i wish politics were easier...now i have to do rersearch on each and every one of those candidates and their positions on every single issue.

fuck.

[lokuputha]

hey where is Andrew Jackson

[93EXaesthetic]

im thinking either obama or clinton

[pwrusr]

Wow, I've been wondering when a thread like this one pops up.

I want to make sure everyone that plans to vote PLEASE research the canidates very closely.

As said from the OP, keep it clean folks.

..I want to make sure everyone that plans to vote PLEASE research the canidates very closely...

x2 that is the reason behind why each canidate's name is a link to the Washington Post's Profile of the canidate.. Figured that would cut down on the research time a little bit.. There are plenty of websites out there that have all kinds of information about the canidates.. Voting without researching is pointless to me.. Don't vote for someone just because everyone else is.. Vote for who you would be most willing to support.. Later

I wish there was one that would Legalize bud then ill vote for them

[Phempa]

^^ on a similar note to that.....

Republican Ron Paul is my choice.

He supports the effort to federally legalize the growth of hemp in the US, which would GREATLY improve our economy, cut down on greenhouse gases, lower fuel prices, save what rain forest we have left, and give great business to poor farmers looking for more profitable crops (which I believe they fully deserve)

Not to mention it is a step in the right direction for the eventual and inevitable decriminalization of marijuana.

And I also agree with his stance on how unconstitutionally the current Bush regime has handled nearly every controversial task that has been tossed it's way.

I trust President Paul could most definitely turn this country around by ending much the hypocrisy in the government.

The constitution will mean something once again.

I haven't researched any platforms extensively enough to be satisfied with any decision. However, I don't believe in campaign platforms anyway. Half of the promises and plans won't be followed, the other half won't be within their power.

I would vote Clinton. And yes, because she's a woman. Aside from Oprah, Hillary is the one woman who has a strong chance at becoming President. Having a female President would do more to change this country than any campaign platform. It would be a change, and a very drastic one at that.


Of course, when I DO vote, I will be educated on the candidates. I won't vote Clinton solely on her gender... though, unlike campaign promises, that is one change you can be 100% certain she is bringing to the White House!

yeah this guy is a rock. pretty solid when it comes to his ideologies.

Although, just like JFK, I believe he will be assassinated if he tries to dismantle the Income Tax, IRS, and the Federal Reserve.

His views are far too extreme. Even if he could follow through with even some of those things, the same conservative crowd that voted Bush into power would see to it that Paul wouldn't make it.

I don't smoke, and I doubt I ever will. However, I'm actually in support legalization as well. From a psychological perspective, removing marijuana from the "drug" category will significantly reduce the "gateway drug" effect that sadly is quite true. If you drink a beer at 16, the chances of your trying cocaine in 2 years aren't all that great. If you smoke weed at 16, the chances are significantly higher... weed introduces you to the "drug culture" whereas alcohol (a more harmful substance, in reality) does not.

Regardless, Clinton has a better chance, due to her more standard approach. She is a politician. Through and through. She is as good as any male politician (if any can be called good). Her positive impact will come from the fact that she is a woman. Regardless of what she does in office, her gender alone will be a step towards change. Her gender alone will shake the roots of this old fashioned government to the core. Maybe AFTER her time in office, we'll be more open to other significant changes.
I'm patiently awaiting the first *** black paraplegic female president.

Yeah, the good guys don't go into a country without permission... they might overthrow the government and retain a military occupation. Yeah, that's not something we would do.




As for religion... Hmm... Hindu, of course!
