Presidential Poll 9/4/08 . Vote now!
 

Lets do our own poll of how our members will vote. We will do another as major political events happen. As you know both runners have picked their running mates. No one will know who you vote for how so be honest.

You may discuss your reason why you voted the way you did at this time. As you know your mind may change before the elections and if it does feel free to discuss. We will do several polls before the election.

Im for Obama.

i just want something very very very different than what we have had.

wow.. Did NOT see that coming.

Can we just get Sarah Palin?

Obama...i doubt that McCain is going to do a much better job than bush.

NObama '08

im for McCain!!!!!!!!!

as for Palin she has more experience then obama.

I would vote for Obama just so the Dems would STFU, something new would be nice. I don't feel that McCain could do much better than Bush. I don't follow it enough to really put in a educated vote. In the end I would probably vote for McCain but I don't feel strongly one way or the other.

We are tranfering too much wealth to other countries. We need bigger tax breaks for companies that keep their business in the US. I want more of my money in my pocket so I can spend it on our economy not for the governmet to spend it for me.

McCain Palin are ready to change and have demostrated that they will go against the good old boys in Washington by their past actions. Obama has not demostrated anything except his promise of change which is a kind of dumb as change is constant so how do you promise something thats constant. Change is going to happen reguardless of who is elected so vote for the one who has demostrated change not just promised it.

McCains ads against Obama are sad. Hes trying to make another election thats determined by petty and divisive political tactics.

Heres why I think McCain shouldn't be president.

He's going to continue spending money in Iraq. What is it 9-10 billion a month?
He's going to continue giving tax cuts to the wealthiest in America.
He's against stem cell research.
He's trying to take away a womans right to choose, no matter what the circumstance is.
What about equal pay for equal work?

We cannot have a third term of Bush.

Obama focuses on issues, while McCain focuses on the next attack hes going to make on Senator Obama. He can go ahead using every last dime that he gets from Washington lobbyists, its not going to work.

Its obvious choice. Obama 08'.

If the supposed wealthy dont spend money a lot of people will lose jobs. The supposed wealthy do like to piss off money on toys, replacing furniture every few years, eating out every weekend or weekday. If you do tax more of those supposed wealthy they will just not do some of those things but believe me they will still have it better than the poor you think you are helping. I believe in a hand up and not a hand out. Teach a man to fish!

Theres more middle class people than wealthy people. If we give the tax cuts to the middle class, then they'll spend more money.

were is the other choice that should be "dont really care"

thats really sad since this country has alot of current issues that this next president has to deal with. examples...the economy/housing, immigration, health care, energy crisis, both ongoing wars, Iran, poor infrastructure (bridges, roads), social security, and ridiculous college costs....and this is just to name a few of many more.

right now america is in a hole and someone needs to lead us out....along with congress of course

By not voting you obviously dont really care lol.

I must admit, I am completely ashamed of the democratic party. They have completely lost their way and lost they minds. This is supposed to be the party that stands-up for the little-guy...for the women, and for the forgotten. They are making stupid attacks against a woman and her family....they are soo pissed that the Rebs may actually now be the party for many women. And, they forget to defend the smallest person of all....the unborn.

McCain is not perfect. But his little finger is more of a man then Obama.

How dare they question Palin's ability to step in the White House when she has more executive experience then Obama, their presidential candidate. Obama is a candidate for one reason and one reason onlyl....the color of his skin. Think about it. If he were white, would he be the nominee? No! The man has no credentials to be President.

If you want to have change or be different, then waste a vote on Mickey Mouse.

I've got to be honest, I'm torn. Not the biggest McCain supporter, same deal with Obama. However, I am a fan of Palin and Biden. Can't I just vote both of them into office? This is the first time I get to vote, and the first time I can't choose.

I really hate to get into politics but here's my 2 cents. Neither candidate is truly the best we could have gotten, but we've been down this road before. There is going to be a cut off date for occupation of Iraq in 2009, more likely 2010. But I think we have to let Iraq have at it by themselves.. That's what they want overall. Americans, too are favoring the "bring our troops home" attitude.

Afghanistan is maybe another story alltogether, We should have nipped that in the bud to begin with, Maybe we should stay the course there with more troops.

Either way our economy must be an upfront issue. We need to get our american citizens back into well paying jobs that are being outsourced to cheaper labor countries.

Lets get our textile jobs back, quit buying cheap ass shit from everyone else, and put more money into education, so we can get our youth back into the high paying job market, cheap labor shouldn't be so cheap as foreign countries make it.

