That's a bit strong.
For one thing, why vote on a candidate who doesn't support your ideals? If you have to choose between crap and shit, what purpose is there in voting? Either way you get shit on you.

And besides that, I'm not wholly convinced our votes make much difference at all. Maybe I am a bit paranoid, but honestly, I don't trust the US Government, and I think there's plenty of reason for that. I have a hard time believing that they aren't going to put in office exactly who they want. Or at least let us choose from a group of candidates they hand-picked.

I'm not saying I definitely won't vote, but saying "If you don't vote, you're part of the problem" sounds to me like bullshit.

Not voting implies apathy. That's my problem with it.

I'm not saying that the people who elect not to vote are all apathetic, but we were given the right for a reason.

Shit, blow your vote on an independent if you must. But don't sacrifice the one right you have that can turn the tide. I'm not saying it will or that it's even likely... but at least you're sticking up for something.

Having some value system is better than sitting neutral in my book.

He didn't have a chance in hell anyway so he just wasted millions for nothing, just like several others. Edwards should drop out too. This race seems to be betweeen Hill and Obomb, Romney, McCain & Huckabee...no one else can come close on the number of votes. The count when I went to bed last night in FL was about 200k total more republican votes to that is massive when all directed towards one candidate unlike the primary.

:yesnod:

I've never heard a good reason for not voting.  Somebody on that ballot is going to end up in the oval office.  "None of the above" will never be president. Those who claim all candidates are equally bad are fooling themselves. 

The worst is when people think they're making some kind of statement by not voting.  Guess what?  Nobody hears your statement, because you aren't saying anything at all.  Everyone has the right to not vote, just don't pretend that by doing so you are serving anyone but yourself.

I don't think he's out of the race...look at his webpage, still going strong. I got emails today from the campaign. I really think Fox News was mistaken.

In my mailbox from this morning from the Ron Paul 2008 campaign:

Quote:

January 30, 2008


Every movement in history has faced some time of testing, some experience that either forges it into something strong and unified, or forces it to fade away into the history books as another failed experiment.

Dr. Paul has written to you that we are heading straight for Super Tuesday. Our opponents are free to beat up on each other and wear themselves down while we gather our supporters and prepare to storm the convention with delegates.

Last night, over 60,000 people stood up and asked for an end to the runaway violation of our liberties. But contrary to the impression you may be getting from the mainstream media, no national delegates have yet been won in Florida. Those delegates will only be awarded between February 6 and April 30 at delegate selection caucuses, and many of those delegates will be supporters of Dr. Paul.

Ron Paul is the only candidate not to give up on any state in the Republican race, and just as we competed strongly in overlooked states like Nevada and Louisiana, so too will we compete in Maine, Minnesota, and other states that the so-called "top-tier" candidates are content to ignore.

Now, as the focus shifts to Super Tuesday, Rudy's campaign is crushed, Huckabee is losing momentum by the day, and McCain and Romney are fighting over who is the most liberal.

We've been here before. In 1776, despite a courageous effort at holding onto the city, George Washington ceded New York and quickly retreated to New Jersey.

1777 brought the British recapture of Fort Ticonderoga, as well as American defeats at Brandywine and Germantown.

And then, during the winter of 1777-1778, Washington and his army faced perhaps their most humiliating moment, forced to endure a harsh Pennsylvania winter with limited supplies at Valley Forge.

The American revolutionaries dealt with their defeats, focused on their goals, and emerged from Valley Forge as a force that would defeat the most powerful nation on earth.

Our momentum is building. Each one of us, from Dr. Paul himself down to the grassroots supporter who donates the last $5 he or she can give, is focused on the goal.

Early in the struggle for American independence, George Washington wrote: "Perseverance and spirit have done wonders in all ages." Even then, Washington realized that a fierce struggle for self-government can only be won with a spirit of determination equal to the challenge.

Today, in the midst of our new revolution, let's consider Washington's words once again. The task before us is enormous. The foes of liberty are deeply entrenched, and they will not relinquish their power without a struggle.

But fighting in our favor is the unconquerable human spirit, the innate desire to be free. We must embrace this inner strength, dig in our heels, and persevere, just as Washington and his rag-tag colonials, the first American grassroots patriots, did before us. And if we must pass through a Valley Forge or two along the way to victory, let those times of testing temper the steel of our determination.

If Ron Paul is to continue his fight for liberty to the Republican Convention, we need your help in two critical ways:

1. Become a precinct leader today: It's easy, but more importantly, it's vital to Ron Paul's success: https://voters.ronpaul2008.com.

2. Donate: Just as the Continental Congress supplied General Washington's troops in the field, we too must raise as much money as we can to equip our grassroots supporters.

Help us win this revolution and usher in a new era of freedom, peace, and prosperity. Donate today: https://www.ronpaul2008.com/donate.

There's nothing saying he's quitting. And why all the Ron Paul hate?
"He's toast"
"That's what I thought"
"Haha, I don't understand politics or social change at all, but I'm going to agree with the person above me because they probably do."

To quote Dr. Paul:
"Then, after the debate, Rudy Giuliani walked up to me and said, "Oooh, you sure have a LOT of supporters." It's only the beginning, I told him."
