Do you have to be a registered republican to vote in the republican primary?

[spesmilitis]

Anyone know? If so, all you have to do is indicate it when you reregister to vote, right?

It depends on the state if it's a closed or open primary. I just changed my party affiliation to Republican so I could vote for Ron Paul in the closed primary here in California.

Look at this page to see what your state is: http://www.thegreenpapers.com/P08/R-DSVE.phtml

I don't vote. I've got better things to do with my precious time than throwing out my one, meaningless vote that will probably get offset by a dead guy's vote (see Florida's Governor race) anyways, to hire some pompous dousche bag that will have little or no affect on my life.

Coming from the biggest one I know! Hows that for irony kids?!

Yeah...

Well, I'm from california so I guess I have to register republican to vote for Ron Paul.

Why are some states open and others closed?

 

[spesmilitis]

Ron Paul? :crackup: You won't have to worry about closed or open primaries if you're going to vote for Ron Paul. It'll be the same result either way: he won't get the nomination.

Either you don't keep up with current events or you're bush supporter in denial. It is still seems unlikely at this point in time but he has been surging as of lately.

He won the fox news debate. The debate was hosted by fox news, and voters sent their votes to fox news. And Ron Paul won it.

He is also first in Maryland and Alabama in the polls.

Say whatever conspiracy theories you want for the fox news voting. But if Ron Paul's only support is from leftest and family, why was she cheered so enthusiastically at the debate? If you think conspiracy leftest would go as far as to somehow get seats in the fox news debate (I doubt that because of the competition from hardcore republicans wanting to attend the debate), why wasn't any of the other candidated boo'd?

He did well for someone who got laughed at and attacked my the moderators.

lol @ "so you're basically saying that we should take out marching orders from al qaeda".

 

[spesmilitis]

The guy's an Osama bin Laden sympathizer, dude. He's a joke candidate.

LOL

You have PayPal? Care to place a small wager on this?

I don't trust stangers from internet, but I do believe you value your sosuave honor. How about a signature wager?

 

[spesmilitis]

How about this, if Ron Paul becomes a serious canditade (no less than second place in the polls of important states) your sig has to be:

If he gets third place or less, my sig has to be

What do you think?

I see this thread has quickly turned negative...

I'll try to add a positive spin to it.

Lately, I've had a really hard time looking for modern day inspiration. In politics, it's hard finding anyone to look up to that isn't corrupt, and I'm talking from both parties. In sports, our athletes and even refs are in a pool of controversy (Bonds, nba, mlb, etc). There are literally no inspirational figures today. For some time I've been reduced to reading biographies of Ben Franklin and the writings of Thomas Jefferson as my only true sources of inspiration.

I'm glad I found out who Ron Paul is. He's someone who isn't afraid to go against the big corporations and media. He's a politician that really believes in going by the constitution and the advice of our founding fathers. He seriously doesn't care, even if the debate moderators take shots at ridiculing him on his positions!! We need a leader like that, a person who inspires. Even if he loses, he alone has been such a great source of inspiration to me and I'm very thankful for that in a day and age which lacks it.

"I would restore openness to government.
I do not think in this country we should have secrecy of government;
The purpose of government is to provide privacy for the people.
I would never use executive privilege to deny information to the congress."

Brought a tear to my eye when he said that.

Another question. I turn 18 June 2008. I want to vote in the Republican primary in the great state of Florida, I'm pretty sure I'm ineligible, but can I? Maybe there's some loophole.

 

[Obsidian]

Ron Paul's supporters send out mass facebook msgs telling kids to vote for Ron Paul in online polls. It doesn't mean that the majority/plurality of Republicans really think he performed the best in the debate. It's all an act to make him seem more popular than he really is -- so hopefully a few more people will jump on the "bandwagon."

 

[spesmilitis]

Laugh all you want, he's the one that was defending the leader of Al-Qaeda. I personally don't find that all that amusing, but whatever blows your hair back...

Nah. Trust doesn't enter the equation because you have nothing to lose if I don't pay up (which I would gladly do). How about $100? If he gets the nomination, you get $100. If he gets the presidency, I'll fork over another $200. If he doesn't get the nomination, you only have to pay up an even $100.

Like I said, I won't take bets from stangers on net. Let me know if you like the sig idea.

Do you have a vid or transcript of Ron Paul supporting the leader of Al-Qaeda?

You guys can say whatever you want about the fox news poll, but you can't deny the support he got from the audience at the debate.

The guy's an Osama bin Laden sympathizer, dude. He's a joke candidate.

Do explain. Or are you just using the standard republican/Fox News tactic of attacking someone who doesn't suck Bush's d1ck by taking something he said completely out of context and desperately focusing entirely on that?

And it's sad to see (I assume) republicans trash talk one of the very few true conservatives the republican party has seen in a while, let alone one of the few who isn't disgustingly corrupt. What is it with republican voters being so attracted to disgustingly corrupt neocons?

Ron Paul's supporters send out mass facebook msgs telling kids to vote for Ron Paul in online polls.

No better than Fox News telling the idiotic masses to vote neocon for reasons the idiotic masses have no clue about. IF U VOTE DEMOCRAT THE TERRORISTS AR GUNNA GIT YOO. WMDS! FAIR AND BALANCED!
