Well every single political quiz I take I get paired with Guiliani so I guess him. I need to do some research on him though.

What about you?

Obama

I've gotten Gravel and Kucinich in candidate match quizzes so if either of them make it.

Umm. Are people taking political inclination quizzes online and basing their votes on that?

# 1: Gravel
# 2: Kucinich
# 3: Obama

Guiliani is a shitface. The guy fails, seriously.

Hilary and Obama.

I have no problems with the other Dem candidates. I also kinda like Edwards because he understands the need for separation of religion and the real world.

I know I sound like an idiot but some of the things ron paul said last night (youtube thing) made sense.

I like some of the republicans but the fact is they're religious and they all think that taxes are EVIL and just can't face the fact that helping people costs money.

Also, some of their views on abortion are fucking draconian.

I've already said I would look into his views more. When I do vote, I'm going to definitely do some research on all the candidates and hopefully everyone will do the same. Political quizzes are a start to an informed decision but it isn't and won't be the end all be all.

Speaking of which I did do some further research on him. While I do believe it's essential for us to stay in Iraq for as long as needed, he wants to wage war on Iran which makes me a bit weary of him. I think Iraq and Afghanistan are justified but going into Iran isn't.

fred thompson because hes a man and im a man

Ron Paul.

But although, while I like most of the ideas of his, there is a part of me where I just don't feel they can be implemented correctly. The states are not currently up to handle all the power he wants to put in their hands, and the havoc caused in the time to figure it all and get it right is ripe for abuse. Given that, I am still voting for him in the republican primary. He comes off as intelligent and well informed, and a lot of the policies he plans to implement, just make sense.

I wouldn't support any other republican, so on the democratic side it would probably be Kucinich, then Gravel, and then Obama. And yeah I know Kucinich and Paul are basically complete opposites on their ideas

Bill Richardson, he has the best credentials and experience for the job

And are you people joking about Kucinich? Hes a fucking idiot and incompetent in his career as a politician

I wasn't trying to insult you or imply that you were, I just had never thought of it before and suddenly the idea wouldn't surprise me.

Also, Frankie G's comment sounded pretty much like it...

I think I can safely say who this guy wont be voting for.


As for me, Ahmadenejad already got my vote.

I hate to be the guy that doesn't contribute to the topic at hand, but I might as well state that I don't vote/support anyone for the most part.

Kudos to him for pointing out that the holocaust was a joke

Obama

Ron Paul

I appreciate Ron Paul's clarity and honesty, but there's no way he could help America from the white house.

Source?

Source?

Being a dick is easy.

True. But I'm going to back up my statements.

And more . . .

Obama

...but really I'm pretty apathetic about politics, I might even forget to vote.

it's okay though, being gay & all I might as well not even have that right

That being said I'm not voting. All of the candidates suck balls.

Should I vote for turd sandwich or a giant douche

Is there ANYONE you'd like to see run besides Hitler?

Why the fuck would I want to see Hitler run?

what source do you need? his past as a politician doesn't require academic reasearch Bob, a google search is all you really need

go look up his past record as mayor of Cleveland and his career as representative, his time in office was riddled with incompetency as a mayor and has done nothing of merit in the house and holds no positions of leadership on any of important commitees in the house just a token subcommitee

since you don't know anything about his past as a politician why are you even consider him a good, viable candidate? are you just going off of his debates? debates are kind of pointless in the scheme of things other than to sell politicians, at no time will a president ever have to debate someone while in office

Sources to say Richardson has the best credentials, which is gay, since McCain and Biden still beat him in that department.

I don't know about that, both do have a lot more experience than him with being in office for such long times but Richardson's experience as a diplomat trumps theirs. He has positive experience working with countries, groups and areas, like Darfur, Israel, Palestinian Authority North Korea I think trumps theirs (Biden probably has second best experience in foreign diplomacy among the Democrats) I like is domestic record as governor of New Mexico too.

