Nice smiley!
So you wouldn't vote for a pro homo
pro abortion socialist... but if you had a vote would you vote in the US elections at all? If so, for whom?

Well, apparently not. Win or lose, very roughly, half of the voters will support him and given that many members here do support him I can only imagine that they will turn a blind eye to abortion and LGBT rights for another four years.

Alan Keyes.

He was a good, strong opponent to Barack Obama, or so I have just read.
Quite a few Brits don't bother to vote in elections if they cannot choose from the candidates or parties standing, but some others abstain by going to vote and writing the name of a favourite, or crossing more than one box....... they abstain but put in the effort to demonstrate support for the system.
Fair enough.
I will always have a fondness for Keyes, who may be the only presidential candidate in history to have dived into a mosh pit and crowd-surfed.
I hauled this mosh pit around Iowa in a large flatbed truck, crisscrossing the state and inviting the Presidential candidates to join the teeming and tattooed masses. The response from the candidates varied from a stunned and frightened Steve Forbes (who quickly walked by the pit giving it a nervous thumb up), to front-runner George W. Bush (who told me, "behave yourself, Michael -- I see you're up to your old tricks -- why don't you go get a real job?") Gary Bauer, on the other hand, called the Des Moines police -- who sent five cruisers and a paddy wagon to arrest the pit. The police, though, could not contain their laughter when they arrived and saw the group of purple-haired, pierce-lipped, 18-year olds jumping wildly in place to the music of Rage Against the Machine.
Next, we drove over to a town hall event being staged by former Reagan ambassador, Alan Keyes. As the mosh pit rolled into the parking lot, with Rage music blaring ("It has to start somewhere/ It has to start sometime/ What better place than here/ What better time than now..."), Keyes staffers came outside to see what all the noise was about. When informed that Keyes could get the endorsement of "The Awful Truth," Keyes' national field director dove into the pit, hoping that would suffice for our support. He then brought out "Uncle Sam," a Keyes supporter who was dressed in full Uncle Sam regalia. He, too, jumped in. But we told the Keyes staff that it had to be Keyes himself. Minutes later, Alan Keyes emerged and, against the loud protests of his Secret Service agent, Keyes climbed to the top of the makeshift stage on the back of the truck and dove backwards into the screaming mosh pit. He then body-surfed the entire pit, carried like a wave on the outstretched hands of the tightly compact crowd. He did a couple of body slams with a spiked-hair youth from Ames High School and left the pit with the official endorsement of the show.

You have to love a candidate like that. And yes, I voted for him. Moore was as good as his word,and officially endorsed Keyes, BTW.
