Ron Paul and the "Wasted Vote" nonsense
Uploaded by: SLCThunk
Video Description:
Apologies for the crappy syncing.
Here's a transcript:
Reasons why Ron Paul won't win so don't vote for him makes NO sense.
1. If you are a Democrat, the front runners -- Barak & Hillary, have both promised military action against Iran, Barak even advocating nuclear action. Hillary & Barak also speak regularly at fundraisers for AIPAC [explained in video]
If you are a Republican, the front runners (in fact virtually everyone that isn't Ron Paul) wants to keep these wars going, and that results in huge debts that can only be paid off in taxes. The historical Republican principle has been "stay out of wars" and "stay out of debt!"
So if you're worried that voting for Ron Paul will cause you to "waste your vote," just remember that voting for these other candidates, who are pro-war, pro-debt, and pro-espionage, is an even bigger waste.
2. Assuming you don't have a problem with Clinton, Obama, Giuliani, or McCain, but you think their odds are better than RP's, and you don't think your one vote for Ron Paul would make enough of a difference to get him into office; just remember, your one vote isn't enough to get any of the others into office either! If you're so sure one of the others is bound to win anyway, what difference does it make if you vote Ron Paul? They'll still win, just like if you voted for them. But at least they'll win by less!
Or, maybe enough of you will see this before the Republican primary, and enough of you will vote your conscience and Ron Paul will get elected.
3. If enough support for Ron Paul is recognized, future candidates may be forced to start implementing some (or maybe all!) of his policies, in order to steal support from libertarian-leaning candidates. I don't know if that's good or bad, but hey! let's just pretend it's good.
4. The top-tier candidates are very similar to each other, not to Ron Paul. In the past, people complained that Nader stole the election from Kerry, as if Kerry was closer to Nader than he was to Bush -- keep in mind, Kerry took money from the same IG's and corporations as Bush did, and he was pro-war and pro-Israel too. He just wanted to invade "differently" (BS).
Today, we're seeing something similar. Top-tier candidates are promoting the same pro-war, pro-Israel, neoconservative ideology. Hilary gets donations from Rupert Murdoch. Anti-war activists criticize Barak Obama's Iran position. Giuliani & McCain want to spend spend spend! There's no truth to the "lesser of two evils" thing, they're ALL evil! So don't waste your vote on evils with higher probabilities (what? you wanna be able to say "I picked the winner"?) Waste your vote on a moral candidate with lesser probability!
In the end, no matter which way you spin it, there's really no reason not to vote your conscience.
SO -- for those of you who have come to realize that this time around, that better candidate is none other than Ron Paul -- register for the primary elections in your state and vote Ron Paul! If you're in a state with a closed primary, you're going to have to register as a Republican. I know some of you detest the idea, but remember it's for a good cause.
Thanks.

Hillary the NeoCon fake anti-war Candidate
Hillary is (deceptively enough) pro-war and wants us to go into Iran too! What a peace candidate! Exactly what the American people are looking for!:

Hillary Clinton speaking for AIPAC:

Conclusion: Obama & Clinton are not anti-war. They're fakes. And they speak for groups that spy on the American public. They are corrupt as hell. What's worse is they're Democrats, so on top of getting increased militarism you also get the continued liberal destruction of our economy. What could be more American than death AND taxes?!?!
VOTE LIBERTY! VOTE RON PAUL.

THATS WHY YOU SHOULDNT WASTE YOUR VOTE..
duh thats common sense, it the same way that everybody who voted liberal caused kerry and gore to lose..
GOD YOU ARE SO IGNORANT.
RP IS A PLANT BY THE REPUBLICANS TO GET MCCAIN INTO OFFICE...
sont be a idiot open your eyes...

Either way I'd point you to my own video to say why that shit doesn't even matter if it were true.
1st there is NO wasted vote except when the votes are hijacked - that is vote fraud on the part of the election boards or the machine manufacturers.
2nd for all these NEW voters - it is not a good idea to start "voting for the lessor of 2 evils" - VOTE YOUR CONSCIENCE!
3rd Even if you have to register a party to vote in the primaries, this does not require you to vote THAT party in the general election.
4th voting for the corporate shills is pure brainwashing.
One thing that will get Obama in over McSame is that most people will save more money with Obama's tax plan. I want the Invasion over more than anything.
In seeing these early vids, I like seeing you clearly, but I love your WILD hair even better than the buzz cut.
Proud of you for being strong in your opinions & expressing them with poignancy & STRONG backing arguments!
I know it's too late for Ron Paul we all know in our hearts that Ron was right!
During the debates he was the only one sounding the alarm bells on the Economy!
