November Elections

[StrictMasterD]

Simply Put, who do you wantto see Win the White Huose in 2012

[Thorne]

What, no vote for neither? True, I'd rather see Romney rather than any of the other Rethuglicans, I don't trust him any more than I do Obama. We need another choice, someone with a real chance, with real ideas, and without the baggage that comes with belonging to one of the idiotic parties we now have to deal with. Surely there must be someone out there who has the intelligence to rebuild this country without having to kowtow to every PAC going!

[StrictMasterD]

I did not list a "Someone Else" as the Reality of that Actualy Happennig is so slim to nNill it just did not makesense, wanted to make the Poll a realsitic as possible, this wil be the WORST Presdientail Electioni n Years, with NO REAL choice at all, YES there are other out ther but they have no chancei n the wrold of being elected

[Thorne]

Since when has Reality begun to play a part in politics? We have one of the nation's wealthiest men who likes to pretend he's "just one of the common people" and who's religion claims he will one day be a god ruling his own planet; OR we have the right-wing liberal who seems to believe that letting the majority of the people sponge off of those still willing and able to work is a GOOD thing!

Yeah, Reality bailed out a long time ago.

And I still think that "Neither" would have been a good choice (as opposed to someone else which, as you note, ain't gonna happen.) After all, you're asking which we would WANT to see in the White House. And my answer is still "Neither."

[denuseri]

Same here! I would gladly vote for a third party candidate if I liked their ideas and thought they had a chance of getting in and actually changing things.

However...seeing as that's not going to happen anytime soon...I plan on voting for the devil I know as opposed to the corporate bigwig fake flake.

Oh I never said "what else" Obama was (other than a flat out liar and fake---check any of my other posts about him) outside of being the "devil" (that isn't bad enough for you? blink blink)

okay, i was under the impression you were implying he was not a corporate bigwig fake flake

[StrictMasterD]

My apologies for not listing a 3rd possbility like listing someone else, as you said denuseri, I listed only Obama & Romney SOLEY because I knew no other Canidate would have a chance in the wolrd to be eleted and simply wanted to make the Poll as Realistic as possible
But again as Bad as Obma has been I have real issue with a ULtra Rich Politician who recently spent over $2 million dollars on of all thing ELEVATORS in his GARAGE for his cars, that should speak wonder for him.
I do not believe for 1 second Romey has ANY concept of what is it like to Struggle Financialy etc thus he has no idea hw do deal with lot of issue we now have to face
No Obama is NOT the best choice, but is in this case
I might add that if I has an extra $2 miloin, I would not use it to build an EVELVATOR in my garage for Cars

[arbysworld]

wanting a third party vote is just not realistic, and as sad as it may sound that todays America is still run buy greedy rich fat white people put in to office!!!

since we live in real life and i have to vote between Romney or Obama guess what Obama gets my vote every time. and as long as the republican party has idiot presidential candidates like Romney or Gingrich and Palin I will vote for Obama again.

just my .02cents

[StrictMasterD]

It's just ashame the Repblican are far more concerened abou the Rich and Mega Rich (Which mosto therm are anyway) until they learn wha is it like to be of Medium Income or lower, it wil be hard for them to win
the 99% wil always control who wins the election, the 1% may hav the money but WE have the vote which to me is far more important then the money, don't get me wrong I would not have anu issue being rich, but I am also reallistic about that as well, plus I do not have a Garge to build an elelvator for my Car

[Domin8or]

How bout this for an option http://ac2012.com/

[denuseri]

Yeah it doesn't really matter who we elect when its the super rich who make certain our choices are all shit!

[The Novice]

I just want to know in what world is Obama not part of the 1%.

[StrictMasterD]

I do not beelive that Obmam is worth the $245 Million that Romney is, plus Obamma is concerend about th Middle and Low Income Families of the Population, I am not sure that Romney knows they even exist, he once said 4 months ago during the Debates "I am not concered about the Low Income part of the Population, the all have a saftey net under theem" We do where is mine?

ha ha ha...No Obama only wants you to think he cares so he can get your vote...if you look however..he hasn't actually done a thing to help anyone other than his big business contributors...heck he even has kept the war going exactly as his predecessor wished following his play book to the letter.

