http://www.mckinney2008.com/PRESIDENT/

Nader and Keyes need to just retire.

As for Libertarians...what is Ron Paul doing?

Ron Paul has said numerous times that he would not run as anything but a Republican. The fact that people are still shocked that he isn't the libertarian candidate astounds me.

I agree with the socialist platform, but Brian Moore isn't on the ballot in my state, and in addition is a fucking idiot. It also doesn't help that all he does is say "what we need to do" without laying out any plans to actually do it.

Obama is getting my vote, and I'm excited that in my first election I'll get to vote for a candidate that I actually like rather than supporting the lesser of two evils.

I work at a democratic party telemarketing center and I have talked to a lot of people who supported Clinton and because they are butthurt about her losing, they are voting for McCain.

Anyone who votes for McCain is an IDIOT and anyone who was a Democrat and then voted for McCain is a RETARD.

Around primary time, CNN was fond of showing a statistic that said that in 2000 something like 85% of McCain supporters said they would vote for Gore after Bush won the nomination, but when the actual general election rolled around, only like 5% of them actually did.

I don't pay attention to the polls too much. It wasn't awhile ago that Obama had a 12 point lead and all the democrats I knew were bragging that it will be a landslide. Now it's within the margin of error in an LA Times poll and Reuters has McCain winning by 5 points.

are you a republican red raider? and if so who are you supporting?

I'm probably biased because he's a local senator (philly metro) but Biden owns and I can't wait to vote for him and the O-man

I'm an independent who wants McCain to win.

I was already gonna vote for Obama, but I was set to be so fucking amped if he picked Evan Bayh as his running mate. Alas, it was not to be.

This election's just going to suck all around.

A nigger or a geezer. THE CHOICES ARE OVERWHELMING!

It's because the Libertarian label was the source of his fame. He was known as the Libertarian running as the crazy Republican, and switching parties (Like Joe Lieberman) was in his best interest.



I was actually pulling for Kathleen Sebelius. >_>

And did Biden vote for the war? I know Bayh did.



Why, because we have a candidate with integrity? Who do you want in the White House? You're gonna start sounding like some 14-year-old who wants anarchy.

Take your dumb ass back to 4chan.

I can't remember the last White House candidate with integrity. That word doesn't exist in politics.

I just want a candidate I can feel good about getting behind, and I wouldn't go anywhere near either Obama or McCain. It has nothing to do with wanting anarchy.

lol what the fuck is a sarah palin, worst VP choice ever

Picking Palin makes so much sense when it comes to winning the election. Palin is a female who may attract Hillary's supporters. Not the extreme feminists but the ones in rural America such as Ohio or Pennsylvania. Palin's biggest weakness is also Obama's so if Obama criticizes Palin then he hurts himself too. It also stole whatever Obamamentum that was coming from the DNC completely.

I wouldn't trust this woman to give me directions to the nearest gas station, god damn.

EDIT: http://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/story?id=5687512&page=1 A real gem, this one.

It's almost like McCain is trying to lose.

Palin's a bit of a milf, eh?

These criticisms are the same ones that are directed to Obama. No experience, lack of detail on the issues.
We'll be having interns as president or vice president. One will be learning from Biden and the other from McCain.

Never been.

Palin is a Grade-A wack-job. God help us should 1)McCain win and 2) Something happens to him and she takes over as President

Haha, I thought so too.



Also, I just have a feeling that the old man is gonna win and die and this woman is the anti-christ.

Looks like Palin belonged to an Alaskan secessionist group while on the city council of of Wasilla...

7 years in the senate = no experience mirite

Holy shit, it's Muzz.

Post moar.

Does any Obama fans want to do a sig bet? Loser has to keep the sig for the next four years after election day.

i dont think this board is going to last for four years

i will vote for the candidate that plays rock band on live television first

Palin actually does a better job of attracting white men, as opposed to women.

As for biggest weaknesses, I'll argue that Obama has more experience than Palin. All Palin learned to do was get federal funding in sparsely populated areas; some of which McCain himself even fought against. Not that experience counts for as much as we wish it did: We have some experienced guys in the white house fucking everything up. I can think of many "experienced" people whose judgment I wouldn't trust.

Usurper would you like to do a sig bet for four years?

No, I'd like you to show some fucking knowledge of the topic you're posting in.

Ooooh an ad hominem attack. Someone is getting touchy.

I'm here to talk about issues, and not your silly "sig bets", so don't act like you adhere to rules of formal debate. :-D

That being said, what do you make of McCain's call to regulate wall street, after refusing to do so for decades?

oh yes all over me

john mccain's health care plan is to remove tax breaks for companies that offer insurance for their employees and tax health benefits as income

yeah that sounds like it'll work

Oh, snap, I wasn't even aware of the taxing health benefits as income. McCain gets the best health care ever, courtesy of the government, but doesn't want to even attempt having half the benefits for everyone else. If you're getting taxed $100 a month for better or equal health care that costs $200 in the private sector, it's win-win.

Haven't seen much actual video of McCain talking till now. He's...kind of a slimeball.

Big difference between 3 months left and one month left my boy

I will do a sig bet with you for 4 years.

lol is this place even gonna be here for

FOUR
MORE
YEARS

?!?!

Probably not, but who cares, I know I will win.
