It's definitely not a secret that I'm a very open support of Ron Paul for President, but I do have a bit of a reputation for being an "aware" Paultard, meaning I understand the fact that Ron Paul has absolutely no chance of becoming President. Ever. 0%.

Which is why I've decided that, because I am unlikely to be working for the Ron Paul campaign on election day (because I have not gotten any phone calls back yet,) that I am just going to suck it up, sell out and endorse Mitt Romney.

I understand he doesn't align with my beliefs very much, and that Gary Johnson would be much more suitable for my beliefs, but I'd much prefer to endorse the candidate that I believe actually has a chance of winning.

I'm not excited or enthusiastic about it, but I will probably end up campaigning for Mitt.

The unique misfortune of the Palestinian refugees is that they are a weapon in what seems to be a permanent war...today, in the Middle East, you get a repeated sinking sensation about the Palestinian refugees: they are only a beginning, not an end. Their function is to hang around and be constantly useful as a goad. The ultimate aim is not such humane small potatoes as repatriating refugees.

Sadly, you are right. I am just going to tell people to vote for Mitt or Johnson. In the meantime, I am putting all my energy into the Adam Hasner campaign.

I have this horrible inability to keep one avatar for more than a week, so this time next week it'll probably be like O-MT or something Tongue

Yeah, I'll probably campaign more for whoever the Republican candidate is for Senate here in PA.


Also, I think this one wins the thread cuz it made me laugh:

Same thing on wars, torture, the TSA, the IRS, the IMF, NAFTA, corporationism, bailouts, the PATRIOT Act, foreign aid to dictators, the Federal Reserve, occupation of other nations, the drug war, assassination/unlawful imprisonment of American citizens, petrodollar warfare, universal health care (see Obamacare, Romneycare). I really don't see the difference, it's the same circus with different clowns.

Yeah, so in essence, it doesn't really matter who wins (or who I endorse.)

Then why endorse? Let alone campaign for anybody?
I mean, obviously however tiny a difference you perceive would be reason enough to vote, but nothing more than that.
