If you put aside voting strategy and voted for the one you really prefer, who would you vote for? This poll is open to everyone, even those who can't vote.

Note: not enough space to include Bill Richardson in the "both reps and dems" poll.

Edit: Forget the "Reps only" in the title.

Well whoever votes next can pretty much tell what jackinbox, and I voted more people need to vote quick! Would be fun to see who would win an ImmInst poll... suppose there is still a year to go, plenty of voting time :

In my opinion there are only two good candidates. Ron Paul and Barack Obama. And maybe Hillary Clinton. Either way this country needs change

Since already two person voted for Bill Richardson, I removed Chris Dodd from the "all candidates" poll to include him. I hope Chris is a minor enough candidate that no one will vote for him!

I would like Ron Paul to have a chance, but figure it will be Barack or Hillary--I'd rather Barack win, but I'll be voting whichever Democrat has the ticket, since the numbers will be there to support their win.

no problems there, here in Austin he is quite possible, many advocate for him at my church, and he by far has the most signs around the city on lawns...

I like Mike Huckabee-


Damn! He seems to be perfect on every issue!

I really couldn't ask for more in a President.

And an End Times-er... He needs to clarify his relationship with Tim LaHaye.

The support for Ron Paul on the Internet is amazing! We need to bring in to the real world! Contribute to the tea party money bomb, Dec 16th.

[Aegist]

Ron Paul seems to have done really well at the Tea Party. Its funny, I was playing around at Digg yesterday and found a page on the representatives. Ron Paul has more than twice as many friends as the nearest representative (Barack Obama) and 14 times as many as the nearest republican representative.

These sorts of stats are the same everywhere you look online. Youtube, facebook,myspace etc etc etc. If the American Election were a global vote, there is no doubt Ron Paul would win.

He has my (Australian) vote.

I'd vote for Ron Paul. I don't think he will be the Republican presidential candidate though. I will vote for any Republican except for Giuliani in the election. I'd vote for Barack if that were the case. If it were Giuliani and Clinton, I wouldn't vote. I'd probably move to Australia or Spain if that were to happen.

Could somebody PM me about whats so great about Ron Paul as far as life extension is concerned? Im surprised to find him as the number one voted candidate here. My best non life extensionist friends vote for him too and now Im really liable to jump on the lets spread this guys name bus.

[Aegist]

No need to PM I don't think.

There is nothing special about him specifically regardling lifespan extension, it is just his whole collection of policies. Basically he will get the federal government out of all of the things which it isn't needed in and let the free market take care of itself.

No more wars, no more foreign aid, no more federal reserve, no more dept. education, no more dept. of home defence, no more welfare etc. Suddenly you have a government with a shit load of expenses gone - therefore the need to tax people is almost lost.

The role of the government, as my understand of Ron Pauls overall principle, is to simply protect the states - so the federal government will provide a defence force and intelligence agencies to provide protection for 'The united states' - and then let the states run their own state without interference from the federal. It just makes sense.

It is, ironically enough, what America is supposed to be all about. Ron Paul is just the first person (in the last few hundred years anyway) who is actually going to do it. he is going to follow the USA constitution.

--------
So why do people support him so much, including immortalists? because you can be confident that he won't ban stem cell research, or any other research for that matter. Nor will he impede that research with stupid taxes. Research will be free to proceed. (Plus he is a doctor (Ob Gyn), not some moron creationist with no education)) He does believe some thing which I disagree with, but thanks to his perfect political principles, it doesn't matter what he believes - he won't impose them on anyone else.

What more can you want in a leader, but freedom?

I would have to say that all of this will, albeit indirectly, be very conducive to life extension in an enormous number of ways.


Also, isn't Ron Paul a Creationist?

I always vote republican but this time there's not one I care much for. Ron Paul would be a good choice, but it doesn't seen like he's got a chance.

Surprisingly the candidate that has got my attention the most is Barack Obama. I don't care for his politics because he's a democrat, but as a person I like him. If he ends up elected as president It would be the first time a democrat was elected that I didn't feel like I need to worry a lot about the future.

It's good to see there's not much support here for Hellary. She's the one that worries me the most.

[Andrew Shevchuk]

At this point I'll vote for either Barack Obama or Ron Paul. If neither of them is on the ballot I'll vote for whichever Democrat is on there. If they are both on the ballot I haven't decided which one I'll vote for yet.

He's a Doctor. Since when are educated people - particularly those educated in high level sciences - Creationists?

He is anti abortion though (has a lot to do with lifetime career of delivering babies), but once again his beliefs are irrelevant when he imposes his political principles, because what he believes won't matter when the federal government pulls its nose out of everyone else's business.

Here is an interesting discussion about Ron Paul and his religious views.

He is a devout Christian by the way Aegist, so I can't see how he would not believe that an entity named God created everything.

Just as nearly every other christian on the face of the planet (minus american christians) believe that God created everything, and did so through evolution, it is quite likely that Ron Paul believes the same. Ever heard of Ken Miller? He was the primary witness for Evolution in the Dover School hearing (the one which absolutely ruled against Intelligent Design - the offspring of creationism) - he too is a devout catholic.
