Topic: Would you vote for Pres. Allen West?

[Libertas]

I don't see it as against my principles if I had to vote for, oh, Romney....Or Paul. There is not anyone here who is in lockstep with every candidate, so it would be reasonable to surmise you compromise your principles every time you vote. So I don't buy the argument, but I do see it as frustration with a party that seems to lose its rudder at times.

I feel I compromise my principles, my beliefs, my family, if I don't do everythig within my power to kick a socialist out of the White House....and his friends. I compare it favorably as a young, newly married guy who needed to support his family....So I held my nose and took some jobs most would feel is beneath them, but I had a family to think of and support, it wasn't just about me anymore.

There is lesser evil and much lesser evil...

Kinda like Perry and Romney or Paul...

One I could live with, the other, I dunno, whats the point?  If all we do is postpone the inevitable instead of doing a full 180 then I don't get it...the former does nothing in the end but provide a false hope...had enough of that!

But your old/jaded vs young/optimistic dynamic is not lost on me...I reinforce my own stereotype!

If the primary were held today with the candidates that are there, I would vote for Ron Paul

I'm about 60% for him which is way above most of the others

I also have serious concerns about him.
Included are his supporters who are nucking futs

Foreign policy, immigration and associations with Code Pink give me some pause.

But, he's the only one who is rtalking the Constitution and a Constitutional basis for government.

I wish it were Rand that were running.

He seems to have his feet on the ground

Give Ron Paul one of the sacred cows of liberals and allow him to reduce it into nothingness. Rand most likely has all his dads good attributes and ignores the bad.

The only advantage we have with repubs is they have to pretend they listen to us
