Having learned my lesson when George H Bush and Perot were running against Clinton, I would never again vote for a third party or vote for a democratic candidate.

In the following order this is what I would do -

I could work for support and vote for Fred Thompson or Mitt Romney

I could hold my nose and vote for McCain or Gulianni- but I couldn't support or work for their campaigns (I don't think)

I would stay home if Ron Paul or Huckabee were to win the primary.

I think there is nothing more scary than a liberal Democrat and that is a liberal Republican. Huckabee is very scary to me.

Ron Paul.

The man is so naively dangerous in his isolationism that America would be defenseless to attack.

At least Hillary is not stupid and suicidal and would fight if only to save herself.

I trust Hillary as Commander-in-Chief much more than I do Obama.

Voting for Obama, with Hillary in the VP slot, would make Hillary Commander in Chief as soon as Obama had that unfortunate fall off of the Truman balcony as Hillary was pointing out to him that cute little squirrel on the White House lawn.

Usually other things on the ballot than Pres, much more immediate and important things such as State offices and judgeships and questions override all of the silliness about the Pres election.

I’m not staying home. There is always a lesser of two evils. I like Fred. I prefer, wholeheartedly, Hunter. I’m not particularly thrilled about the other candidates. Ron Paul might make me switch parties if his million to one shot were to ‘bear fruit’.

I won’t stay home. I will vote in all the rest of the races and write in Duncan Hunter for president.

Why does everyone keep giving into the MSM premise that we are going to have to hold our noses to vote?
Why are we already looking like a bunch of losers pining for the loss of our convictions?
I know who I am going to vote for period. And until the time comes that I might have to face otherwise...I defiantly refuse to entertain the notion of selling out my values to vote against anything.

I’m sorry, but ‘staying at home’ isn’t an option for me; there’s always a zillion other things on the ballot. Considering that my vote in California pretty much means nothing for the presidential contest (unless we go to proportional voting), it’s not a big issue for me.

I would not vote for the Huckster. Probably wouldn’t vote for “I like mandates” Mitt Romney. I’d probably hold my nose and vote for anyone else. I have zero fear of skipping over a contest on the ballot, even though this will, of course, be used by the ACLU in their never ending claims of spoiled votes, since, gosh, no vote was registered for top of ticket.

Least I get to vote for Fred in the February primary. And very hopeful that he gains momentum and starts cleaning up on the vote totals, as I honestly think that not only is he the best person for the job, but he’d have the widest coattails for flipping over districts back into our column. I don’t see that for Romney or Huckster or McCain.

I would vote for a third party candidate if Giuliani should be the Republican nominee. (I’d never stay home on election day and I’d never vote for HRC or Obama.)

Which Republican candidate would make you cross over and vote for a third party?

Rudy Giuliani. I will never vote for a pro-abort candidate.

Huckabee or McCain? I would probably hold my nose and vote for the R over the D.

Romney? I would be wishin' and hopin' that his recent conversion to conservatism is genuine.

Thompson? I would contribute to his campaign, work enthusiastically for him, and proudly vote for him.

RoPaul? If you catch me voting for him, have me committed. He's pro-life and would slash domestic spending, but his foreign policy would be an absolute disaster.

Which Republican candidate running would make you stay at Home on election day? McCain, Huckabee.

Which Republican candidate would make you cross over and vote for a third party? None.

Which Republican candidate would make you cross over and vote for Hilary or Obama? McCain or Huckabee if Obama is the D’s choice. I would never vote for Her Evilness.

I honor McCain’s long service, and I distrust some of his inclinations (1st Amendment, Borders). But I don’t trust his sanity with the nuke button. Sorry, I think the NVA got to him, and he has been damaged.

Huckster will destroy the Republican Party by being a Lib. I’d rather have an honest lib (Obama) who we can oppose, rather than a RINO to oppose.

No way will I stay home, nor vote 3rd party. Over the past 232 years too many have sacrificed too much for me to throw away my vote like a 2 year old having a temper tantrum because I didn’t get exactly the R ticket I want.

As screwed up as the GOP is, and as much as I despise some of our candidates, I will vote for the GOP nominee.

That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.

For McCain, somebody would have to bring the ballot box to my bed, and then maybe I would lean over, vote and go back to sleep.

None. I don’t forfeit my vote.

Now, ask me if I will vote for a RINO? No!

If FRed is on the GE ballot, I’ll vote for FRed. If FRed is not and Duncan Hunter is, I’ll vote for Hunter.

If neither is on the ballot, I’ll write in FRed Thompson.

I encourage all Conservatives to do likewise.

I would only sit home or vote third party if it was Ron Paul. At least with Huck, I doubt he would stab our troops in the back.

My list is pretty similar to yours.

I would work hard for Thompson
Accept Romney
Hold my nose for Rudy, McLovin or Huckabee
Never vote for Paul

I have never voted third party and never would.

Which Republican candidate would make you cross over and vote for Hilary or Obama?

LMAO no way, I have never voted Democrat in my life and never will. And IF either Hillary or Obama win then say goodbye to America. The Republican party is running low on conservatives now, not just those running for office but also in the voters. It disgusts me to see so many rino's in my Republican party. Even the top brass of the GOP and RNC are rino's. If they want to run our party into the ground like they have been then they will have left me, not the other way around.

Nothing short of my own death could make me stay home.

Also, nothing short of my own death (I heard dead people have been know to vote for democrats) could make me vote for a democrat.

I will vote republican on election day.
