Simple poll. If the election were held today, and you could vote, who would you vote for? Who do you think should lead this nation for the next four years?
Who Should Be The Next President Of The United States?
Where's the poll?
I was making it. Sheesh. :waggle:
I put it in alphabetical order by last name, in case anyone wonders.
Wish I was able see the poll and vote. :shrug:

I voted Obama, cause I'm bitter and cling to my guns and religion.
Actually, I'm a crazy hippie.

I love crazy hippies...and I love Obama
McCain. I don't particularly like him, but he's better than all the other choices we have.
If Bob Barr is on the ballot, I'm voting for him. If not, I'm writing in Ron Paul.
I plan to hold my nose and vote for McCain.
Obama - of the three viable candidates, he's lied the least.

Thankfully, you don't have the right to vote.
Bob Barr definitely doesn't fit the Libertarian ticket. I don't see why Paul didn't just take their nomination.
But uh, all the candidates are shit. McCain is dangerous and Obama's nearly a socialist. Clinton too, but her chances of being nominated are as much as her chances of getting lucky with anyone. I just wouldn't vote, or I'd write in Ron Paul as a protest.

Nah, you're treated like you are dumb because you made the egregious mistake of voicing support for someone with an "R" beside his name. That makes you open season for the otherwise tolerant progressive folks. 😊

Sorry, what I said was rude. I actually think you're remarkably smart for your age. I guess I should have explained. I don't like it when people vote for someone they don't like. I realize the alternative is a) voting third party or b) not voting, and then you might get a candidate in office who you like even less than the mainstream one you would have chosen... but it still bothers me. You won't find me voting for someone I dislike... I'd rather stay home or vote 3rd party.

Nope. You do like making baseless assumptions though, don't you? Notice I didn't say anything to AlphaDawg or anything specifically about McCain. My explanation for what I said (which I apologize for being too lazy to post originally) can be found above.
If you don't like someone, vote for someone else. That's my feeling.

I agree it would make more sense for Ron Paul to take the Libertarian nomination, but I think he wants to maintain his loyalty to the Republican party - and more specifically, to the faction of the party that corresponds to his views.
I sure like the fact that people have voted none of the above. None of the above has shown me that they are qualified for the office of the presidency. Some say that it is a good thing, but if you believe that, then why don't you look at Jimmy Carter's presidency. As for the rest, they don't seem to be good enough at getting the support of the American people. None of them; except Obama, but he's just not qualified yet.
I am not into politics or anything but if I had to vote for anyone it would be Hilary since she at least knows how its like to be President since her husband was one. But what do I know :P
You know, it's kinda weird that we don't have a governor running this year. I mean, being governor is kinda like presidential training wheels. Granted, it didn't help Dubbya out, but he was a pretty crappy governor (nothing specifically, it was just that he was indecisive about EVERYTHING).

Lied the least... or hid the lies the best?😉
I support Obama for lack of a better candidate.
Either way works for me - I figure, if I'm gonna have a liar for a president, I at least want him to be good at it. I don't want a president who does things half-assed.
I vote for John McCain to go to the nursing home and stay the fuck away from the white house. And I vote for Obama to go to the white house. And anyone that says he's not "qualified"... well since atleast some of you assholes elected the current douchebag you've made it obvious the job of president says No Experience Necessary.
And I don't understand how people think McCain is special at all. He's one of those old Senate farts. One of a congress with a very low approval rating. And his "military" background doesn't add to his resume. If anything it takes away from it. McCain is one of few that I think has the potential to actually be worse than Bush. I know it seems crazy to say that with how fucked up Bush got things, but you give McCain a chance and he'll finish the job.
Adolf Hitler would solve all teh problems in Israel.
The thing you've got to understand about McCain is that deep down, he's really just a tax-and-spend liberal... Well, without the taxing part, so more of a "Hey, this credit card is like free money," liberal.

Did he tell you that?

Jimmy Carter ran under that campaign, and if you think that presidency was good (exclude his economic failures) then you go ahead and vote for Obama. I really hope that the United States never makes that mistake again, but then again, not many Americans have a sense of history.
It's funny how people think that life has gotten so terrible under Bush. My life is still very comfortable and I'm not worrying about much of anything. Life is still good to me.
You have to remember we're still on our way down, we haven't even hit the bottom yet.
I think it's somewhat narrow to say "well, my life is fine, so I don't have a problem with this president". I mean, look at the quality of life for the average Iraqi citizen right now... you'll find it's far from great.
I do, however, think that people blaming the president for the state of the economy is misguided. He really can't do that much by himself.
I'm voting for McCain (who I actually would have voted for in 2000 over Bush if I had been given the choice).
But I wouldn't particularly be upset if Obama won. Now Hillary, there is no way in hell I want to see her as President... ever.

Agreed.
Obama or McCain I could live with, but the thought of Hillary as president makes my skin crawl.