Actualy you are wrong, he ended Irquw which Bush had NO plands to do, he is ending Afganistan by then end of 2013 which Bush had no intentions of doing, rember BUSH sent us into 2 Wars WITHOUT Congressional approve which is required by the Constitution and not only did he get us into 2 Waras he did so with no wayto pay for either At least Obma got rid of Bin ladin, he got us out of Iraque and we wil be out of Afganistan by then end of next year, HE INHERITED these 2 wars he did not send us into either of them so please remind yourself that Obmam has eneded1 war our involvment anyway and has pub;lic lan to end the other one BUsh did neither nor did he get Congressinal approval for either which is required nor did he have money to pay or either one I am NOT defending Obamam but the trustho n the war is the truth

You may wish to check your facts.

First of all, Congress gave Bush its approval for everything we have done since 911. (Well documented and under media scrutiny the whole way I might add)

Secondly, all of the withdrawals in Iraq and subsequent build ups in Afghanistan have in fact followed the pre-established conditions and timetables set down during Bush and Cheney's administration...almost to the letter.

Thirdly, remember who put into action the first stimulus? Yes that's right it was Bush. Yet again, Obama has simply followed the play book left by his predecessor.

Even his health care bill and subsequent deals with other such massively big companies (especially the 7 sisters who run the oil industry) is a sellout to big business that forces us in the first instance to all buy insurance or pay a fine and in the second to pay as high as possible "market bearable" price for fuel to continue to allow the 45% pure profit for big oil mark up and record profits.

Now you would think this means I wouldn't be voting for him of all people right?

Wrong....a vote for Romney is just like bending over even further and saying to the corporate big wigs..."well I enjoyed being fucked over by your figure heads soooo much...now I am willing to do away with the middle man and get fucked directly up the waazoo by any one of your ceo robber barons turned politician any time you wish...mast,a."

the war powers resolution, whether or not it is constitutional is debateable, but as it stands, its legal, but it doesn't mean it was a good decision

[StrictMasterD]

No what I said was WAR was never delacred with Iraq or Afganistan, I neevr meantto say Bush never recoeoved permisson, WAR was never declared the asttime the US delcared war on anyonewas WW2
If Romeny is elected ALL Major Corpotarion wil recieve every conceivable Break thereis Tacx Breaks etc why should Companies berewaed for Off shoring Jobs
Obama may be a disapountmet, Ronmey wil be a disater

[The Novice]

True,Obama is not worth as much as Romney, but that does not change the fact that he is in the 1%. I go with the Reagen idea of voting. If I am not better off then I was four years ago the guy in office has to go. I am not better off than I was four years ago, so the guy in office has to go. Though I am a firm believer that the reason I am not better off is because of the morons that are running the state I live in. Which are the same pool of political morons Obama came from, got love the Chicago way.

[lucy]

I predict here and now that no matter who you're voting for: You won't be better off in four years than you are today. Unless democrats and republicans start working together to solve some of the problems instead of flinging dirt at each other all the time. But then again, that's not very likely to happen.

True enough. The first thing they have to do is figure out which are the real problems! Worrying about contraception, for example, doesn't do squat for the economy. The way things are going, no one is going to be able to afford them anyway.

[StrictMasterD]

It would also be nice but as unrea;istic as anyting ever, that both Obama and Romey STOP bashing each other, and starttalking aboutthe issues OR people may become so disengaed by the process tha tthe Voter turno ut is lwer in November then in recent history,
It is like the Republicans debates WERE, they need to DISCUSS THE ISSUES and not bash each other, everyone knows where Obama failed, everyone knows what Romeny did as Governor, lets be direct with the Aerican people and insteado f saying"Hewil not o this, or that" letssays WHAT YOY WILL DO, even if you do not keep your word the Voters wil at least know where you stand ON EVERYTHING I am tired of all the Bashing already

Lucy, I agree 100%

arguably its not about democrat vs republican, it's about young vs. old, or it should be. and both groups can't win

[lucy]

Why should it be about young vs. old? It could just as well be progressive vs. conservative, urban vs. rural. And no matter what: In none of this cases both can't win, but both will lose even much more if they can't find compromises.
However, American politics are dominated by democrats and republicans, so it's them who need to start working together and find compromises.

because the entire social structure is heavily subsidized to last until the last baby boomer dies and i get stuck with mountains of utterly unpayable debt

So very true, Lucy.
