Poll: United States Presidential Election

[Spartan Bannana]

I don't think Obama will win because all the oil companies hate him and because of the electoral college. Also, even though I want him to win, if he does he'll probably have the most assassination attempts on a single president.

One more thing, I really hope Mcain doesn't win, because if we elect him, we're really just electing Palin, I give him two years in office, tops, before he croaks.

 

[asleep at the comp]

barock obama will win and if he dose he will most likely be shot by someone who is racist. or if macain wins he will go "I did it i became president i wil- ugh gasp" the die from a heart attack

Hopefully McCain, a liberal republican is better than a Marxist I'd say.

Obama has to be good (and by good, I mean he thinks ahead and plans). His tactics did beat Hilary. You know, the whole "I may not take the state but I'll take as many parts as I can(Speaking of which, I wonder how many of you voted for her...).

McCain, as far as his ads shown (plus the college republicans here have been campaigning for a few days), is trying too hard to push the "Obama is too inexperienced" deal, and the taxes. Even so, he wins points for me for committing to the environment (avoiding ANWR, renewable energies, etc., although I mainly see him just pushing the "I am en environmentaliss!" campaign), even though he knows it'll lose him points with Republicans.

Either way, I think either would be better than Bush. Yuck. The only good thing I think he did was beat Al Gore and give him enough free time to win the Nobel Prize.

He's not a Liberal Republican, he's a pure military realist (aka paranoid - I hate the word realist, it stinks of propaganda)

He is liberal in many things, environmental issues, he supported McCain Feingold(which took free speech from elections) IE you can only donate X amount towards a campaign to which i have to say it's my money why should the government tell me what i can spend it on. He supports more government regulation on private industry. Compared to someone like romney or frist when he was a senator he is a raging liberal.

1. Tap malicious citizens by feeding them bullshit rumors they will spread.
2. Malicious citizens then infect people too stupid to know better with said bullshit.
3. Align with special interest groups (more organized herds of sheeple).
4. Malicious citizens, stupids, and special interest groups work in tandem, creating an exponentially bigger pile of shit.
5. Swing undecided voters with "the majority's" big pile of shit and star power of candidates.
6. Use the Chewbacca Defense and information overload on every issue, so people no longer know what the fuck is really going on or so they eventually just stop caring.
7. Fear.

...I think that about covers the whole McCain/GOP strategy.

Sad thing is, it's so damn effective.

It worked really well for Goebbells and the nazi party.

With the way things are going downhill with the economy I don't project either of the candidates being viewed very favorably at the end of their term(s). Neither of them will be able to magically make things better, so they'll be a victim of the time more than anything.

Smart lady, but you're forgetting that making things better is the secondary goal; blaming things on the other party is the primary goal.

That's generally how I feel. I don't like McCain, but I'd rather have him then the political Disney movie that is the Obama campaign *Ben Afleck got it half right, Palin's isn't the only fairy tale out there.*
Personally, I'd rather see Ron Paul as president, but if wishes were airplanes, I'd have an airport.

I don't want to vote for Obama for a couple reasons. But I absolutely wont vote for him for one: his support base, aggravates me. There's a lot of of an ego going around in the camp of his supporters.

I think that Obama is a pompous jerk, but if I prefer his policies I'd vote for him (if I could vote). We don't need people voting for who they want to have a beer with again.

 

[WhiteHowl]

To be honest can I say that neither of them have any idea what they are doing. On the one hand McCain supports the tax relief bullshit that Bush pulled out and so the first year of his term will be wait and see, and then if nothing goes right he'll turn to his policy makers and ask them "what should we do," and they'll do something stupid that would be worthy of Bush

On the other hand Obama is so wishy washy of every he's made that it'll be the end of the wealth and power of the super nation that was the US (I say this mainly because we managed to be one of the wealthiest countries in the world, but still have the average intellegence of a monkey with down syndrome)

I really have to question the logic of the people in congress. They get 2 of what may possibly be the worst candidates for a presidential election, a guy who has no idea what he's doing and Bush. Don't feed me that bullshit that "he's nothing like Bush," he's an older and possibly more senile version of Bush, he picked a woman who has bearly any experience of governing a city, let alone second in line for President, and let me remind you that McCain is 72, he may die or at least be hospitalized during his term, which will result in much chaos, which will screw our country over even further.

Honestly, I think Obama is a decent guy. I'm not so sure about his voters though.

nothings gonna work unless we have a congress and a president of the same party
lemme point out that the taxes will affect you if you make over 250,000

Yes, and will be passed on to the "little guys" in the form of higher costs, less competition (private business owners will suffer GREATLY), greater unemployment, and more relocation of key American businesses overseas.

If you're wondering what the medical field will look like after universal health care is approved, take a look at the current American education system: it has become the consequence of too much government control. Yes, I currently am voting Republican. Yes, I know W. signed No Child Left Behind into law...but once everyone got their hand and their say on what the average American student should know, it became all about teaching to the lowest common denominator. Are the Demos really going to be that different? AND...do I really want that kind of doctor thirty years from now????

The main move I can credit Obama with is taking the trip to Iraq to mask his change his antiwar policy on Iraq after he defeated Clinton: it was deftly and brilliantly done at the proper timing. However, he blundered when he stated that no one could have predicted the positive repercussions of the surge- Bush and associates would never have done it if they did not predict these changes. However, trying to negotiate with Iran, Syria, Korea, and China will be very difficult for him if he will not except that war is a necessary consequence of failed negotiations. He won't come out and say it, because it will alienate his left wing core.

Oh, by the way.

NOW (National Organization for Women): "Sarah Palin is NOT Hillary Clinton."

In response to this I think of a single word: WHITEWATER.

I must agree.
