Would you be willing to change your party affiliation to the Republican party just to vote for Ron Paul?

Question

You know he's the best Republican candidate

Answer 1

I know nothing of the sort

Duncan Hunter is the best Republican candidate

Answer 2

Ron Paul wont be the nominee because the power brokers want to put up Perry or Romney. Paul would not get enough votes to win against Obama. I wanted to vote for Ron Paul in 2008 in the California closed primary. However, only Republicans and Independent registered voters could vote for a Republican candidate, and California did not have Independent party registration, and I was registered as "unaffiliated" so I couldnt vote at all. I could only have voted for Paul as a Republican which I am not. I think people should be allowed to vote without registering a political affiliation. That would be more democratic, more egalitarian and prevent the two major parties from rigging the election. We have a stupid rigged system with the electoral college. Hilary got the most popular votes but the DNC finessed the system and Obama the electoral votes.

Answer 3

He's not only the best Republican candidate... He is the "best" candidate to run for President this time around. Although I do not consider myself a Republican... I am for some reason registered as one. Now... I think of it as a good thing, because I can vote for Ron Paul in the Primary election & then again in the General election. I love his views & I love what he stands for. The media wants people to think that he is a "nobody", but the truth will come out in the long run. He will win & those same people that dissed him will be kissing his azz. America... Wake up and smell the coffee. Ron Paul is the candidate that believes in the American people. He is "for" the American people!!!

Answer 4

I won't change my party affiliation because like Dr. Paul, I stick to the Constitution. He's the only one who stands out, the only one who mentions the Constitution and Founding Fathers, the only one who's anti-war and wants a new foreign policy. He's got a perfect conservative(real conservative and not this neo-con BS) voting record. I believe in him and so do a lot of others. Maybe all his sudden popularity is the reason they didn't invite him to the upcoming Iowa debate. No answers or reasons for why either. RUN RON RUN!!!!

Answer 5

I have not voted for several years and I have no political affiliation. I believe there are grains of truth in every party, but to pledge myself to any, no, I will not do. My belief is in the Constitution itself and the visions that our forefathers gave to us. What they taught us, goes against every fiber of government today. I have always supported and defended our Constitution. Personally, I wouldn't care if Ron Paul himself belonged to the 'King Kong' party. I see the person, and this man would have my vote regardless. He is a godsend to this country. Many are blinded by the political 'lights', and it's no wonder, they cannot even see a good thing when it stares them in the face. It saddens me beyond words. I can only pray that the generations ahead, will forgive their ancestors for the roads that we have paved.

Answer 6

You don't have to change your party affiliation from Libertarian (or whatever) to Republican to vote for Ron Paul (or to vote for anyone else). YES, vote for Ron Paul, if you believe in liberty. I will.

Answer 7

If I thought he was the best candidate, I probably would. It'll be tougher for me this time around. I think the republicans in general really messed up in Congress and the presidency. I also think they left one heck of a mess for the next president to clean up.

Answer 8

In Massachusetts, and I suspect other states, one only needs to change their registration for the time it takes to vote; change it to GOP when you get to the table where they check your name, then change it back to independent or whatever after you vote.

I did that once to vote for Dr. Mildred Jefferson in a GOP US Senate primary election. I might consider doing it for Ron Paul. I like Joe Schriner's positions more than Ron Paul's, but Schriner has no chance of winning (not that I think Paul has much of a chance either, but better than Schriner).

Answer 9

Tough call. If it looked like every vote counted, I might consider it.

I have not got excited about a dem candidate yet. I also feel a bit comfortable with dems and reps cancelling each out. I do not like an extreme either way.

Answer 10

I wouldn't vote for dick.

And I'm not talking Cheney either.

I'm sick and tired of both parties right now, and wouldn't blink an eye if both got blown off the map by an asteroid.

Answer 11

Voting for Ron Paul is a vote for Hillary. He will not win because people do not know him and he has not captured interest after the debates. So voting for him is a wasted vote. I would suggest vote for Rudy because he shares libertarian views like small government--he fired 30% of govt employees as NYC govenor--and he's a social liberal who believes govt has no business dictating peoples lives; he favors school choice. But the key is he is leading the Republican candidates and he can beat Socialist Hillary, who represents everything a Libertarian is against.
