I guess because I live in Va and it wouldn'tve mattered. But man, looking at these two guys, it's hard not to dream about what could've been.
So why didn't you vote for Ron Paul?

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Re: So why didn't you vote for Ron Paul?
For one... I'm not a Republican, which in Louisiana is the only party (including Libertarian and Green) which doesn't allow independents to vote in their primaries.
I think it's because they hate everyone who isn't a republican. Or maybe because they think that independents in Louisiana are all left over "Longmen," singing "Every man a King." Which, btw, they hate.

Out here in lal-la-land[ss]tm[/ss] we have a write in option on the ballot.
I considered writing in the missus, cuz she knows how to balance a budget, but she's also kinda overly-friendly to animals, so I think I'm going for the constitutionalist.
I'm bugged that he wouldn't ditch the repubs after the disrespect they showed him, though.
Be well. Do good. Keep in touch.

Re: So why didn't you vote for Ron Paul?
I did. It was either him (conscious) or Hillary (sabotage). Looking back, I stand by my vote. RP represents that tiny, forgotten wing of the GOP that I like. It would have been hilarious to have him in the spotlight as the banks crashed and burned. Paulson would be changing his shorts on a regular basis if Paul was leading the polls.I guess because I live in Va and it wouldn'tve mattered.

I voted Hillary in the VA primary precisely to up her numbers enough to prolong the agony of the Dem nomination process. It was pretty well known that Obama would win VA, but a lot of us GOPers hoped we could get a delegate or two more onto her side and muck things up a bit. After all, Johnny had sown things up by then anyway.
Moreover, as a favor to Louis, I voted for Hillary since he, her most ardent champion, was a froggie and couldn't actually pull the lever for her. Its always fun when your goals and a friend's coincide and you can help so easily.

Re: So why didn't you vote for Ron Paul?
You guys? Again?
Virginia is an open primary state. I can vote for either party's nominee. This year, I chose to pad Paul's tally, even though he had no chance at that point. And I'd do it again.
I was thinking about voting Hillary, mainly for the possible comedic value come convention time. But I didn't, since it didn't seem to be a factor when our primary finally rolled around.

Re: So why didn't you vote for Ron Paul?
*Shrug* I just had the impression that if someone on the left mentioned the suspicion that a lot of righties were voting Hillary just to muck up our process, or improve their chances in Nov. as a Republican voter, it would be called hysterical liberal conspiracy theory.
From the right's talk radio and such, it was pretty obviously a tactic a lot of people on the right were using, I'm just surprised you'd speak frankly about it. I do consider it underhanded to intentionally vote for a candidate not because you have any intention of voting for them in the Presidential, but just to hurt an opposing party. Even if it's legal.

Re: So why didn't you vote for Ron Paul?
Well, technically I was doing the same by voting RP. Since I'm not registered Republican, was I sabotaging the GOP nomination process? I knew I wouldn't be voting for the doctor in a presidential election.
