[quote:chris999:MV8xOTc3MDkyXzMzMjAyMzE3X0Q4REI5NjA3] [quote:Anonymous Coward 10600600:MV8xOTc3MDkyX0UyRTE0NEYy] Ok, I do not understand this and hopefully someone can explain it to me. Imagine there are 100 people polled for who they are following in the election. Lets say its a really close election this year so the people polled are as follows: Romney - 45 Obama - 45 Paul - 10 Now Ron Paul might be great guy and have some great ideas but it is impossible for Paul to win the election. Since it is impossible for Paul to win, then voting for Paul is the same as not voting at all. Your vote for paul will do nothing. Your better off voting for the side that closer to Pauls views and just hoping the Paul will work with the winner of the election. I am just saving, your vote means something if you vote for one of the two major candidates. If you vote for Paul, then your just dreaming the impossible. Lets put it this way, if you vote for Paul, your actually voting for Obama to win and I can't believe that's what Paul wants either. Do the right thing. [/quote] Well it looks to me like you got your information from the 'media' which lies in order to protect the two-party system. Ron Paul has at least 30% support. The media lies so that people who believes them will feel like they have to vote for Romney. Take your lies somewhere else. We know better. [/quote]
