Politics

[BobD]

Who do you think you'll vote for in the presidential election? I'm asking because I honestly think Romney doesn't have a rat's chance in hell of winning. I'm going to attach a poll (hopefully I can make it private, so names aren't posted) So we don't have to get into a big political debate unless you like talking politics?

Please vote in the poll even if you don't care to comment....I'm curious to see your opinion.

Thanks, BobD

IMO, it really doesn't matter much since neither side is desirable. The US is in need of a major financial overhaul and neither side has the balls to do it.

I am not one of those financial Armageddon types, but I will say that there are some serious issues that will severely test our resolve and we need real leaders in Washington and that is rare in DC these days.

This thread will, without a doubt, start up a heated debate

Totally agree. I will be surprised if it makes it to tomorrow.

Is there a way to disable comments but still allow the votes? It would be interesting to know, but I have a feeling that this thread wont be here when I wake up tomorrow.

People cant help themselves but to be overbearing and rude when it comes to political discussion.

Cant vote

 

[DSully1995]

If i were american, and of legal age for that matter, Id probly write in Ron Paul, can you do that?

 

[johnnykillz]

Whoah I screwed up there!

I voted for who I thought would win, not who I would vote for.

My bad.

 

[johnnykillz]

I hope Hilary Clinton steps up as Indy to blow Obama off the seat.

Nader baby!

Ndaccoutant-I disagree, one candidate Ron Paul does have the balls to perform said over haul but both parties are afraid of him and refuse to give him his due with his good ideas. The Fed needs to be audited and many government agencies need to be cut.

I agree. I don't see a bright future for us on the path we're on. I'm curious about the election because I usually lean Republican and I coudn't even consider voting for Romney. Gut feeling: I think Obama wins in a land slide.

Agree, however he is one of the exceptions and he is not going to win or even be on the ballot most likely.....which is why I said it doesn't matter if it is Mitt or Obama....neither is what this country needs.

 

[STLDomer]

Can't vote so....

And at the same time, me Philly and others can chill and watch this show happen

That would be cool!

I think he wins, but not in a land slide. I also think we may be looking at a R senate and house.

However, I think this could be a long summer for the economy which will not help Obama.

Can't vote but so....

And enjoy our birthdays tommorow bro!!

His foreign policy would have us in WWIII quicker than a bookies runner.

But his financial plan is on par.

Hurt now.

Heal later.

Our children should not have to bear our grandparent's and parent's pain. (I'm 32.)

For many, the health of the economy trumps all. This alone means Romney has a very good chance of unseating Obama. I've heard that the outcome of 21 of the last 24 presidential elections could be predicted based on a simple model tracking unemployment/inflation/income growth, whether or not we're at war, and third party candidates. Romney, despite an inability to convince Americans he stands for much, could replace Obama simply because of good timing.

I respectfully disagree, I find testosterone has ruled foreign policy for too long, I dont believe in Peace through strength(military strenght). It almost blew up the world in the cold war.

I don't think it matters since we live in a corporate monarchy!!

His foreign policy keeps the U.S. out of unnecessary military actions. Not sure I see the problem.

Because by ignoring others, we abandon our long standing position which creates hate.

These countries who have grown accustomed to our crutch then come to hate us when we yank supplies and subsidence.

See Afghanistan.

Also we won't abandon the oil rich countries.

So no can do.

It is nice in theory. But them there's practicality and reality. And the risks involved.

I wish I were wrong.

 

[GoldenIsThyFame]

Good lord this will not end well.

 

[Dacian_Irish]

I love this country but anyone who thinks we still live in a Democracy is delusional! Voting doesn't matter!

The Bilderbergs run this country and most other countries. Just do the research of how many presidents and politicians visit these annual meetings. They are bought!

I see it... It's right there.
