In being realistic, either Romney or Obama will be president, so I'll chose the lesser of two evils and vote Obama, but I might just slip and vote for Jill Stein.

Well I agree do to the environment of our current political system, yes it will be Obama or Mitt.

I like where Jill is on a lot of issues but I also think she is extreme and unrealistic BUT then again IMO 3 party candidates usually are because they can be
 
I am gonna vote for Jill Stein just so I dont feel guilty.

I think that's because the status quo the Republicans and Democrats have created don't allow for certain ideologies, and those ideologies are often seen as "unrealistic" or illogical simply because they go against the traditional majority.
 
I am going to vote Not Obama
 
It would be cool if we had a Obama/Stein ticket.

hhhmm not really in her case in my opinion.

-close 140 military bases

-Demilitarize border crossings

-Create a nuclear free zone in the Middle East region and require all nations in area to join Initiate a new round of nuclear disarmament initiatives. and BUT also Cut the bloated Pentagon budget by 50%. End use of assassination as an instrument of U.S. foreign policy, including collaborative assassination through intermediaries. Demilitarize U.S. foreign policy to emphasize human rights, international law, multinational diplomatic initiatives and support for democratic movements across the world. Oppose attacks on nuclear facilities. Ban use of drone aircraft for assassination, bombing, and other offensive purposes.

not sure how you do the things above at the same time?

some other quirky stuff im not sure i could support until i knew more or seen her directly talk about them to better understand them.
 
This poll sucks. Why did you make it so you can choose multiple candidates?

LOL and why does it suck, anyway the answer to your question is EASY, its multiple because of the question. "Who are you voting for or might/could you vote for?" :shrug:
 
Well I had planned to vote for Romney, cause I thought he was better than Obama.

But very recently (as in, the past day or so), I've suddenly started feeling this great disgust for both of them....


So I may just end up voting for this johnson guy.

Jill Stein is the lesser of all the evils.

Vote for her and let the Democratic Party know that you aren't going to put up with the bull**** that they get away with when in charge of the executive when, if a Republican was doing the same exact thing, they would be pulling bitchfests all over.
 
Debated for a long time on it, but eventually decided on Obama.

My state screws 3rd parties and doesn't allow write ins for presidential elections and I am not voting for Romney or Obama. So that section of my ballot will be blank or scribbled out and I will be voting in other races, and ballot issues.

I voted Romney, not because I like Romney, but I hate Obama more. Sad because I did vote for him in 2008, just because I hated the idea of voting to put Palin anywhere near the White House. I wish I could actually support a candidate once, rather than voting against a worse candidate.
 
The order the OP put the candidates in is revealing.

Oh great! A presidential candidate vowing to go to war against every country in the Middle East that won't submit to the candidate's will and fantasy reality. So let's rush to vote for the WAR CANDIDATE!!!

Oh, and to let 3 BILLION PEOPLE come to the USA - because we can't fill all the jobs here without them and to be nice to everyone!

that candidate is a nutcase.
