well, i don't know if this kinda poll has been started before, but i guess if it was, it might still be relatively fresh as far as thread lifespans go.

so here it goes:

which president are yous kids going to vote for, and why?
 
#3 ·
why kerry i will keep this as short as possible and points.

1: i dont like either they are both morons but my sever dislike of bush will lead me to vote for kerry

2: A president that pisses on me and calls it piss (kerry) or a president that pisses on me and calles it rain (bush) i choose honesty

3: ADMIT IT! YOU WERE WRONG, now stop killing troops cuz your stubborn

4: soldiers are being mistreated, vets are being mistreated yet he will go on national tv on the last debate and say that everything is great and his vets couldnt be more happy and that soldiers are happy when paid well and taken care of... um not

5: bush has already had 4 years to proove himself and he has done nothing but started his "GREAT" no child left behind program which will now punish teachers for stupid kids... good job moron

6: as kerry stated in the last debate... yes there are more jobs (not alot but SLIGHTLY more) but on average they are paying 9,000 dollars less. great on AVERAGE so a man that is laid off that has a family to support can go from a job that paid for them to "one of the many available jobs" *cough* fast food *cough* and bring home just enough to pay for food for a family for a month... good job man!

7: judging by the fact that this site is alot softer than the other sites ive been on i could see this post not lasting long... im am in the middle when it comes to democrat or republican, i do lean more to the democrat side but there are people WAY out there and seem to find the need to get pissed at people who dont believe what they believe. which leads to violent eruptions (in words, stupid idiots) which leads to lockage

I took a political quiz, and leaned heavily libertarian, So, I checked out thier websit, and agree with almost everything they say. Hence, I consider myself neither republican or democrat. The problem with the election race is that it is tailored to two parties... The libertarian party recently sued to have their candidate at the presidential debates but their argument was rejected by a Arizona court on the basis that they didnt file their suit in a timely manner. You can read the story here:

As far as I know, only three candidates are on the presidential ticket, Bush(R), Kerry(D) and Badnarik (L).

If Bush was up against any democrat other than Kerry, he wouldn't have a prayer of a chance. Sadly, most Americans don't realize they have other options than the Republicans and Democrats.

I'm going for Bush.

Do I like either cannidate, nope.

But.......I'd rather have a president with balls then have a sissy president who flip flops and says whatever he can to get elected.

BTW Kerry is an @$$ 8)
 
#10 ·
who doesn't flip-flop?? i sure as hell have.

example: when the towers were attacked, i agreed whole-heartedly that action must be taken. but now, things are getting old. we didn't find osama, and attacking iraq and capturing a man (saddam) that was proven to never had any links to the 'weapons of mass-destruction' made me lose hope. with all of this, i have definitely changed my mind on how i think the war should be handled.

kerry isn't being a flip-flopper, he's being a person... like us, and he's allowed to think any way he pleases. and at least he is capable of thinking before he acts.
bush is just trying to finish what daddy started.
 
#12 ·
yes while he juggernaut didnt say it directily i thought of it the second i read his post... yes in the past he has flip flopped ( not that i would personally call it that but just to keep with the name calling) but at least he was always a political leader... bush was a drunk whos only major political knowlage came from his father ramming it up his anus... so if your going to bring up the past, learn your own candidate
 
#13 ·
I dont understand why people are voting for a cnadidate they dont like... :? I'm voting for the Libertarian party because I agree with what they have to say. Do some research, find another party you agree with, and vote for their candidate. If enough people got fed up and voted for an independent, he would win. And even if he didnt, 2 1/2 years later, when the country is floating down the crapper because of our pres (which ever one it might be), you can look at people and say "hey, don't blame me, I voted for the______ (insert minority here) party.

If you're voting because all you know about a candidate is the slander from his opposition, you have no business steering the nation.

Kerry is a Flip-Flopper or pussie: this bit of propoganda came from the republican's who are supporting a president who said he was the 'Peace President' and the 'War President' in two speaches less than a month apart. This has been addressed and debunked, and even backfired, as history shows that Bush has been less consistent than Kerry has throughout his political career. 'A president with balls' doesn't exactly define Bush. What would take some balls is admitting a few key mistakes that he's made.

