with you, but the spaceship to carry me back to earth is leaving from Platform 72 and I've got to catch it.Comment -
Throw away? What are the odds that your vote personally will count for anything in the election?Yeah, go ahead and throw away your vote.Comment -
Was talking about Bob Barr voters, actually.Comment -
Trans-Planetary Airways Flight 714 to earth, with stops at Uranus and Jupiter, now boarding at Platform 72. All abooooooooooooard!Comment -

If he has a female running-mate who is a complete dingbat with no qualifications but is vaguely hot in a milfish way, I will consider it.Originally posted by pavyracerComment -

the same people sho said there is no difference between bush and gore now say the same between the neocon war monger and the black fella
the differences may not be huge to the libertariaNS, but they are awfully big to the rest of the universeComment -
I'm a registered Libertarian and I'll vote party line on all offices in November except the Presidential choice. There I have to go with McCain because my biggest political priority is repealing Roe v. Wade and he's the man who can make it happen. I didn't switch over to his camp until the Palin for Veep announcement, though. A pro-life MILF is about the greatest thing in federal politics, and she has my vote for anything.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
so a libertarian who wants more govt intervention into personal choices of the populace
this is a libertarian? you want the govt to be able to tell women what they can and cant do
hmmmm
whats next, telling you no screwing till marriageComment -
I wouldn't be opposed to that either. The government needs to step in on issues of morality, and leave the economy and drugs alone.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
you seriously want the government to legislate morals? i mean, my morals say we should not be in iraq, that we should not have 100k homeless vets, that we should not ignore global warming
whose morals is it you want to be legislated? mine? yours? who decides? a formerly alcoholic cocaine addicted president who started a made up war? how do we decide what is moral and what is not?Comment -
Unbelievable.The government needs to step in on issues of moralityComment -
By voting, I would say. You vote for your morals and I'll vote for my morals. I'm pretty sure pro-life is going to win in November. And when you want to know what is moral, just read the Ten Commandments. No death penalty, no abortion, sha-zam! My morals also say we shouldn't be in Iraq, but let's save those lives that don't have a voice or a choice. (I like that rhyme, I hope McCain or Palin can work it into a speech.)Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
yes, the ten commandments, which also says not to swear
yes, i will live my life by a story concocted 2000 years ago when 95% of the people thought the earth was flat
thats the way i will live my life
it also says dont kill, yet you vote for republicans who started a war which has ended hundreds of thousands of lives
pick and choose your morals i guessComment -
Depends what state you are voting in (and obviously still those odds are tiny), but nevertheless I don't think I could live with myself if I voted libertarian or nader again and the election came down to a few thousands votes in my state and McCain won.Originally posted by donjuan
Colorado is perhaps the most important state this year.Comment -
Iraq is a sham, I agree. But since there is no draft, all of those soldiers volunteered to be part of our corrupt military. So the moral burden is on those soldiers souls, not currently on mine. I'm much more concerned with what goes on within our borders than without. Let me know if they reinstate the draft and I'll vote Democrat on my way to the nearest international airport.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
Lovely. Moral absolutism at its finest. What gives you the right to impose your morals on me so long as what I do does not harm you?And when you want to know what is moral, just read the Ten Commandments.
I'll probably end up voting Obama due to this. If I was still living in California, I would probably vote Libertarian.Depends what state you are voting in (and obviously still those odds are tiny), but nevertheless I don't think I could live with myself if I voted libertarian or nader again and the election came down to a few thousands votes in my state and McCain won.

that i agree with i guessOriginally posted by RogueScholarComment -
I'm going to write in my vote for pavy.Comment -
DJ, do whatever you like, I'm not going to have to answer for it when I die. But I will have to answer for voting for pro-choice politicians, in my opinion. Thus, I try to find the best pro-lifer that I can in each election.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
do you seriously think the president should legislate morality
do you understand how dangerous and short sighted this isComment -
No, but I think the President should appoint a staunch pro-lifer for the next vacancy on the Supreme Court. That's all I need, then dude can take a hike in 4 years and I'll go back to voting for Libertarians for president. And if my dude does get a pro-life majority on the SCOTUS, then he gets a free pass from me on whatever else his agenda entails.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
that would be great for the country
dont worry about any issues but one that doesnt even remoltely impact youComment -
You are a libertarian but you want the gov't to tell women what they can and can't do with their body?
Are you ****ing kidding me?Comment -
he has to be kidding
he is also smoking weed now, which i dont care about, but he is telling us what is and is not moral
i dunno how this is gonna work cause i am quite sure that weed is against some peoples moralsComment -
I'm a libertarian because I want the War on Drugs to end, and I think a flat-tax is the most fair. But since neither of those things is even possible in the next four years, and a Supreme Court justice is likely to retire/die soon, I'll vote on pro-life. I don't have to be a woman to care about unborn lives. Killing other humans is wrong, and killing ones without a voice to cry out about it is the worst.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment -
what about those of us who dont see it as killing , we see it as a womans right to bring about a child or not. you will tell us what we can do. will you pay for the kid once you make us have it?Comment -
Not unless I'm the father. It's the mother's responsibility to keep track of the dude who made the baby, and to raise the kid herself if she can't find him or make him pay. Oh, and just trust me on this one, it's killing. The end result of this is going to be a huge reduction in pre-marital sex, just you watch. Women are going to be classier and we'll have gentlemen walking the streets again. This is the lynchpin to fixing our screwed up society.Originally posted by StraitShooterComment
