I met my good friend today to discus the election. I have decided to vote for Rebeca. Honestly I'm sick of both Republicans and Democrats. He made a good point of voting for the lesser evil. I would rather have a Republican than a Democrat. However, if enough people vote for Rebeca it will send a message, even if she does not get elected. I liked Coats until, I saw his position on the 2A. I'll never vote for a Democrat. So, that leaves one option for me. I'm not expecting much to happen though. It's going to take more than one election to change things. All we can do is vote, hope and pray for the best. Until our idiotic Government gets back to the roots of our founding Fathers nothing will change.
U.S. Patriot said:Right, because American companies employing Americans is a horrible idea. Instead, lets have everything made in China. Guess I'm a dick for thinking about our citizens over others. That's ok though, sometimes you just have to be a dick. I'm all for capitalism. At least have the dignity to keep money in your own country.

So, why are you voting for RSB knowing that if she were to be elected she would support this horrid foreign policy that you and I both disagree with? This is just a question out of curiosity. You post that you're voting for RSB then post several more times arguing against libertarian positions.
Libertarians are perfectly willing to see America weakened to promote their insane ideology. You've touched on one issue that has earned them their nickname as cowardly anarchists. Regulate absolutely nothing even if it makes us greater and more prosperous.
In the INGO poll, yes. INGO, for some reason, is a hotbed for libertarians. In the real world current polls have her with a miniscule percentage. Dan Coats is very likely to win by a landslide. I just hope, likely in vain, that when all the buzz around third party candidates being successful turns of to have been a pipe dream that libertarians rethink the effectiveness of their tactics and the virtue of their positions. Sadly, the lesson may come at the cost of the Republicans not taking as many seats as they would have if we had selected actual, viable Republican candidates in the primaries.
I won't hold my breath. In two years I expect them to start raving about the next set of candidates that have absolutely no chance of winning and, therefore, no chance of making any real difference on the financial, social and political problems facing this
country.

Let's see. Libertarian non-interventionist foreign policy is built on a Jeffersonian model.
During his presidency, Jefferson avoided war ... except for those Barbary Coast pirates that were disrupting our free trade with other nations. He sent in the marines!
Madison, the second of the Democratic-Republican party presidents successfully prosecuted the war of 1812 against England.
I don't mind a foreign policy that encourages non-interventionist principles until our interests are at stake.
Have you been asleep for the last decade? China is heavily invested in Panama and nothing has been done, nor does anything need to be done. Free trade is just that, free. Either you believe in it or you don't. The Chinese aren't invading Panama. They're doing business there. Just like American companies are. The idea behind non-interventionism is to not fight wars. Trade works much better.

So, what do you sugest?
Vote for a Democrat?
Vote for an anti 2a Republican?
Not vote?
You can not always agree 100% with any canidate. That's just a fact of life. All you can do is vote for who you think best represents your beleifs.
And when he votes contrary to your wishes it's too late. Keeping an eye on him sounds good in theory, but it all boils down to what are you going to do when he screws you? Write a sternly worded letter? I'm sure he's quaking in fear.I know. There aren't any really fantastic options in this race. My suggestion is to vote for Coats. Unless he is just blowing smoke to get elected it seems he may have got the message regarding his 2A voting record. My plan is to vote for Coats and keep a real close eye on him.

Attempting to claim any sort of moral high ground is impossible if you are voting for Dan Coats, so give it up and cast your sell out ballot.

I'm also voting for Coats. He will vote against the democrat agenda which must be stopped now. Hopefully the pundits are correct and the republicans retake the house and control the agenda. The only message any politician gets is when they are voted out. Libertarians picking up a bigger percentage will only send more democrats to Washington and hasten our destruction. I would gladly vote for RSB in the republican primary to send Sen. Lugar packing.I know. There aren't any really fantastic options in this race. My suggestion is to vote for Coats.
