Who is going to vote?

Post by Falco Girgis »

I guess now that I'm old enough for the first time ever, I may as well. I'm at McCain's site and Obama's looking over their issues one last time. I'd rather not vote for a douche bag that's going to screw us over. I'd like to say that I either voted against said douche or for the guy that sets us straight.

As for all of you NON Americans, who would you vote for?

I'd vote for Ron Paul, period.

He was the only guy that had a clear vision of evading the economic crisis, and getting your troops back home that were illegally sent there in the first place.

As for Obama and McCain.. It's a battle between a puppet and a puppet..

Ugh. I hate politics.

I'll admit, this year I've been following the candidates much closer than I normally do. But I'm not a fan of either of them.

I would have to say McCain because he knows what he's doing, and because Obama's proposals are so left it would cripple the US more.

Well, I don't generally keep up with US politics, but from what I've heard, I'd vote for Obama. Both the UK and the US need to get out of Iraq, and let's face it, Mccain probably isn't going to survive his term, and then you'd be stuck with Palin as president, who's a complete FOOL. She should just go and wrestle a polar bear or something. :lol:

Well, it's only two more years before I get to (pretend) to help decide my own country's future.

I would totally tap Palin, hottest vice president ever, but I would not be able to handle her running the country.

It's kind of weird to say someone is "so left that they'd cripple the US" when the past eight years there have been people on the right in power.

We had a surplus of money when Clinton was in the White House. All I'm saying.

I already absentee voted weeks ago.
I'm not really going to be absent and unable to vote, but I'm lazy.

yeah agree with both of you're points I would tap that, but I would be scared to death of her ever becoming the president since there is like a 1 in 3 chance that Mcain would die in his first term.

VOTE FOR NATOR! If you didn't know, hes this old fart thats been running in every presidential election since the 70s lol. But seriously, I'm not old enough to vote, but I have been following politics. Obama's tax plan is going to fail hard. He wants to let everyone off easy except the top 5%, which is like top business owners. If these business owners have any brains at all, they'll take their business over seas, so they aren't affected. McCain's tax plan fails too. Around 10 years ago, the idea of America going bankrupt was absurd, now experts say it could really happen. We are like 10 trillion in debt, and McCain wants to lower taxes?

Oh, and getting our soldiers out of Iraq won't happen anytime soon. To some it seems you could just pull out, and haul ass home...but no. If we pulled out, the Iraquis(don't know how to spell that one xD) would look at what we have done, and most likely declare war, and that's not too good, since at the moment we are directly involved in the war. But at the moment, it seems we've gone in this far, we need to stay until Iraq is back on its feet. We've already beat them in the "war" it only lasted about 2 weeks. Now its just these religious cunts that are fighting with each other, that Bush thinks should be our responsibility.

Bottom line for me: McCain is too old, he's going to die very soon after elected...That leaves Palin...and she's not ready/fit to be president at all. With Obama, you can't tell what he's really going to do, he seems to say whatever the hell he can to get votes.

I've never voted before, although I've been interested in this cycle of elections. But as it stands I haven't even registered to vote. Kinda forgot really... been an extreme book worm in recent weeks.

If I were to vote, I'd go with Obama albeit.
