If "none of the above" was actually on the ballot, a non person would actually get elected me thinks.

I feel sad for the US. Oh well, no one cried for me when I had to vote last federal election in Canada, at least now an American will know how it felt to be a Canadian come election time.

Um, Hi. I am socialist, could you tell me what exactly is so bad about an “equal share” and “leveled playing field”? Enlighten me please.

God dammit.....

Universal health care is the LAST thing we need...
This isn't god damn Europe or goddamn Singapore or goddamn Germany, this is the USA!
And in the USA we are spending TOO MUCH goddamn money on TOO MANY programs that aren't working.
Universal health care is SOCIALISM, equal share, level playing field. And yes, I think Obama is a SOCIALIST!
Another reason it's bad, England is my example of choice, HIGH FUCKING TAXES. Who do you think pays the government for all this goddamn foolishness, Bill Gates?
I'm 15, and a conservative. Not democrat nor republican, but a conservative!

Don't get me start on the fucking global warming issue.....It's a myth...IMO
DRILL FOR OIL!!!! USA USA USA (You people in the USA the envy EU residents can suck mah balls)

Just this alone sounds like your born during the 40's....

Do you fear the Red Scare? Are you disapproving of the Olympics being held in Beijing?

What's wrong with socialism when it's helping millions of people let alone yourself! Don't you know taxes are already high? And a level playing field, Whats wrong with that? Or do you prefer being the higher up looking down on others? Heaven forbid they were to be equal as you...

Global Warming is a myth IYO, im fine with whatever you believe in, I just ask everyone who doesn't believe, IF it is true, What the hell are you gonna do when the seas levels rise? Saying a sorry, isn't going to make them drop....

Drill for Oil, You're talking about The Government spending money on ridiculous foolishness let alone the war, Do you realize that drilling for oil can cost millions of tax payer money?? And since you seem not to know anything about oil drilling, Did you know it may take at least 4 to 5 years to even hit oil?? In the meantime, we are using a whole lot of money that can be put to setting up a solid healthcare system or even fixing are damn failing economy. Or even better, How about we put that money to good use by researching and producing renewable resources that we can use for power and fuel...


Thank God, You are not President.

McCain. I'm no fan of his, but I'll take the lesser of two evils. As a conservative, we didn't exactly have any good choices this time around.

Obama is charming, and displays leadership ability in scripted situations, but he fumbles horribly in impromptu situations. Heck, he makes Bush look like a genius in those instances. That _is_ the primary thing that I hear, that he's charismatic, and a great leader. But you have to ask yourself, would he lead us in the right direction? I would argue not. I don't think I've heard a good idea out of him yet.

I'd take Reagan back in a heartbeat. Heck, I think Reagan could govern better from beyond the grave than these two.

QFT.

McCain is another Bush and that doesn't make me too happy. I'm a conservative and Bush is no conservative. He spends money like a Democrat. I don't understand why the liberals don't like Bush, he's one of them.

Obama is a Socialist, communist, inexperienced, America-hating idiot. The first thing he'll do is raise our taxes. You people better be careful what you wish for, you just may get it.

If we could only have Reagan back. I thought Fred Thompson was the closest thing we had to a Reagan.

Sigh.

Closest thing Republican had to a decent candidate was Ron Paul. He's intelligent, and knows what needs to happen in the next few years.

Unfortunately, he's unelectable due to the fact that half the things that he writes (or is attributed to him) are paranoid and out of touch with reality.

We do need a new Reagan. He was the best president this country has ever had.

are you kidding, ca82686? you are such a communist, and obviously hate ameirca just like that obama, because he doesnt wear a flag lapel, because that obviously shows a feeling that should live in your heart. owait, im me, so that means im a communist too, IN SOVIET RUSSIA, COMMUNISM SERVES YOU

oh, sorry about that, I figured i'd hijack my own post before someone else did. ...why does everyone think reagan was so great? im still not getting it, no one will give any reasoning behind this.

Why the fuck are we linking to Wikipedia as sources? I could go on there and make sure every President is a damn monkey. Wikipedia is not a damn source for anything....

Obama FTW!
He came to my town recently.
Politicians usually don't campaign here because we have a population of about 16,000.
I think this is the first time a candidate has done this since Truman, but he was from this state.

Well, that and I agree with him on most issues, except that he supports tougher copyright laws. >_>
Oh well, he'll end this stupid war Bush started.

The reason Clinton had such a surplus was pure luck in timing.

See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dot-com_bubble for more information.


Yeah the rise of the Internet did help him a lot. Bush Sr's taxes had a little to do with it too and at least give him some credit he wasn't deficit spending like Reagan.

I'd probably vote for Obama. His economic plan appeals to me for the most part and I think it's good that he can gather support in other countries. Though I do hope the US will be a tad bit more isolationist than what have been recently. I know McCain says he'll cut taxes while cutting government spending but we'll see. I will support McCain on his net neutrality stance though.

I'm totally going with Obama. He seems like a nice guy.

That's the thing. He seems like a nice guy. But if you actually know what's going on, you might change your opinion... Bush is a great President, it's the Congress fault he can't do anything you guys want...

You guys are screwed either way,because of your oilwar in Iraq(also known as Nam 2:let's try to fuck up another nation) your country's defecit is sky high and no-tax Mcsrooge(Pres. Bush) isn't willing to raise taxes to fund anything and neither sides will probably change that...So yah good luck with picking a lesser evil(BTW obama probably is your only true hope for salvation)
