Registered Republicans

[G-khan]

Here is the problem as I see it.. How many of you are registered Republicans and can vote in the primary's

I suspect that most of the registered ones do not want Ron Paul..

[AuAgHorn]

Who's going to admit to being a Democrate?

Wouldn't joining the Republican party at this juncture be akin to sacrelidge?

Sorry, you know I just luv to bug ya.:bear_innocent:

In the primary in Tennessee, you don't have to be a registered anything.....on primary day, you simply show up and decide which party you intend to vote for.......next primary, you can pick another if you like. You can't, in the primary, split your vote between parties, but you can in the general election.

[Sukhoi_fan]

Doesn't that depend upon the rules in the state where one is registered?

BTW, political activism is far more influencial than your single vote, i.e. changing/influencing the opinions of 'registered voters' on a wholesale basis.

Think BIG - think nationwide, don't think of you and your single vote in the voting booth.

I am a registered republican and I added the Ron Paul for President Bumper sticker to my car last week. Granted I don't equal most by any method except my own :}

[Pragmatist]

I have been a registered Libertarian since I was 18. I registered as a republican within a week of Paul announcing his candidacy. You can't support Ron in the primaries if you aren't a register republican. Obviously.

Don't let your Pride cost him a vote if you support him.
F*** PRIDE.

I'm not an Amerikan but please tell me exactly what substantial difference there is between your two catch-all major parties. Or the Green Party for that matter, or any other. Neither of your big two will ever change the monetary system, neither will reduce the size of government, both are infested with religion, both are in the pockets of vested interests, neither will cut government "services" (never mind taxes!) and both support the armed forces, the wars and inflationary deficit spending. Both believe in the need for border controls, passports, more police and state schooling. This is a ridiculous poll and its only use is to point out how even supposedly savvy investors can get sucked into the system... :withstupi

[Libertarian_Guard]

Only because of Ron Paul, I stoped by the board of elections last week and switched over to the Republican party.

[bulloncoins]

I'm pretty sure that in Texas, a registered voter may vote in the Republican or the Democratic primary, but not in both. They put a stamp by your name on the record showing if you voted in a primary.

And what nation on Earth works that way? I mean ALL governments are corrupt, you just pointed out the short comings of every government on the face of the Earth

Even if you were to have a total Libertarian form of government, you_would_still_have_corruption as corruption is the nature of man.

The biggest differences between the two parties is this.

Democrats are anti-2nd amendment and anti-business, also they support the murder of millions of unborn children but think its abhorrent to put a multi-murderer to death.

Oh, and the Greens are communists dressed in socialists clothing. If we let them take over the purse strings, we'd all be equally poor and miserable.

There is only a substantial difference when there is a president or majority in Congress that are substantially different.

Neither will change the monetary system without systematic failure because they are afraid of the unknown and the known results. Neither will reduce the size of Government because of the same.

Neither currently believe in border control, passports.

The Republican and Democratic Presidents who's job it is to faithfully execute the Laws have not Faithfully executed the Laws, as it pertains to Illegal Mexicans and other South Americans. This is the only real reason to impeach this President. ALL others are smoke.

Both parties are being run by handlers that tell Candide's what to say and not to say and therefore they are alike in to many ways.

All these problems and lies and still I would not vote for Democrats as they are Pro Abortion, Pro Homosexual and Pro Gun removal: control. These are sacred to my way of thinking and can be reduced to -----They want your kids dead and want you powerless to defend yourself and they want Men and families weakened and marginalized.

So the results are the same the further we get from the Founding Fathers morals. Morals not Values.. Values are an Atheist explanation and definition of Morals.

Only God will change this nation back to its greatness.

All you say may be true (it is). But, you miss the point: the poll herein speaks to the mechanics of voting and in particular, the need to be a registered republican in order to vote for a republican primary candidate. That is the system as it is today, not as many of us might want it to be.

BTW, Ron Paul as president would be an effective antidote to the many valid criticisms you have leveled against America!

[The Great Ag]

I am still a registered Repubican, but I choose not to vote in the primary nor the national election. The system is rigged (voting means choosing your oppressor) and the outcome is certain to be a candidate favored by the money mongers.

