Why WOULDNT anyone vote for Ron Paul?

I don't know why the F ron paul is. I also don't really care. I'm backing China and Russia. I'm guessing he's neither, so I have no fear.

Please post another one of those pics.

[QUOTE="Vuurk"] Have you ever contributed to a single political thread on gamespot ever? I honestly can't recall a single time. We could make an entire thread about how Vuurk is a c*nt I'm sure you would be much better versed on that discussion than a political one.

Vuurk

Oh I contribute quite often. Your threads just aren't particularly deserving of taking seriously...

Also:

Holy **** it isn't. I am so confused now,,,,

[QUOTE="Vuurk"]And you think you're individual vote will have any effect on the outcome of the election? It won't, so why sell out? =[airshocker

I'm not selling out. I'm a republican first. libertarian-leaning conservative second.

Romney has the best shot at winning, so he's going to get my vote. It's as simple as that.

Why would you vote for the person you thinks going to win,kinda missing the point....

I'm not American, but if I was I most certainly would not for vote for someone who has these 3 characteristics:

Highly principle driven

Unshakeable faith in his principles

A set of principles which include some that are deeply flawed and unworkable in the modern world

This is the same recipe that applies to suicide bombers and cult leaders.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="mingmao3046"]i dont think there is any state that would bring back segregation. anti abortion, probably. gay marriage; well that is a state issue right now. wouldnt change that. so basically you think abortion is more important than our debt, our wars, our currency, etcmingmao3046

I don't think people realize our debt problem cannot be fixed and printing the dollar is only going to worsen the effects of the devaluation/collapse of the currency the brick nations are already starting to move away and trade in gold next up dropping or devaluing the dollar or new reserve currency backed by something.

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="Vuurk"] If you truly believe that then you don't know Ron Paul's ideology at all. -Sun_Tzu-

Unlike the U.S. Senate (all states regardless of size get the same) and President (get's elected by electoral college not directly by people).

So I agree with Ron Paul. Empowering state governments is effectively empowering the people as well.

[QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] There is nothing proportional about state elections. -Sun_Tzu-

[QUOTE="KC_Hokie"][QUOTE="-Sun_Tzu-"] There are virtually no state legislatures that accurately represents the political views of its constituency, because of our widely used first past the post election system.chessmaster1989

[QUOTE="mingmao3046"][QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] Take every federal guideline that was decided by the supreme court in the last half century and turn it back to the states. These include abortion, miranda rights, exclusionary evidence, right to an attorney, death penalty only for murderers and 18+, one man one vote, and ton more. And where did I say i care more about abortion than all of that? :? I was just pointing out his flawed principles. DroidPhysX

[QUOTE="chessmaster1989"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]It is where I live. The state legislature is directly proportionate and new state senate boundaries were drawn based on population. And I should also add at the local and state level we have ballot initiatives and referendums (direct democracy). KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="KC_Hokie"]It takes the issue away from the federal government. There is no federal enforcement or anything in that text. And that power is given to the states or citizens of that state. KC_Hokie

[QUOTE="DroidPhysX"][QUOTE="RandPaul"] It allows the people to have their own laws in regards to a highly debated issue. People that want to make abortion illegal or restrict it don't look at it as restricting rights. They look at it as protecting the rights of the unborn.RandPaul
