  • Barack Obama/Joe Biden
  • I'm not voting this election
  • I'm too young to vote

I voted for Pedro and outdated jokes from eight year old movies.

Canadiana here. Still have to wait a few years to vote in the next federal election. Feels like Harper has been in power forever though...

I voted for Obama. Also, since there was no opponent for Ohio's very own John Boehner, I wrote in Captain Planet.

So just like real life there is no real third party option. That said I voted for Barrage Obongo instead of Mott Rimney.

Oh, and this popped up after The Colbert Report on election night.... more of Key and Peele's "Obama's Anger Translator."

I didn't vote because of the options, but if the circumstances were different I would have voted for Ron Paul.

The Romney/Ryan dry spell has been broken.

Ron Paul is the Republican Dennis Kucinich. Both are fucking insane, both have supporters that are crazier then they are, and both will never get nominated but bless their hearts for trying every election.

You might have a chance with Paul's demon spawn since he hides his craziness better.

How is Ron Paul crazier than a man who promotes torture, sport killing, and unconstitutional policies? I also think it's unfair to call me crazy just because my views are different from yours. I personally think most Obama supporters are generally stupid and annoying, but you don't see me telling you that... directly.... to your face...... because that would be rude and insensitive.

@NlGHTCRAWLER: My apologize for the generalizations this is just based on every Ron Paul supporter and Libertarian I interact with on a personal level. Plus I think anyone who thinks "Going Galt" is a good idea is morally reprehensible. Honestly I believe National Politics are ultimately pointless until the two party system is abolished. I am getting sick of voting for the lesser of two evils and I don't think I will even bother to vote for anything besides local and state issues in the future.

@Ghost_of_GhostDad: I in no way shape or form think Ron Paul is perfect and a lot of his followers consist of conspiracy theorists who don't acknowledge the faults in some of his ideas (even though some of them are very radical) so I don't blame you, but I personally think some of his policies would really benefit this country (and a few others) in the long term which is something I don't see in any other candidate. I consider Ron Paul the lesser of two evils as well, which sucks because I would like to know how it feels to vote for someone wholehearted even if they have no chance of winning. Maybe someday we can have this candidate, but until then I will just vote to change or keep state issues as well. (sucks)