If you work hard everyday you should be paid well.
If you know more because you are educated, you should be paid even more.
If you can combine hard work with knowledge of your job, you should earn a decent wage.

If America can get a good balance of all of these, without too many people trying to get rich too quick, we may have a chance of being a country where everyone can live the american dream..

But we have to start at the youth level right now. Education is key.

Ok I'll stop now.. I aint smart enough to run the country. Just like most of us.. :rolleyes:

Obama focuses on issues? Why don't you actually explain these issues he focuses on. So far every interview I've ever seen him in focuses on a bunch of "um's and but's." "Ummm, but, let me think of the word... Wait.. I got it! Change! They'll like that word! What am I going to change? Umm...."

PS. Every woman has a right to choose. Unprotected sex = Baby. Protected sex = less likely to have baby, no sex = no baby. ---I'm sure that you are going to argue the rape side, which I can understand, but that will come with time, no matter who is in office.

Also, your little BS line about "attacks on Obama." You obviously don't watch Television (or are just in some kind of serious denial). The Dems. have been executing personal attacks on Sarah Palin like nobodies business.

Can't wait for the debates, while Obama is full of "Um's and But's" McCain and Palin will be tearing him a new one! :D

McCain*Palin 2008!

x2

I'am a McCain fan and had already planned to vote for him but after last night....WOW:eek: did Sara Palin put on a show and it seems alot of people were impressed, even the dems....after last night speech, I wondered if the ticket should read Palin/McCain;)

Palin has more executive experience than Obama, Biden, and McCain. But shes also a hypocrit for what is going on in her own family. She let her daughter make her own choice, but wants a government that decides for her? What a joke.

I don't know what your watching, but last night, all i saw was an attack squad. They lied about many things, and attacked "the little guys" for our role in the Obama campaign. They insulted the very idea that ordinary people have a role to play in our political process.

If you want specifics, Guiliani and Palin both mocked Obama's experience as a community organizer. Since when is helping out his community a bad thing? Community organizing is the foundation of the civil rights movement, the women's suffrage movement, labor rights, and the 40-hour workweek.

McCain hasn't offered one single idea, to fix our suffering middle class and fix our economy.

If America wants another term of Bush, so be it. You'll regret electing McCain, just like many regret electing Bush.

palin's a hottie haha

it's the democrat congress that has been messing things up for the last 2 years but people keep blaming Bush in

in 2006 people voted in a democrat congress

1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon
3) the unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) the DOW JONES hit a record high--14,000 +
5) American's were buying new cars, taking cruises and vacations

since then

1) Consumer confidence has plummeted.
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing!
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase).
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12 TRILLION DOLLARS & prices still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) $2.5 TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!

congress runs the country not the president obama can't change anything and neither can mccain congress is the problem

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!

You did all of the work for me.

the dems got change in 2006 the only change I want is a change back

ummm if gas went up to 7 bucks then ya i would vote. but ya i do think we should not be in war, there was no reason why we need to be in war. for the person that did 911 we should only be consertrating on finding that one person (which wa osama binladen or watever his name was) and not go to war with other different contries that didnt terrorize us.

like whenever another country get hit by sumthing US goes to there rescue but if sumthing happened the US other country's would not even bother to help us. Just like 911, no other contries came to help us :mad:

ya i really dont care, just as long they dont take my job, my stang and my wife :p

Its not the fact that we're spending 10 billion dollars a month in Iraq? Or how much we rely on foreign oil? Hmm.

I'd hit it...ha ha ha.

I don't think we needed a poll to figure out how people on this site will vote.

we were doing nearly the same things since 2001 and we did just fine till 2006 when the dems took the house and the senate and started black balling everything bush tried to do. from then on things went down hill but instead of blaming the people responsible they pointed at the figure head (the president) and thats fine to do you just have to realize that without the senate and houses' support the presidents hands are tied so none of it is really his fault he just gets to be the scape goat every presidential candidate knows that is a possiblity when they decide to run. If you make them (congress) comfortable they forget about you but if you try somthing they don't agree with they don't let you do it and then they crucify you when what you were trying to fix is still broken.

bring back BILL CLINTON :D

who cares if he was doing he thang, all men need it, lol

and there should be a vote to bring him back

I don't think bringing back the ONLY President to be impeached while in office is a great idea.

im all in for McCain..

http://allcountries.org/uscensus/460...cal_party.html

in recent history dems usually control the house and the senate

people did not like the old bush cause he could do very little cause the dem congress didn't let him do anything that they didn't want. alot of dems say that clinton was a great president.... but look at congress:eek: you didn't like clinton you liked the republican congress

Andrew Johnson?

