Okay, so I see there is a poll titled "Presidential Vote 2008" but there are no choices for anyone in the Democratic party, which personally, I think will be in the White House in 2008. Vote for who you support in the Democratic Primary. Also, will it matter to you who wins the nominations? Will you be voting for the individual, or the party?
In the youtube debate, the candidate who seemed to actually answer the questions asked was Joe Biden. For republican it's Ron Paul for obvious reasons...and he understands the why of war...apostasy and apostate countries, not simply Iraq or Iran versus USA..he's the closest one who gets it right. Plus he's pro-legalization for pot.:thumbsup:
None of them are worth knockin inna head
is it my imagination or does the field of candidates get more and more pitiful every year? none of the front runners from either side are worth looking at, they seem to be throwing anyone they can into the ring and hoping that one of them can fool the people into taking them seriously. why is it that only the dregs of society are willing to run for office any more?
Kucinich or Edwards would stop the war and institute universal health care, what's the question again? BTW, they both favor legal medical pot and lessor penalties for possession.
All of them suck. And why would you want gore to run after he let bush cheat in the election? Gore is the reason for americas problems today and can go inconveniently fuck himself.
John Edwards is the only one one with a real sense of fervency, honesty and urgency, except maybe Joe Biden (who is underrated and underappreciated). The top tier 3 would all be proficient presidents, but I think Edwards is most likely to be elected against the republicans' slimy distortions of truth. Plus he might appeal more to conservative religious voters. Hillary would divide voters like she does now, and be more of a target for far right a-holes. But if I could pick a dem that would be guaranteed to be in the white house, it would have to be Obama, because I think he's most likely to reform the corrupt political system at ground zero.
Among the second tier, I really like Kucinich, but it's hard to picture him as president. All Mike Gravel does is make dems look bad, no matter his intentions.
On the GOP side, Mitt Romney is my favorite and I think he should run again in eight years after the democratic admin cleans up bush's mess. Also, Mike Huckabee is a smart one.
Someone mentioned Universal health care, which I hope means Universal health insurance, rather than publicized health care that the gov't would control. That would be a disaster

It wouldn't have mattered who was running against bush, nepotism would have still prevailed and florida would still have been promised to bush before the election.
You can criticize Gore all you want, but he's only guilty of annoying us with the truth. He didn't want to use the same dirty tricks bush used to win an election which indicates integrity and benevolent intellectualism which would have abounded under a Gore administration, and been in absolute contrast to the current white house
Hahaha, while I may not agree with what you say, I'll laugh my ass off to the death for the way you say it :thumbsup:Quote:
