Ron Paul will vote for Bob Barr for President on the Texas ballot and here is why
Posted July 26th, 2008 by bedr1

Ron Paul who said write-in votes are NOT Productive and said he would not recommend that anyone do that will have few people to vote for in Texas.
Here they are:
Barr :)
McCain :(
Obama :(
No Greens, No Nader, No Constitution Party
Lets see I wonder who he will vote for?
You know he isn't going to vote for Obama, he already said no to McCain, so who is left. Bob Barr as there is no one else on the ballot in Texas.
Unless by some miracle McCain dies or all the delegates come to their senses, then he will get to vote for himself. Lets all hope for that.

uhhhh Ron Paul can vote for
uhhhh Ron Paul can vote for whomever the f**k he pleases. He can put down Saddam Hussein or Jerry Seinfeld if he so desires. It's a free country man.
Yep and that is my guess at who Ron Paul will vote for
Here is my other guess, Chuck Baldwin won't even get 1%
Not so sure how free our country really is though
Unless you are Ron Paul you cannot know who he will vote for.
This is just your opinion, not fact. Sometimes it is difficult, but polite, to keep your opinion to yourself. If your title had said "This is who I THINK Paul will vote for....", I would not have a problem. But you don't KNOW. (Here you admit your opinion is baseless supposition, at least. Thank you for that).
We'll have to see. My
We'll have to see. My suspicion is that both Baldwin and Barr will receive small percentages of the vote, perhaps equally small. In this movement, Barr is less popular than Baldwin.
There's no point in crowing about who gets less or more, inasmuch as we will all lose.

I disagree with you Tuma
In this movement, Barr is far outnumbering Baldwin all you have to do is go to meetup.com to see that where Barr is appoaching 10,000 members.
Instead what you have here are no exception voters, who want the perfect candidate (and by the way, Baldwin is far from the perfect candidate and also has no record) and then you have those voters that are willing to accept a candidate like Barr who for instance voted for the War but came out against it 6 months later. But the difference is that Barr has been able to spread the message, and get some MSM.
I think Barr will far outperform what any Libertarian Candidate has ever done.
I'm fairly ambivalent. If he
I'm fairly ambivalent. If he helps the cause of libertarianism somehow, that's fine with me.
On the other hand, I do consider Barr a charlatan and I'd never even consider voting for him.
I acknowledge that Baldwin has problems, although he's been trying.
Without some serious endorsement from Dr. Paul, I doubt either candidate will get very far.

Interesting You Should Mention Seinfeld
I once voted for Kramer! Not the guy who played him, but the real one on whom the character was based. He ran for Mayor of NYC on the Libertarian ticket in 2001 in a race which was won by Mike Bloomberg by a narrow margin.

write-ins
YOU also have to be registered as a write-in . A person's, " write-in", name must be spelled exactly the same on every ballot, in every state. IT does take some coordination to win as a write=in candidate. The actual
official name must be registered or the write-ins will be disqualified.
TLF
Gee, you're funny.
Dr. Paul's vote is his own, and I'm sure he''ll use it in a fashion he feels will best benefit all Americans.
Personally, Barr won't ever get my vote. His YES vote on the (un)patriot act sealed that.
When everyone learns not to accept excuse after excuse once the damage has been done, we'll have no more career political rapists selling the protections of our rights away for the benefit of their ma$ter$.
Bob Barr voted to deny me the protections of MY rights that many much better men & women than he fought & died for. F*@k him, and F*@k you for trying to convince voters to vote to keep him in office.
Now, if you don't like what I have to say, too bad. I don't like what you have to say either. Isn't the grace we've been given by God to have our own minds, our own opinions, and our own voices great?
Texas Can Vote For CB As A Write In
Baldwin is listed as an Independent in Texas and can be a write in....
unlike Ron Paul (unfortunately) in my state - who can not be a write in.
So, Ron Paul can write in Chuck Baldwin if he chooses - the Bush family
can too - and even their swell governor .... everyone in Texas can write
in Chuck Baldwin ...
and since I can't write in RP - I will most likely be voting for Chuck Baldwin
Ha ha a write in - totally worthless
Even Ron Paul doesn't recommend doing it
Ron Paul doesn't suggest
Ron Paul doesn't suggest writing his name in is productive because he is not going file as a write in candidate.
Understand how the system works if you ever plan on having effective changes made in this country.
I will not vote for Barr end of story.

Thanks,
I thought I remembered something about being able to write in....But could not remember the details.
Now I guess I'll have to do research on both Barr and Baldwin. I'll see if RP gives any direction....but in the end will make my own decision.
I suggest everyone quit the bickering, work for Barr and Baldwin
if you like, but we are all waiting for the word from Dr. Paul about where the Revolution should apply it's numbers. I'll do what he says, and if he says do what you think is best, then I'll vote for Barr.
Free and Brave
or Cradle to Grave
You can't have both
Maybe he'll just
write himself in on the ballot. I think we can do that here.
Hey, that we I'll know that he'll get at least 2 votes in Texas.....his and mine.
You need to reread the post. Dr. Paul has advised against
write-in votes, which from him means DO NOT WRITE IN VOTE.
Free and Brave
or Cradle to Grave
You can't have both
sistagirl it doesn't work like that
You have to be officially a write-in candidate or be a statewide party that has write-in access on the ballot in order to write someone in.
Ron Paul will not be on the ballot as a write-in. Texas has a sore loser law that does not allow those that have been in primaries and lost to be on the ballot as a write-in.
You can scribble his name on there, but then they will consider it an improper ballot and throw it in the trash, and if there were any local candidates that you wanted to win, your vote would not count for them either because you wrote a name in improperly.
I have until November
to decide.....If there's only 3 on the ballot then I've got some research to do on 'ol Bob.
If not him, then maybe I'll just leave that one blank and move on to the other races on my ballot.
BTW are you sure that "no write-in" thing applies to Texas? I was pretty sure that I remember being able to write in on a ballot here.......But then again maybe that was LONG time ago. Time does go so quickly....
Link please!
Provide the link that CP will not be on ballot in November.
Okay, but it was already in my original post
here ya go
http://www.constitutionpa...
just scroll down to Texas and look to where it says, "Write-In"
By the way, the CP will not be on the California ballot either.
The lost ballot access when the American Independent Party disaffiliated from the Constiution Party. The AIP was the CP's state Affiliate
Ballot access is more concerned with e-voting
where there is no way to write in a candidate.
Not sure what you mean here
can you tell me more?
WHAT!?!
The Greens won't be on the ballet? Man, now Ron Paul can't vote for Cynthia McKinney... that sucks.

Pathetic
OP wrote: "Ron Paul who said write-in votes are NOT Productive and said he would not recommend that anyone do that... "
This is NOT what Ron Paul said, nor is it what he intimated. Nice try, though.
I'ts a correct interpretation of his statement.
Here is what he said: ""I don’t think that’s very productive. They could do it, of course, but in most of the states it won’t count. If they can change the rules in a primary and not count all the votes, imagine what they could do with write-in votes!"

Of course if you're one of the many conspiracy theorists here, you can just claim that the interview is fabricated by Reason magazine which is really published by government neocons to infiltrate libertarianism.

Don't blame me that there's no voice for liberty in opposition to McCain and Obama in the televised Presidential debates. I donated to Bob Barr.
Good one preferred
I guess it was all a big fake interview that Ron was on, kinda like the set of the fabricated moon landing. Ha ha lol
Ron Paul has said more than once that write-in voting is something he would not recommend. As to the third party, actually what Ron Paul always complains about is the fact that ballot access is so hard, not the actual running on a third party ticket.
But the Libertarian Party will be on 49 states, and if luck is with them Oklahoma too.
Go back to school
And I don't mean the Government-sponsored variety. Your interpretation was not correct. Of course, if you're a FoxNews fan, I could understand your skewing tactics.
Live free are you watching the same video as me
Because Ron Paul was pretty clear and said that a write-in vote would NOT be very productive
Again, nice try
But you seem to need an immersion program to teach you how to digest information and then report it. (as if all of us hadn't already witnessed it and digested it and reported it here).
Your Telephone Game plan just doesn't work any more. Go back to China.
I guess you didn't watch the video
But here is another comment he made
When it comes to raw politics, Paul, rather passively, is hoping his followers don't just cling to his name. He rejected the idea of writing in his name on the November ballot, a concept that's stayed popular with many Paul voters despite the Libertarian Party and Constitution Party's pitches for their votes.
"I don’t think that’s very productive," Paul said of a write-in campaign. "They could do it, of course, but in most of the states it won’t count. If they can change the rules in a primary and not count all the votes, imagine what they could do with write-in votes!"
He said he has not ruled out voting for Barr.

Don't blame me that there's no voice for liberty in opposition to McCain and Obama in the televised Presidential debates. I donated to Bob Barr.
he also said running for
he also said running for third party was absolutely NOT Productive....this was no passing comment.
he's stated over and over with very specific reasons as to why third party runs are worthless.
so here it is, if Ron Paul changes his mind and runs for the libertarian party, I'll vote for the libertarian party.
Ron Paul might be at the leap off point where he can do more good outside of his congressional seat, then in it.
I think we would still lose, but it would be a helluva thing to witness. He's probably hit 25%, taking from both candidates.
(so yes, when he says write-ins aren't productive, that comment is in the context of a larger problem....which is: third parties aren't productive....he's essentially saying third parties aren't worth a crap, but writing-in third parties are worth even less)
Can someone say heeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaw
Heeee Haaaaawwww
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeehaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw
Lets just see who Dr Paul can vote for in Texas