Bush is a moron, or has a low IQ: this is simply not true. Bush is an intelligent person, he just chooses to not operate wisely. He has fired or reprimanded anyone who advises him toward a point of view that he's unfamiliar with. He's not a moron, he's just too thick-headed to consider both sides of an issue.

If all you can say about either candidate is something from a political slander campaign, you need to do some research or stay the hell away from the polls. Why vote if you're just going to do it to support your favorite brand of commercialism? You've got the internet, use it. Start reading about each candidate from many different sources.

That said, I may vote for Kerry, I may vote for Nader. I hope Kerry wins, but I like 3rd party candidates, and I live in a heavily republican state, so a vote for Kerry will actually count less than one for Nader. If my state's early polls show a remotely decent Kerry vote (like better than 35%) I'll go Kerry.. otherwise, I'll push for 5% to Nader.

Kerry will keep the White House and the Supreme Courts secular. I don't want George Bush's 'faith' to guide a nation based in reality. To have faith is one thing, to lead a nation based on one's faith (ignoring facts along the way) is bullheaded suicide.

Some of the libertarian ideals are a little out there. I like the libertarian fundamentals, but Badnarik (and many in his party) is supporting near-anarchy.

Let's face it, this election year the voting public got shafted with our choices on who we can have in office. I dislike all three but will go with the lesser of evils. Hey lets all write in Slapyo for pres. :lol:

Did a 3rd party ever win before?
not that i can recall.

but i believe it was in the '92 election (with Clinton, Bush Sr. and Perot) and if i am correct perot was pretty close. or at least closer than any other 3rd party had gone.

_____________
i like how everyone's being objective throughout this discussion instead of being bullheaded and unwlling to hear what everyone else has to say.

in other forums im reading it's more or less reps slamming the dems for their choice in who should win. thus proving once again that feoa is the best forum in the forum world.
 
#21 ·
Yeah I think 92 was the year that Perot got a good number of votes.

i dont because a 3rd party vote is a wasted vote and why throw away a vote if i can vote for some of the things i want?

I've never considered Nadar to be a pro-automotive type of guy, so that sways my vote right there. Unless he's changed in the last 30 years.
This is true. He does not have a driver's license, and he is widely known as the man who attacked the Corvair.

I still believe that a lot of the hatred over Nader's attack from the automotive world has been undue. Nader was attacking the low safety standards of the entire automotive industry and used the Corvair simply because it made the most effective case study. Being rear-engined (and under-damped and under-sprung), the Corvair was the least predictable handling car that could be driven off a dealer's lot. Thanks to Nader's efforts, we now have padded dashes, safety glass and collapsible steering columns in almost every car on the road.

Nader is a very intelligent man.. and he doesn't expect to win... nor do I expect him to. If I vote for him, it is because I want him to get campaign funding from my state. If any candidate gets x% of the votes (it's 5 here in NC), then they get $$ for the next campain year.

I only vote for him because I want 3rd parties to be taken seriously in this nation... not because I want their candidate to be President. Since I live in a heavily partisian state, I can concentrate on the little battles instead of the big one without fear of marring the big battle's result.

I think Beav hit the nail on the head with Nader. Nader forced the old boys club at the Big Three to sit up and take notice that car safety was not a side issue. Thousands of lives have been saved as a result. It takes a brave man to take such a contrarian view and challenge the status quo.

My vote is still with Slapyo. Oh wait, I can't vote in your election.

This is one of the main voting problems I see with America. Y'know what? If every one of you who keeps on saying, "I'd vote for a 3rd party, but it's just be thrown away" actually DID vote for a 3rd party, they'd stand a fair chance. Get out of your rut of thinking you only have 2 choices and do something about it.
 
#26 ·
yeah but people arent going to so it is a throw away... maybe some year but not this one. i for one am going to vote for something i know has a possibility of affecting the outcome in the way i would like it too at least a little instead of wasting my time voting for a never gunna happen candidate.
