Okay, so you are a republican. Great. That's why you should be a republican.

But say you are a democrat. An enemy of the R-party (@NetRunner.) Why would you be behind the enemy lines? Oh wait, because you can affect the most change from behind the enemy lines? Yes! Let's say you really fear Michele Bachmann. Problem is--she is a serious contender. But let's say you like Mitt or, better, Ron Paul... (@Yogi like I said, honesty right now is more important than actual policy...) Well, to bad because you are stuck voting within your party!

But why not get two votes? You know who will win the democrat's nomination, and even if he doesn't win, it will be someone better than Michele Bachmann or Rick Perry... So vote against them--twice. Once in the republican race, and once in the primary. Two for one. Then after the elections, switch back. I have asked @Duckman33 and although he hasn't committed, I think we agree there might be some reason behind this...

Think on this too. Ralph Nader sucked the votes from Al Gore. So why not put dupe accounts in the republican ranks? It's the same concept as to why you would create dupe accounts on the Sift... Not that anyway would; but it's a great concept when thinking tactics.

Can anyone tell me why this is a bad idea? And yet another great point--you can still support your candidate financially too!

Yes, I am pro-Paul. No, I don't think he will win. But every vote is leverage against the $$$'s that control our nation. Also, if elected, Paul's "extreme" policies will never get voted in. You will have the troops back per the commander in chief's orders but no gold standard. Pot laws not enforced from the federal level but still no tremendous cuts in medicare and medicade (Which Paul has said he wouldn't got for...) Abortion? He is against it, but he is pro-choice... Gay marriage? Freedom first baby! The only issue he won't be able to solve is having trials for War Crimes

So, yeah. I love Paul. But A-Every vote emboldens others like him. Rewarding honesty has its perks. B-You get what you want both ways. Two votes really. C-A blow to your enemy.

And if you vote for a different republican, that's fine too. Siphon the votes from who you cannot stand.

@dystopianfuturetoday < Just think on it.

See, us democrats, we want to change the world but argue about how to do it so much that we change nothing...band together for a change, take a plan and use it.
