“I got a free ticket from a candidate.”

That means you were dishonest, giving the impression you will vote for that candidate and you didn’t.

Huckabee was proudly mentioning that his supporters got free tickets from other candidates and voted for him. That was also dishonest.

So much for conservative values of honesty.

There was no dishonesty involved. You stand in a line and get handed a ticket at any tent. There were stacks and stacks of tickets left all over the grounds everywhere you went. Organizations not affiliated with candidates also gave out complimentary tickets. I obviously couldn’t have voted for the NRA. My ticket was numbered over 39,000 and only 16,000 voted. I had a HUCKPac sticker on my shirt and the guy who gave me a ticket said, I hope you aren’t voting for Huck and then laughed.

I guess it would be dishonest to accept any flier or sticker from any candidate I don’t intend to vote for?

Get over yourself.

That's not true. There would be no blank to 'write in' a name for someone else if you were EXPECTED to vote for the person you got the ticket from.

So, you Perry people bought a bunch more than 700 tickets, eh? Good to know.