Let's set the record straight...I think you are listening to the wrong people.

First of all, the fact that Gov Palin's daughter is pregnant, does not make her a hippocrit in ANYWAY. Her daughter's action are her daughter's actions, not her mothers. That is the funamental difference between being a liberal and being a conservative. Liberal's blame others.

IF, Gov Palin had taken her daughter to get an abortion, then she would be a hippocrit. Saying that she is a hippocrit because her daughter is pregnant means virtually nothing in regards to politics. Besides, has anyone considered that the baby was wanted? Why does that not get considered? Instead what you have is a pro-life wokman who kept a baby with downsyndrome and has a young daughter, who is keeping a baby and getting married. What part of this do you not get?

Conservatives don't believe that people are perfect, but they do believe that believe should strive to do the right thing. A liberal minded girl would get knocked-up, push the father out of her life, and then stand around waiting for a handout from the government.

Palin NEVER attacked the little guy....she attacked Obama and his background (which is fair game). She NEVER attacked community organizers like the liberal media want you to believe, she simply made the point that being a community organizer does not mean that you are qualified to be president. Have you forgotten the mantra of the democratic party about McCain when they claimed that being a POW for 6 years does not mean that he is qualified to be president? Let's use YOUR logic then....I guess the Democrats then attacked EVERY POW that ever existed. See.....it does not work like that.

Take a look at the Republican ticket. Who has done more McCain or Obama to suffer and sacrifice for his country? Even if you take away McCain's POW time. take a look at McCain's family and his adopted children from Bangledesh. Or, how about Cindy? She has done more volunteer work and community service then 99% of the population. Don't ever think that Palin/McCain were attacking volunteerism or community service....no way...that is all that they are about. They were attacking, politically, Obama.

And another thing....how is the middle class suffering? Are you kidding me? This country's poor live better then most of the world and our middle-class live better then most rich in other countries. I just had a grad student to my home tonight from China.....you should talk to him.

80% of our current economic woes are because of oil prices! Oil problems have driven nearly every wrong with the economy. Oil went up, that drove the stock-market down, which then raised the short-term interest rates. That forced people out of their homes who were greedy and got loans they should not have gotten. Then, employers felt the pinch due to the increase in raw materials. My company has experienced a $100 million increase in raw materials this year because of oil. As a result, we have not had lay-offs, but pay raises and hiring opportunities have stopped. We have also cut back on travel and many other perks and have had to back-off on investing in projects.....all this is money NOT going back into the economy BUT, instead going over seas. That's right, we are sending $100M over seas this year that we did not send last year.....$100M that is NOT getting re-invested back into our economy because of oil prices.

Why not? Because 40 years of a liberal controlled congress has resulted in POOR energy policy. Instead, we give HUGE tax breaks to oil companies. WHY? Because this is how we pay them to explore, BUT not allow them to drill. WTF!

Oil prices....rapid oil price increases have resulted in an over-correction which has impacted nearly everything else. Want to fix the economy.....we need to create more domestic energy which will lower oil prices. Oil prices will quickly drop to below $70 a barrell if McCain and Palin get in office. Why? Because $70 is a magic number....this is the number where oil exploration becomes worth it in the harder to reach places in North America and drill they will.

Lastly, McCain is NO Bush. If you can't see that, then I simply don't know what else to say. Had he chosen Rice as a running mate....you could make that point. McCain is just as far from Bush as Obama.

While in office. He just wasn't removed because his term was about up anyway.

Palin told her daughter that it was her choice whether to keep the baby or not, but Palin wants a government that doesn't give her the choice.

I never said she was a hypocrit for having a pregnant daughter. Thats ridiculous.

How the F do you know what Palin told her daughter? Were you there? Did Palin report this? No. No one knows what they discussed or the context of the conversation. Besides, I am a parent. I tell my kids all the time that they have their own choice. It is far more effective that a child do the right thing on their own, rather then have a gun to their heads. Who know, perhaps Palin was just giving her daughter the option to make the decision on her own. What would be wrong with that? She decided to KEEP the kid.

Keep in mind the Democratic party is supposed to stand up for the little guy, but they refuse to stand up for the littliest guy of all.

It was on CNN and Fox News a couple days ago. If I remember correctly, she did talk about it. But that's if I remember correctly which means, screw everything I just said it's probably wrong.

water.... you're the ginchiest.
