Presidential Elections

[NOVAskim]

There are so many fuckin candidates, anyone know who they're voting for yet?

[SkimNate]

Not Hillary, Edwards, Romney, Or Ron Paul.

[SkimNate]

and not Giulani for that matter.

[BART]

i'm less concerned with specific political issues than mental clarity, ability to articulate well, leadership, and candor at this point. i mean, that should be the absolute minimum we expect from a president, yet the field is always filled with a bunch of players who don't qualify. people who rely mostly on voting for a few points on a political rubric run the risk of getting someone who believes those things but still has absolutely no business being president.

[ejb]

even tho i can't vote i would x out hillary. edwards. mccain. o'bama. and paul

obama just because his middle name is hussein and im gop all the way

edit: i hope mccain isnt either because before every speech he would have to remind us that he was in vietnam and he was a pow. gets old

[Dzan]

It would be the best thing ever if the reason you couldn't vote was because you were a felon.

[RexSkimmer]

maybe obama, edwards, paul, kucinich(sp?), and the NM govenor what's his name. i really dont know
maybe even huckabee for the lulz

[ejb]

i like the fact that i'm 16 better

[Billagan]

I kinda really like whats in the Constitution, so the only one that seems to even mention its value is Ron Paul.

[3rd Coast Skimmer]

Bill Richards... he's a good man.

Edit:: Richardson

Albuquerque is my home town and he has always represented NM well.
He has been a Representative, a U.S. Ambassador, and Governor.

He gets my vote.

is it tough not being a republican while living in texas?

[3rd Coast Skimmer]

is it tough not being a republican while living in texas?

Hell yeah!

People here are not smart enough to realize that he has screwed up at every turn.
They think that just because he is from TexAss and so are they, that he is the best thing to happen since sex was invented.

F'n Morons...

Oh, shit don't get me started....

[3rd Coast Skimmer]

OOps... I spelled his name wrong...

Fixed

[vicskim76]

my cousin works for Richardson. not sure what her title is though.

ps: my point still stands that 3rd coast is the only cool texan.

Thanks once again dude

[jake]

i turn 18 29 days after election.

but honestly, if i could vote, there is not one democratic candidate that i would vote for. MAYBE edwards, if i had to pick a dem. but huckabee seems like he would fit in just fine. but then again i dont know half the shit baout any of them just limited looking up to stay up in the world

[samcollett]

ron paul if he makes the ballot.

if not, huckabee.

[narwhal]

Ron Paul or Mccain

People I hate the most Huckabee and Hilary.

[Jim Gordon]

I like how Obama is the only one to admit he has tried drugs. It makes me want to trust him more than the others. Of course he has two things against him, his name and the color of his skin. When I see Obama I don't see a black person, a democrat or terrorists. I think this time around I want someone honest. Not someone who says he tried pot, but didn't inhale. Remember, politicians promise you everything but give you nothing. I'm still undecided, but so far I like Obama. But who knows? I may vote for a Republican in the end.

Hontesly for me its scary to think that Obama could be President. Not because he's black. Not because of the way his name rhymes with the FBI's most wanted. and Not because he can blaze that shit up. But because I AM AFRAID OF "OPRAH WINFREY"! She's investing all her money into his campaign in hopes that when he becomes EL President'A she will be repaid with a very powerful friend, who can pretty much make Harp'O look like a hotdog stand. I'm talkin about the MONEY. Although I got to respect her businesswoman Skillz. She surely knows how to deversify! But whatever...I attribute what I know frum watchin MAD TV....So I might be a lil Wacked :eek:

[Jim Gordon]

For me when I hear the the word politician, the first thing I think of is used car salesman. =(

Do you mean that his middle name is the same as the last name of a dead dictator?
I'm sure Oprah is definitely a risk to this nations security and place in the world. We can only hope that others wake up and realize this.

[Jim Gordon]

I still like Obama even though, Obama sounds like Osama. And his middle name is Hussein, like Saddam Hussein.:eek:

[tails]

what are other peoples opinions on obama? he seemed like a fairly down to earth person and if our prime minister is going to brown nose the us president again, i want a good american president! mind you our prime minister is now kevin rudd or "k-rudd" for all those cool politicians and hopefully wont try hold americas hand again

[Dzan]

ron paul if he makes the ballot.

if not, huckabee.

Must... refrain... from saying... anything...

[jake]

to me, obama just doesnt carry himself like he should, if he wants to be the most influential man in the world.

imo, fred thompson carries himelf more powerfully, he can commandyour attention, but he is a little too conservative.

[Jim Gordon]

I can see this thread turning into a big fight. So I think people should say what they like and dislike about the candidates. Now that would help people decide better. I know it would help me. Not by fighting.=(

[BART]

to me, obama just doesnt carry himself like he should, if he wants to be the most influential man in the world.i guess i see what you mean, but not completely. i think obama would be fine as a statesman and diplomat in terms of presence and character. its a give and take. you can play the stoic prez cliche role, but taken too far you lose a sense of candidness.

[3rd Coast Skimmer]

Bill Richardson's credentials speak for themselves.

His experience outweighs any other candidate.