I am currently reading a book The Naked Communist by Skousen regarding the birth of communism. Interestingly, the "people" of Russia overthrew the Tsar in 1917 without ANY communist support. The so-called "elected representatives" of the Russian people began reforms, but not fast enough. The communists lead by Lenin demanded a vote for leadership of the country. It was granted, and the people voted 3 to 1 AGAINST Lenin and the communists. Rather than admit defeat, Lenin forcibly tossed out the elected representatives by gun-point, quashed any rebellion and installed the communist party.

Why do I mention this? THe money mongers are communists at heart, and they WILL NOT allow Ron Paul to be "popularly" elected. If he does, it is only because he has been neutered, ala Reagan in the 80's. Remember Reagan wanted to put America back on the gold standard and fix the tax system. Neither happened. Reagan was "neutered."

The American political system is unfortnately an illusion of choice. Only those so called "leaders" who promote socialism read entitlements will be elected. Even if Ron Paul gets 52% of the vote, the electronic voting machines will insure he does not win. Without a receipt showing who you voted for, you cannot even trust the outcome of the vote. As Stalin said (I believe it was Stalin, if not another Soviet leader), "It does not matter who votes, but who counts the votes."

Good mornin all.

Well said, Electric:

Therein lies the hope. That a God centered people will change the gov't. Voting will not do it, as God does not control the voting machines.

Im other but i can vote either here but i can only pick one,our wonderful two partys got rid of blanket ballots just a few years ago even though the voters said no a corrupt judge went with the party masters.

[silverghost]

Look at how many people voted for Bush last go around...There's a ton of registered republicans out there thirsting for change. Ron Paul supporters just need to get the word out in the early primary states - Iowa & New Hampshire.

[TaxHaven]

Ron Paul is the ONLY reason I could ever see for anyone to register as a Republican...or a Democrat, for that matter. The best you can all do is prepare yourselves, quietly, for the future. Avoid government, hide your income, use the Internet to the fullest, structure your assets to be as untraceable and liquid as possible, break or bend every petty law and edict you an get away with - the Empire, already bankrupt, will tire itself out trying to control everyone and everything. Wink, nod, salute and do what you know is right. The Empire's future is dim - yours can be bright(er)!

[drafter]

Registered Republican, but haven't voted for a republican since the Clinton years, Dole I think was the last one I voted for. I no longer pay attention to the "party", but the person, and if they all suck I just write in whoever I want. Nowadays it's just a "lesser of two evils" game anyways. Pretty pointless.

[Goldfinger]

I'm still registered Republican although I consider myself a Libertarian and have supported the LP over the past several elections.

Electric-Amish

Very true. What's your take on Ron Paul, EA??

[Sparky]

In Massachusetts, you can register as "Unenrolled", which means you are registered to vote, and can choose to vote in either of the two primary elections.

It used to be that once you chose to vote in a particular party's primary, you automatically became enrolled in that party, and had to fill out a form to "unenroll" from that party, but remain registered. Since more than half of Massachusetts voters are registered as Unenrolled, they finally did away with that nonsense of having to "unenroll" after each primary, as it was a huge waste of time and paper. It was obviously a failed attempt to "trap" a voter into a particular party.

[eyeofliberty]

I'm a registered Libertarian, but I may re-register Republican so I can vote for Ron Paul in the primaries here in Oregon. I had given up on voting and become an anarcho-capitalist. I'm still wondering whether it will actually make any difference or matter if I do this time around.

On the one hand, I really don't want any ruler or leader. See my sig quote from Thoreau. On the other hand, I'm practical, and understand that this will never happen in my lifetime, or even several generations into the future, so I might as well work for the best case scenario (Ron Paul). We'll see which side wins out!

[buff01]

Registered Libertarian, but I'll reregister as Repub. when it gets closer to the primaries. That is, assuming RP is still in the mix.

[Veritas]

You can't, in the primary, split your vote between parties, but you can in the general election.

Final straw...packing my bags and moving to Tennessee.

[crud3w4re]

I was going to register Libertarian, but how do I register Republican?

Take a deep breath....

[crud3w4re]

Take a deep breath....

The Libertarian Party was going to register me because I was running for the legislature, that never happened, so now I will register Republican in time to vote for Ron Paul.

Make sure you absolutely have to register with the party you are going to vote for. I don't think you need to (though it's dependent upon which state you reside).

Then, keep your fingers crossed that Paul doesn't drop the Republican banner....

[NOOB]

In Georgia you don't have to be one or the other. Vote early and often.