As for McCain, unless he or Guilliani win the Republican nomination I don't think the Republicans are going to stand a chance in the presidential race. I don'the has been very good in recent years like his part in the Keating scandal and how his campaign finance reform has pretty much bombed. Even if he wins, he would be the oldest president this country has ever seen.

I'm leaning towards Obama.

He is a change, and I think he can lead our country into a new direction. Also, he is electable. Unlike Kucinich, or Ron Paul or any other lower level candidate that people find interest in but will never draw enough voting support. And I really can't stand politicians that come off as politicians if you know what I mean.

Obama

My girlfriend and I heard Obama speak in person last month, and are going to see him tomorrow night. He's an AMAZING speaker and absolutely has our vote this coming Tuesday.

BTW, we went to see Hill-bot tonight -- AWFUL!

The Democrat

I can't complain.

Gravel but since he won't get any nomination Obama

I don't quite see how Obama is all that different from Hillary and Edwards, its one thing to be the candidate of change but he hasn't defined it yet. Almost all his positions are pretty much the same as those two. Sure he is a great speaker, but isn't that a shallow reason to support a leader?

Health care and immigration, for starters. Hilary flip-flopped on what to do with illegals (ex: drivers licenses), and she's avoiding talk of national health care plans like the plague.

All I know is I won't vote for any of the democrats.

I am pretty sure that Hillary won't be the 1st woman president, since she is just a pandering conniving democrat.

Obama is too soft, Ron Paul is too radical, Guliani is too bald

My pick for president in 08?

Chuck Norris.

Romney's bid for the Republican nomination is pretty much done, its down to a two horse race with McCain and Huckabee like the Democractic one has been for some time.

Guiliani is my man.

die in a fire, both of you

also, Giuliani has absolutely no qualifications to be president, and is a huge douche bag. DID YOU KNOW HE WAS MAYOR OF NYC DURING 9/11?!

Ron Paul is pretty nuts, the news gave him a free pass for his criticism of the Iraq War and Bush but it looks like he is a typical libertarian who has courted survivalist, conspiracy theorist, militia and southern secessionist elements for support through out the years he has been in office according to his monthly news letters that has been distributed for over thirty years in his district. These are groups that normal Republicans wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole and would be embarassed to be associated with.

McCain.

Fred Thompson dropped out, what horribly mismanaged campaign he had.

Kucinich dropped out

I think Paul, Edwards, Huckabee and possibly Guilliani willd drop out after Super Tuesday (if not sooner for Guilliani)

Paul might make a run on the libertarian ticket for president since his supporters raise a lot of money for him and he will have plenty left over ot continue campaigning, but he has no real chance of winning the Republican ticket.

Obama

I'm gonna support McCain like I did in 2000

I'm not voting.

I'm not voting, because no candidate strikes me as the one I want leading the free world.

I'm not voting, because not one candidate has proved that political agendas won't come before me.

I'm not voting, because not one candidate has shown an implementable, stable, scalable, passable - in other words, realistic - solution to just about any major problem.

I'm not voting, because every candidate is just as bad as the next.

I'm not voting, because I don't have an American citizenship

I was gonna say Jaime, aren't you an Israeli citizen?

Romney dropped out, even with Huckabee pretty much out of the race he couldn't pry away enough votes. McCain is pretty much a lock to win the Republican ticket.

Obama.

I feel that he is going to edge out Clinton in the pledged delegates, but Clinton will beat him because of superdelegates. This'll put the Democrats in a peculiar position, because I feel Obama has a better change of winning than Clinton. Clinton has too large of a population that will not vote for her. I feel that more Clinton supports would vote for Obama than Obama supports voting for Clinton.

Yeah they need Obama to win because Clinton shares too much supporters with McCain.

I also heard an interesting possibility on the Colbert Report by Sen Dole where he suggests McCain take Condoleeza Rice as VP. That'll put a wrench into things.
