Vote For Nobody - 2012

Pretty good work.

As the credits roll there is one more shot in the last 3 seconds.

NOBODY 2012

We, the Anti-Electorate, do not believe there is a need for “strong leadership” in government.  We are not drawn to “intellectual” authorities and political “heroes.”  We are not impressed with titles, ranks, and pecking orders – politicians, celebrities, and gurus.  We do not struggle for control of organizations, social circles, and government.  We do not lobby the State for favors or permission to control those with whom we disagree.  Rather, we advocate freedom.  By its very nature, the State does not.

Nobody, indeed. Check out this AWESOME piece of work by Luke Rudkowski. He asks Obama supporters about Romney's crazy policies (except they're actually Obama's policies). You can talk about sample size and whatnot, but this is just astounding.

Sorry, I am one of those who believe Romney is the lesser of two evils. I believe this because Romney has made his money (even if you don't like how he earned it). Romney was at the top of his game in business, he has been at the top in his faith.
Romney realizes that we are in trouble and he does not want his children and grandchildren living in continued debt. I believe Romney can turn the economy around even if only because he will be more friendly to busniess. Romney took no salary for his time as Governor and he donated his salary for the Olympics to charity. He will donate his salary as President. This isn't a man looking to make money from the Presidency. If anything, Romney will take pride in changing the economy because he does not believe in failure.

You don't need to explain or apologize. I respect everyone's views. We tend to go overboard with the comedy sometimes. But I understand what you're saying.

[SKINFLINT]

Personally you could go with more comedy. Laugh until you cry, because your gonna cry anyway, just for a different reason.

I love the Comedy, I just feel strongly that we need a different direction. Voting for nobody, will give Obama another four years.

Badkgammon, You could vote for somebody, but what if your somebody and everyone elses somebody turns out to be the somebody that the electoral college doesn't want. Then you have wasted your vote. Just sayin.

Joy Camp has a bunch of other vids posted and they are really good as well, in case anyone is interested.

Skinflint: You are absolutely correct. I apologize, I didn't mean YOUR vote won't count. I've been playing with the numbers and I don't see how a 3rd party could WIN. But, I would love to hear your ideas.



In this particular election few as 100 votes could elect Obama or Romney. However, 100,000 votes will not get Jill Stein, Gary Johnson, Rocky Anderson or Virgil Goode, elected.

In November 2010, out of 228,820,000 people with at least an elementary school education, 41.9 percent reported voting. Use the appropriate parameter from Table 4 and formula (2) to get

Illustration 2

Percentage that reported voting (p) 41.9

Base (y) 228,820,000

b parameter (b) 2,945

Standard error 0.18

90-percent confidence interval 41.6 to 42.2


CNN polling shows that support for Obama and Romney changes little when third party candidates are factored into state races, said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.

Voting third party makes you hip and edgy, but it does not make you a pioneer for "the truth". Without a sufficient number of supporters, all efforts just amount to stomping. The two titan parties, while not perfect, will always win out in the end, one way or another. At least for right now. If you're serious about wanting to change things,you would need to start working now, for 2020.

You would need Billions of dollars, (soon a billion or more) thousands of people, thousands of offices, you would need a squeaky clean candidate, you need big doners who create Super Pacs, you need a hook (the thing no one has seen) and you would need a great orator.

Right now, according to polls (which are another story), only 2% left for 3rd party

Just 8 more days. Unless of course Ohio is disputed and we wait an extra week for their results. Saw something on that possibility earlier today.

[S. Gompers]

In Ohio Steve, all things are possible during election season, it is all about who has the money, time, access, and keys to the graveyards...

I just don't get the idea that voter fraud does not exist. Of course it exists. Both sides pander to it and there seems to be no way around it unless they get real with anti fraud measures. Hell, you can't discuss your cell phone bill without a password and you can't be close and be wrong. Backgammon. We would need for starters to rid ourselves of the Electoral College, which, at least in this state goes to folks who are entrenched in their respective parties. Though most of them sign documents that they will be punished should they cede their vote to the least popular candidate, rarely has this been enforced. Don't know if that would mean a constitutional convention or not. Secondly, we need to rid ourselves of the DOE. This should be evident. This monstrosity does nothing for the education of our children. Teach them REAL history. The history of money is the history of this country. The infrastructure would have to be put in place most assuredly. Don't know about a good orator, though that would probably help. I mean look at George Jr. He just looked totally uncomfortable speaking and Jimmy Carter wasn't all that fun to watch. Ron Paul was OK as a speaker, but certainly had the message. There would have to be an alternative media as well, I suppose to even the playing field. Even with the news that is available to many people, it kills me to hear folks talk in sound bites. Anyway, just a couple of thoughts. Take care and I will try to post some stuff on the electoral college.
