OT: Who are you voting for

[RVJ]

I just have to know. I might bump it a few times to get the majority of TBD members.

By the way, it's still shocking to me that people would consider voting for Bush. We now KNOW that there were no WOMD, but instead of waiting for UN help, Dubya had to go in. It was like a kid who couldnt wait for christmas to open his present... But, its not that big of a deal. Only 1,000 of our finest died for very little gain.

 

Either way, I'm voting to get Bush out, not really voting for Kerry.

[KRC]

I think it is obvious who I am voting for in this election.

Two Questions:

 

1) How do you actually write in a vote? Is there a blank spot for it I missed?

 

2) Did you actually register in some way to run?

 

3) Is this just a joke I'm missing

 

4) Is there anywhere you can go to see if you got any votes

 

5) Why did you do all this?

[Johnny Coli]

I never thought I would despise any president more than I despised Reagan. Adios Dick and George.

I am voting for "None of the Above"...anyone guess what movie that is from????

1) Each county has a different process for write-in candidates. It would be impossible for me to accurately answer this question for every county. Your local Board of Elections can help with the exact procedure.

 

2) Nope. The way the current election system is set up, it makes it more difficult for anyone outside the "Big Two" to run for office. The amount of money required, signatures required in each state, along with various other regulations discourage anyone outside of R's and D's to run. By running as a write-in candidate, I bypass all of the BS.

 

3) Nope, no joke. I am officially running.

 

4) Yup, but it might take a while. Every write-in vote is counted.

 

5) There are three types of people in this world: those who B word but still vote for one of the "Big Two," those who don't care, and those who B word but actually do something about it. I am part of the last group. I am tired of the BS from both of these parties and neither candidate, IMO, have the qualities that I want in a President. Therefore, I am running. Both of these parties are running the country into the ground. I am tired of it, and want to do something about it. If nothing else, I hope my campaign will show people that there are more than two candidates running in this election and nothing will change if you continually vote for the "lesser of two evils." We need to send Washington the message that they are screwing up this country, and we are not going to take it anymore.

OK, thanks...

 

I would write you in, but I dont want my biggest fear to come true. That voting for you is like voting for Bush. I think Kerry needs all the Florida votes he can get.

Well, you need to vote for who you think is the best candidate. Voting for Kerry is not going to make things better, it is just another face on the same problems.

 

1) People rip Bush for the deficit, but if you look at Kerry's plans you will see that he has yet to point out how he plans to pay for everything. Rolling back the tax cuts for the "rich" does not pay for even 1/4 of the new spending he is proposing. His "plan" will do nothing more than increase the deficit (unless he raises taxes on the middle class).

 

2) Kerry's foreign policy is absolutely frightening. I could go into a long diatribe just on North Korea, but I will spare everyone here.

 

3) Kerry said that he will get more international support for Iraq, but the two major suppliers of that support (Germany and France) have already said that they refuse to send troops to Iraq, regardless of who is President.

 

I could go on, but I will spare the people here.

Hey Jack - Mr Sirius representative. Know where I can get a REALLY good deal on one?

 

Here are my requirements:

I am pretty positive I will be voting for Michael Badnarik, Libertarian candidate for president.

[ajzepp]

I think it's embarrassing that of all the great individuals in this country, we are left to decide between Bush and Kerry.

[mary owen]

i'm more of a Libertarian, but if I vote that way, Kerry gets the advantage. No way I can live with that guilt on my head. The worst Bush is still better than the best Kerry. I say we give Bush 4 more years. stevestojan, the Dems had a sexual predator in office for 8 years who sat by and let terrorists push us around while being a good little doggy for the UN. But Bush is supposed to achieve all goals in 4 years. Don't get me started.

I am not surprised by the tally so far, bunch of bleeding %^&*ing hearts in Buffalo!! So many people get brainwashed from birth by the left wingers that they wouldn't understand common sense if it came up and slapped them upside the head. You would think that the people in Buffalo area would have woken up by now, after getting taxed to death and screwed by the liberals for the last 30 years, and tried to change their Democratic liberal voting. I guess not. Geesh!!!!!!!!

I honestly think the war is the key issue here. I don't think anyone can see past that. I am one of those. And I'm voting for Kerry. ( I voted for Bush last time, and I apologize to the world for that).

Bush. I'm in the military and it's easy for people to sit back and judge. Kerry will NOT be a good leader for this country.

National Defense is my primary issue as well. Senator Kerry would be a disaster of great proportions. What I fear, as with most things, Kerryites will never go past the soundbites, and the Bush administration for a variety of reasons doesn't market themselves right. They need to be explaining the dynamics of things, and just why Kerry's soundbites are the wrong approach.

 

Anything past this needs to go to the PPP.

Edwards and his little Clintonesque "thumbkin" moves are a riot to analyze. When he really gets torqued, he goes to the dreaded "double directional thumbkin".

The only thing i think Bush has going for him is that he wont ever make a huge mistake (not waiting for UN support) before going to another war (god forbid). I think even he realizes he fu-ked up.

Seriously, the major problem here is that the average American has absolutely no clue as to what this war is all about. Kerry is taking advantage of that fact by playing to the masses. He HAS no plan, and what he has suggested as one will have half the world speaking arabic by 2015. Bush's camp can't articulate the situation because it can't be done in soundbites, and many of the successful aspects can't be talked about anyway.

Now look at North Korea. The IAEA begged the UNSC to address the North Korean nuclear situation. The UNSC refused to even address it.

 

Now look at Haiti. The French were begging the UNSC to address the situation. Well after the US, French and a few others had the situation underway, the UNSC finally got up off of their asses to address the situation.

 

Now look at the Sudan. They have yet to do anything other than pass resolutions that say nothing more than "abide by this resolution, or we will pass another resolution."

 

I could go on and on, but you get the point. The UN refused to do what was necessary. We shall see how things shake out with the Oil For Food scandal. This might shed some light on why they were so intent on delaying things as long as possible.
