Who will you vote for?

[gnomon]

In last couple of election, many people voted for George W. Bush because he said he 'wouldn't' do this and that. Instead of voting for someone who 'won't' do anything, how about voting for someone who will do something. What do you think?

I'm voting for myself.

Honestly, only Ron Paul actually talks about what can be done in the confines of executive power while all the rest either knowingly talk about continuing the restriction of our liberties (Republicans) or offer us stupid little promises that are not the power of the executive to enact (Democrats).

Actually, what we need is someone who won't expand the drug war. Someone who won't interfere in foreign matters. Who won't continue down this raid putting even more Americans in prison. Who won't ruin local economies with over expansive health care or immigration plans.

The federal government has been doing too much for too long. Other than eliminating laws currently on the books I don't want officials promising to do anything.

I can never vote because I have a felony record. For those of you who are busting to know why, I hid a Chinese family in my place of residence and told the officials that I didn't know what they were talking about, well they hand cuffed me called me some rude names threw me in jail for 3 days until I could see the judge and my lawyer said I could win the case (humanitarian reasons) for $25,000 or plea bargain for a year probation and $2,000 fine, I took the plea as I didn't have $25,000 for a trial.

 

[blackout]

I vote for the power of the individual.
Here in-lies the greatest good,
and the greatest potential power.

The only hope for TRUE world peace,
is for each INDIVIDUAL in the world,
to find true peace and personal expression
within their own "self".

That is why I don't vote for "leaders" and governments.

My non-vote,
is a vote for the greatest good.
(as I percieve it)
A vote for a world of self empowered, creative,
free thinking individuals,
who forge their OWN unique realities,
together... as one family in Life.

Under no man's rule.

Anyone who will get us out of the Occupation of Iraq and keep us out of new wars.

Promises about the former are empty. Either way we go in Iraq, we are ****ed

Stupid Democrats. Screw Clinton and Obama; Kucinich should get the nomination. Of course that won't happen.
Of the two (No chance for Edwards), I prefer Obama. Only real reason is his release of a general policy plan.

 

[kadzbiz]

I'd be interested to know how the political demographic would look if voting in the USA became compulsory.

 

[Jayhawker Soule]

Hillary Clinton.

 

[ChristineES]

I am not sure who to vote for. I want us out of Iraq for sure. I want our economy fixed up.
That said I was thinking of voting for Obama. I don't want to vote for Hillary Clinton, sorry. (I am not party affiliated, so I can't really vote in the primaries)

 

[Shadow Wolf]

If Ron Paul makes the ballot, then I will definitely vote for him. If not, Obama is really the only other one I would want to vote for.
Anybody remember what website it is so you can check on a candidates position on certain issues?

Probably more liberal. A lot of young people stay home and play their Nintendos or what-have-you instead of voting, and youth tends to vote on the left side of the spectrum when they do vote.

Kucinich has pointed out that he's the only candidate who would foresee getting out of Iraq before 2013. (He's also pointed out that the Democratic-controlled Congress could have had us out of there already if they really wanted to.)

Under those circumstances, I would think the odds of convincing a judge to restore your voting rights would be pretty good.

 

[Izdaari]

I'm going to assume the Republican nominee will be McCain and the Democratic nominee will be Obama. I think both of those are a pretty safe bet at this point.

It's a tough choice for me: I would prefer someone much more conservative than McCain, preferably in a libertarian way, and I don't like or trust McCain much at all. I'm especially repulsed by his campaign finance reform, McCain-Feingold, which I consider an unconstitutional restraint on freedom of speech. However, I do generally agree with his foreign policy views, and especially on Iraq. OTOH, though I don't agree with Obama on much of anything having to do with policy, I like the man very, very much. Except that he's a committed left-liberal, pretty much the opposite of me, he's almost my ideal candidate.

For the first time I can remember, I'm undecided. I could vote for McCain, Obama, or the Libertarian nominee (yet to be determined). I'll watch the campaign carefully and decide.

Not only do I want Obama to win in the General, I want him to win in Texas and Ohio next Tuesday so Hillary will go away. I've already seen how low the Clintons will go to win power, and I don't want to see anymore. Time to clean house.

Amen!

Amen and amen! :shout

 

[nutshell]

So say we all.

 

[Yes Man]

:cover: I am not looking forward to the next four years.

 

[OutOfTime]

none of them. maybe Ron Paul but they won't allow him to be nominated. i don't like these candidates, they're all new world order puppets. barack obama will probably win and be assassinated (not cos he's black). they're only different on the outside representing the status quo, they're the same on the inside.

also our election system is just as corrupt and possibly rigged as those countries we frown on.

 

[Darkness]

I am a Libertarian, so Ron Paul is the obviously choice for me.

I feel like slapping myself. My political understand has evolved somewhat and now I see that Ron Paul is a false Libertarian (first clue, he is against same-sex marriage). I cannot say if I will vote for McCain or Obama till I step in that voting booth.

 

[Smoke]

There's always Mike Gravel. If the Libertarians nominate Gravel, I'll vote for him.

If the Libertarians nominate Bob Barr and the Greens nominate anybody but Cynthia McKinney, I'll vote for the Green candidate.

If the Libertarians nominate Bob Barr and the Greens nominate Cynthia McKinney, I'll vote for Obama. Or Clinton. Whatever.
