I'm gonna start a sticker business with this slogan "I didn't vote for either, it's all your fault"

You know you can "vote against" Obama by voting for a third party, right?

no, that's called "throwing your vote away".

As for what I have against Obama, its mostly the fact that he wants to bankrupt our country with all hi social programs. But there is also the fact that I don't like the idea of voting for someone with no experience just because they are an incredible public speaker.

why do people keep parroting the 'no experience' crap, and its not like every other presidential candidate won't do the same (including the libertarians)

There is some hesitation, depending on who he chooses for the VP slot.

One of the bigger issues for me is replacing the retiring justices of the Supreme Court.

I lived/live in/near Chicago ... I have already had enough of Chicago, Cook County, Illinois suck-ass Democratic "Tax 'em Till They Squeal" politics, we don't need to take it country-wide.

Ah yes, one will kill 100 and the other 101, it's obvious which one to choose.

Kill what?

Bbetter to have McCain bankrupt us to shore up Halliburton, KBR, and the oil companies just like President Bush is doing than to spend money on trying to improve the country!

No experience except commuity organizer, state senator, law professor, and US Senator.

It's not "throwing away your vote." This widespread, idiotic notion that prevails helps to keep third parties down. It sends a message that you didn't like other candidates views.

On the later point - no experience? As others have pointed out, this is BS. And as for McCain: I don't want the next president to continue bankrupting our country with the failed policies of GWB.

Well, this guy would be someone I could vote for ... Matter of fact I think I will vote but I'll just write this dudes name in my ballot.

You'd seriously vote for this guy?

Taxpayer money for abortions, tubal ligations, vasectomies? Where does the constitution give authority for this?

And this is his plan for getting rid of poor people?

Get rid of all government contracts and let the government do what those companies would have done?

Yeah, that sounds efficient. :roll:

Who are you voting for? Like I said I can't stand the two party system, I happened to stumble across this video and the guy can think...

Yes, I do think an alternative to having kids would be have an incentive to make them sterile. Do you realize how much the government and state is spending for every teen mother that wants 8-9 + kids?

Makes good judgment to me. I know we all can not be in agreement and there are some things I don't agree with him, but on par I guess I agree with most. Sigh, and I know he would never be president (don't say never) but highly unlikely. Not with 90% believing in religion. The point is I am not for the 2 paryt system so, I'm gonna well, I want to vote and need someone to vote for and well, this guy seems to me like a good shoe in just to say that I did vote for someone.

Tho, I may change my mind and vote for Obama I doubt it, I most likely will not be voting for an old McCain.

The only other third party I've ever voted for was Ross back when Clinton was running...

I don't know if I'll vote for anyone. I dislike everyone on the ballet, from what I have seen and read. I might abstain this year....doesn't matter much anyway. They are all alike when it comes right down to it...as long as it's not Bush and it's not.

Do you 'bankrupt your family' by spending on medical care, on education, on a car? There is wasting money, and there is building the economy.

I won't be voting for either of the major party candidates this election. One I know exactly what to expect and that turns me off big-time. Not been a big fan of the past 8 years.

The other.. I don't know what the hell he would do if elected, the possibilities are too endless, and that scares me as much if not more.

I have been kinda keeping up with this guy he makes a lot of good calls IMO I've read a few books he can sometimes be a bit extreme tho. I do know one thing for sure I sure as hell wouldn't join the Sheep and vote for McCain or Obama.

I'm so tired of the two party system.


I'd find it vastly interesting to see what you guys have to say about this. I really think someone from U-Tube might in the future just be able to get a good run. So far so good.

I'll vote for McCain.

Cynthia McKinney has my vote now!

still wont matter, since the odds of CA not going for Obama are about as long as my cock..



...and I've got a pretty long cock

Hussein, because I think having a Muslim president will be great for US credibility in the middle east.

Actually, I'm not allowed to vote, but I'd go Hussein if I could.

convicted felon?

Actually, legal, law abiding, well educated, high-income tax bracket, mostly assimilated non-immigrant.

Which puts me on par with the legal rights of convicted felons.

So yeah, close enough.

..may not be that bad. In Islam it's a mans world. Look forward to seeing (or not) polosi.boxer and finstine in burlap bags (burka). I'll have to get a prayer rug and remember which direction east is. The beard thing is nasty though. Never liked beards.

I was leaning hard towards Obama up until about a month or so ago ........... not so sure anymore.
I'm going to have to hold out a while longer ...... maybe until the VP's are chosen.

And before someone inevitably says "that's racist" i'm English and our prime ministers name is Brown and he's a retarded human being.
