2008 US Election: Who would YOU vote for?

**Robb4248** · 09-08-2006, 07:38 PM

Simple enough, yes? Who and why? Oh, me? Well, I'm undecided at the present time.

Isn't this too early to ask?

**Robb4248** · 09-09-2006, 02:30 PM

Yes and no, there's been a lot of political controversy all over the forums, just thought I'd ask.

I just copy and pasted my thoughts from the other thread.

I wouldn't vote for Guliani because he has no balls. He was great during the days following 9/11 and getting the country behind the cause, etc etc. Everything else he's done sucks. He doesn't speak up for his ideas; he just sees what his party is doing and thoroughly supports it...regardless of how silly it is. I remember when he was saying that Bush won one of the debates by a landslide when he very obviously lost it (I think it was the first debate, but I could be wrong. Bush was really flustered and kept stuttering and contradicting himself). People that are so enveloped by their party that they can't see through the red or blue have no place in office. I wish McCain was the front runner. I'd vote for him.

I couldn't vote for Hilary either. I like some of the things she's done (making a bill that says minimum wage needs to be increased every time the congress gets a wage increase), but I honestly don't think this country can have a female president at the moment. With North Korea and Iran needing to be dealt with (not necessarily in a military sense), we need to have someone in office that is able to talk sense into them. These people simply do not respect women. If we had a female president, our foreign policy would cease to exist. As much as I hate it, the US is a major player in nuclear arms. We need someone that can deal with the people that are developing nuclear technology with a violent mindset. When those countries don't respect women, a woman couldn't do the job.

I'm undecided. Between those two I'd probably vote for Guliani just because of the woman thing. If there's a third party candidate, I'd consider them pretty strongly.

They both have issues. But I think 9/11 unfairly boosted Giuliani's popularity.

Obama '08

Interesting twist how Fred Dalton Thompson has come into play. But, I don't think he's going to be taken too seriously with him announcing his candidacy on Leno.

It's getting exciting isnt it?

greenblood · 11-09-2007, 07:08 AM

Hiliary definitely
I want Clinton age back!

xj911 · 11-09-2007, 09:08 AM

I would love to see Ron Paul get the nom, that's who I'm standing behind.

If it was between hilary and Giuliani...it would be Hilary. She's got Bill behind her, despite the controversy he was a good president. Giuliani is a shaky on a lot of issues and is running on three numbers...9-1-1

Qurratulain · 12-11-2007, 11:19 PM

Not a US citizen, but I'd have voted for Hiliary if I were!

Terry Bollea 2008!!!!

I'm holding out for Condi Rice to announce her candidacy. None of the Republicans are making a strong enough sale and I wouldn't vote for a Dem if it meant preventing the Apocalypse.