As a Representative, he became very familiar with the inner-workings of the House, and to a lesser extent, the Senate... but definately understands how Congress works.

As a U.S. Ambassador, he became familiar with most of the foriegn dignitaries that are out there, knows and understands how to get things done with others that don't exactly have the same views as America.

And as Governor, he knows how to be President... because after all, a Governor is really just a President of a State.

He is also not Way Left... like a lot of the other Democrats, his views really resemble an Independant more than the others.

Do some research, you might find that he has always served the PEOPLE, instead of the Special Intrests and the Lobbiests.

[narwhal]

Fred Thompson is not even trying.

It's horrible he has this many points.

[DjMattyD]

Well he did have a reputation in the Senate as the laziest senator. I think he had one of the lowest attendance records.

[narwhal]

Yeah but that's almost normal for the average joe in Washington. But for someone who is rarely on the trail...he is in the middle of the field. This country is full of idiots.

likewise twin brotha

[Dzan]

I want Pre-2000 McCain to run vs Al Gore. Now we have sell-out religious right teet sucking McCain vs Hilary. What a let down.

[jesuslizardking]

i am amazed so many of you are even concerned, with your votes being inconsequential and whatnot. if i vote obama is my man because it feels so scripted.

[NOVAskim]

Bill Richardson FTW, his background gives him just the right qualifications to put this country back on track, and fix our foreign relations.

[Logan]

i havent really been paying that much attention. ill start watching and listening more as it gets closer to the election and narrowed down to 2 or 4 candidates. i had heard some of paul's ideas, and they seemed ok. then, i watched an interview with him and he is a babbling idiot. if i heard him contradict himself again, i was gonna puke. his speech giving ability would be sub-bush, and, although that doesnt really factor into me thinking he would be a good pres or not, it would get pretty annoying considering how much people make fun of bush for that kind of thing now.

[narwhal]

Are you kidding on comparing Bush and Paul on speaking abilities?

Let's see this video.

[Logan]

it was late at night, i cant remember what ch. it was on or anything. if i see it again, ill look it up. im not saying he made up words mid sentence like bush does, but he didnt really make sense a lot of the time when he was defending where he went back on his word from years or even weeks ago. he used technicalities like "i said i could; not i would" far too much IMO

[3rd Coast Skimmer]

strategery...

[narwhal]

Logan I say this because of this...

Paul published a book like all the candidates have...

His book was not something that was advised by political advisers like most of all the other books where. (I have read about half of the books out there...even Dennis K)

Ron Paul's book was this: Speeches made while in the House over the years. The speeches were taken right out of the records. The guy is not the most elegant (levels above Bush) but he has clear points which he does not have to read. (Bush reading what Rove would write) As a candidate I want a guy that comes off intellectual to the world community and Paul can do that. But besides an actor which in essence it sounds what you want...I want a guy that I can view his record and see he is a stable and clear thinking.

[SkimNate]

yeah i got the same feeling.

[Ryan Vaughan]

I really like Obama. I read both of his books and he seems like a pretty honest candidate with good intentions. He also doesn't take ANY PAC money. I think Paul and Kucinich are both very intelligent but would not make good leaders.

[Billagan]

Ron Paul is the ONLY Presidential candidate who hasn't Flip-Floped Political issues based on campagne strategy. Take a look at his Congressional voting record, and then take a look at some of the other candidates. Washington is run by Lobbyists and Special Interest Groups anymore. People should be more worried about weather their candidate will uphold this Countries, Founding, Governing, document (The Constiution) The One Paper that gave each one of us All the freedoms We have right now. Than such superficial issues as How likeable a candidate seems. I am not just Voting for Ron Paul, I am Voting for the IDEALS that he Campaigns for.

[DT]

People should be more worried about weather

I know, I hope this cold front moves out of here quickly!

Rule #6
If someone uses the phrase "flip flop" or calls someone "flip flopper" or any other such variation, you can disregard pretty much everything they have to say.

[Boom]

Well if i believed my vote actually counted for anything I would vote for Ron Paul. He is the only one who dosent have strings attached. The rest of the puppets make me sick.

[CasterTown]

Must... refrain... from saying... anything...

I'll say it for you:

ABSOLUTELY NOT HUCKABEE. It scares the fuckin shit out of me that huckabee is for real. Havn't people leared what happens when you let
a grossly uneducated, self-righteous bible freak run the world?

Right on. Attention slow adults in Iowa: if God wants to run the country he can come down and do it himself. Otherwise, lets continue to let humans run the country.

Men who believe that the Noah's Ark story was 100% literally true should not be given nuclear launch codes.

[Jim Gordon]

The news said today that Obama beat Clinton, because people want change.

[SkimNate]

its just 'cause hillary is hated by a lot of people.

[skimmer-x]

Go Fred go!!!

[Jim Gordon]

This is what I like about Huckabee, he tells good jokes and can play a mean bass. So I'm going for Huckabee.............JK

[narwhal]

I am going for Huckabee because I am a Christian. (greatest response)

I love that people don't even look at his record.

The majority of his support is coming from people who make the base of non intelligent. Anyone who truly looked at his record would not support him.

[Brian Kniveton]
