Can you name more than 2 presidential hopefuls for 2012?
Does your state have a write in option?
I just got my early ballot in the mail and there is a green party and a libertarian party ticket of people I've never heard of before. My state also has a write in option. I'm writing in Ron Paul who got screwed over at the Republican convention.
He made or inherited?
"for him to say he inherited nothing is perhaps the least self-aware comment Mitt Romney uttered at that posh Boca Raton estate.
Did the Mitt Romney who grew up in one of the wealthiest communities in America inherit nothing?
Did the Mitt Romney who attended an elite preparatory school inherit nothing?
Did the Mitt Romney who worked as an intern for his father, the governor of Michigan inherit nothing?
Did the Mitt Romney who never had to borrow a dime to attend Stanford University, Brigham Young University, and, for his joint JD/MBA degree, Harvard University inherit nothing?
Did the Mitt Romney whose father's riches allowed Mitt and his wife to begin having children while they were still undergraduates and not have to worry about dropping out or getting a job to feed the kids, give them medical care, or send them to the schools of their choice inherit nothing?
How much did this head start (not to be confused with Head Start) shape Mitt Romney's adult life? How many Americans can say we've inherited all the nothings Mitt Romney inherited?" - http://www.dailykos.com/story/2012/09/1 … ed-nothing
"Ann Romney discussing their student days:
They were not easy years… Neither one of us had a job, because Mitt had enough of an investment from stock that we could sell off a little at a time.
The stock came from Mitt’s father. ...
That sounds pretty tough, doesn't it? One of them almost had to get a job! Thank god (or dad) for that stock." - http://www.democraticunderground.com/101642137
[i]"And here is his formula for economic growth: just electing him will be enough:
My own view is that if we win on November 6th, there will be a great deal of optimism about the future of this country. We'll see capital come back and we'll see — without actually doing anything — we'll actually get a boost in the economy." - http://andrewsullivan.thedailybeast.com … ugged.html
JSChams is a sham. won't get anywhere with him.
I understand that voting a third party gives the opposition an advantage. It doesn't have to be that way if it was 1 person= 1 vote. Presidential electoral election is a travesty of democracy. I thought I could write in Ron Paul on my Arizona ballot but it wouldn't even count.
But I found out there is only a few states that a Ron Paul write-in vote will count, : AL, IA, WI, PA, CA, VT, NH, DE, RI and MAINE,
In all other states the Ron Paul write in would be a useless vote and besides Romney’s trap is to have people do a write in campaign for Ron Paul which would take votes from Obama. So I'm going to stick with the choices I was given and not write in my namesor Ron Paul's because "none of the above" would be considered a spoiled vote. ( They are never going to count it!)
How about a King of Pirate vote? Where everybody votes for themselves and nobody wins.

Is Ron Paul in alliance with Mitt Romney?
Over the last couple of days a lot of media attention has gone towards a conspiracy theory involving Ron Paul and Mitt Romney banding together. They seem to be pushing it pretty hard which in my mind means that they are trying to paint Ron Paul as a sell-out. What are your thoughts?
