I voted Romney, but let's be honest here...NO ONE in Hawaii voted for President. That's just how its always been and will always be. A "winner" is almost always declared wayyy before our polls close. Our 4 Electoral Votes are so measly that no candidate has bothered to actively campaign here. So let's not fool ourselves, you could've written in Elvis Aaron Presley, Santa Claus, or the frick'n Easter Bunny and it wouldn't make a lick of difference.


***ETA: I'm not saying we shouldn't vote, just that voting for a National race in Hawaii is purely symbolic.

Not that it matters, but jill stein cause at least she had enough balls to go get herself arrested.

No hate here. As long as your vote was informed, cast knowing how you want the country run and who you feel aligns himself/herself with your view, I can't hate on that.

I voted for Gary Johnson.

I also voted Johnson. Poll edited to add him

If I had been in a swing state, I would have voted Romney.

I gotta say I have a love hate relationship with politics.  Its like a car accident that happens infront of you, you can't but help watch the carnage.  I gotta say this years republican sucked as a choice, I love McCain of the 80s and 90s.  If they had a better candidate he would he beat Obama.  As for Romney and gun law if I'm not.mistaken he's from mass and their gun laws are super strict and he did little to fix them (correct me if I'm wrong).  If Tad Nugget ran he'd get my vote cause he'd ensure every kid be born with a gun in their hand.
I voted for the person who aligned with most my social issues.

I also voted Johnson. Poll edited to add him

If I had been in a swing state, I would have voted Romney.

If Ron Paul wasn't run out of the convention he would have kicked Romney's silver-spoon ass. Gary was a weak replacement, especially given his support of the prison industrial complex, which is just another handout to special interests. Welfare for the prison-state.

That is the name that slipped my mind good ole Ron Paul!

I'm just saying, that Obama got more votes on a gun forum poll than Romney did in a whole slew of precincts.  That seems pretty goddamn strange to me.  In fact, it seems more than strange.  It seems like something from that movie "The Dictator" with Sasha Baren Cohen.   

List of precincts reporting 99-100% voter support for Obama, or >100% voter turnout

Remember the memes that went around after the Russian elections?  One comes to mind:

 

Ron Paul's Farewell Speech 11/14/2012 where he summarizes what the political realities are for the US.

Something very interesting about voting, courtesy of Doug Casey.  I suggest reading the entire interview.  It's very intriguing opinion.  BTW, I voted Gary Johnson.  The reason?  Because I agree with Libertarian ideology, or at least what they represent in America (i.e. Ron Paul) much more than I agree with Republicrats.  Er, I mean, Demopublicans.  Sorry, I just can't get it right.

Unions and government, don't trust either. Look at Hawaii, the unions won this election for Caldwell. The rail wont help traffic and all of those billions of dollars could have been put to far better use. Roads and infrastructure are an obvious choice as well as investing in tourism. The US economy is in the can, but Hawaii could capitalize on it's money maker, especially with Asian countries on the rise. The problem is unions have figured out that they can vote themselves a bigger piece of pie, and because they have gotten so powerful the trend will continue until nothing is left. Increased tourism would benefit the entire state via the trickle-down effect instead of the rail only benefiting a few. If Hawaii really wanted to relieve traffic congestion it would focus on road maintenance/expansion. Look at the stretch of freeway between Pali and Punahou, something as simple as lane restripping has definitely cut down on traffic in the area. Imagine the funds for the rail put to use in increasing roadway efficiency and expansion. Instead those funds will go to a project that will do nothing for the state except provide a few jobs and make a few people very wealthy.
