Thread: ALIPAC Strategy Proposal, feedback needed

I would certainly support this idea and pass the word.

Out of the three so called Candidates...I can not choose who is the lesser of the three evils. In my estimation any of the three would be a disaster for this country.

This is a very good idea W. They should all know WHY they are not getting our votes.

I love that one.

OH YA. Did you read the post in "Other Topics" about California Farmers and mechanism. Read my post, now that is brains.

Acutally, I think it should be in the News Section too.

I would vote for Lou Dobbs if he helps create jobs for the people in his wife's family's hometown THERE!!! where most of them still live.

I get much of my inspiration from this site!

I lose sleep because of this site!! LOL

I was for keeping this battle in a Republican administration where we've had success before. I now see two parties and three candidates that will end America. I'm going to write in a conservative on election day and support conservatives down the ticket for help in the fight. I really don't see a way to survive any more under our government though.

I would agree with the centralization idea. I think it would be very important to make a clearing house site that shows the similarities of the three candidates and why they are not any different and detrimental in a uniform sense.

One of the problems that always seems to pop up is the filling of the void aspect. I think it is somewhat natural for someone who has been informed as to the negative nature of the 3 choices to want to seek some sort of the information as to what choice is left to be had.

I would say that in a strong presentation of the unified problems with all three candidates, what would have to be equally strong, if not surpass the made argument, is to state why the lesser of two evils argument cannot apply. In other words, the lesser of two evils argument must be absolutely clearly a non-choice, fourth candidate. On par with the evils of the 3.

That would leave the void condition. I personally believe that the only viable candidate would be the candidate a protestor writes in. No specific mention, but a push for a write in in general. Two questions may arise from this off the top of my head...One being: Why? That would be just throwing my vote away? So of course an accompaniment would have to be the protest value of the vote. I think I would head off that question by presenting to the questioner how little their vote counts already in the electoral system. Make a solid comparison how voting in the popular vote really is meaningless in general. Red states basically stay red, blue states blue etc. also supplemented with other electoral college facts vs the popular vote. The argument would be made that a protest vote sends a strong message.

So this leaves a final problem in my opinion. The true value of the protest vote. In general, most campaigns, of many different causes, tend to take the "you can make a difference" approach" which suffers from the same ills alla ctivism suffers from.

[pm'd the rest]

You're welcome.

While I'm truly am not happy with the choices, I will also not let the millions of illegals vote in the Democrats. I will vote for McCain, while holding my nose and hope to see Romney as VP. Remembering McCain is quite old.

Having said that, my reasons are two-fold, first is to keep the dems out and second is the judical nominees.

I think Williams idea is good in that, at least the candidates will know how John Q. Public feels.

WELCOME 93camaro!

Oh, I'll vote- For U.S. Senator, house rep, local and state reps.....
But I simply CANNOT mark a ballot for someone who wants to lead this country further toward Socialism and/or the ideaology of 'globalism', 'free' trade when it costs US so much, borderless unions, and paths to citizenship. Show me a PROTECTIONIST candidate and I'll work night and day to get him/her elected. The interests of THIS country and it's people MUST be first and foremost. We should settle for nothing less.
