Election...

Post by **RobertMuldooJP** » 15 Jan 2004, 20:13

I would like to have George Bush serve a second term in office as President. However, I wont hold on to that firmly until I hear speeches from the final candidates, primarily Wesley Clark. I think that America is doing just fine right now, and I wouldnt want to shake things up by bringing in a new president. Thats why I would vote for Bush.

Care to state who you'd like to see as President? and why? /tongue.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

Question 2: are you going to vote this year *if old enough*?

I'll be old enough to vote in the 2004 election, however, I'm not even considering voting right now. None of the candidates are really worthy of being President.

We didn't have any really great candidates in 2000 (Bush is okay, but I'd like a bit more attention being paid to the economy), and 2004 is lining up to be even worse, if you ask me. At least Gore & Bush had name recognition.

Personally, I wish Denis Leary or George Carlin'd run. I'd probably even care to vote then.

Let's see, the country's economy is weak, the dollar is at an all-time low against foreign currencies, this administration took what was a healthy budget surplus and transformed it into the highest federal deficit of all time, we're fighting a terrorist war with questionable progress (we're probably creating more terrorists than we're actually killing or capturing (and no Usama Bin Laden)), the middle east is a powderkeg waiting to go kaboom and our continued, unswaying support of Israel isn't helping in this region of the world, Afghanistan is still in horrid condition with opium production at its highest in years and with a national government and economy that barely exists outside of Kabul.

..... anyone need more reason to boot this man back to Texas?

I understand how you feel. You may not like everyone on the ballot, but couldnt you choose the 'lesser of two evils'? You may not like him, but he *whoever* will be governing you for the next four years. Remember, Hitler became dictator cause of one vote, Texas became a state by one vote, and one vote in the Senate kept President Andrew Johnson from being removed from office during his impeachment trial

Well, should have declared my candidate (Wesley Clark) within my previous post.

The "Brahe/Krahulik administration"(as sophomoric and juvenile as that is) had nothing to do with the formation of any of my political decisions. I stated that I would just be willing to listen to the democrats' speeches and their agendas, not necessarily vote for them. But most likely I will vote for President Bush

luckily, my vote will aid Bush in winning over Arizona *8 votes in the electoral college*, like he did in 2000.

besides, I doubt you're even old enough to vote.

Discuss, or debate, but do not harass or flame. I say this for the sake of the nature of the topic and what's already been stated. 'Nuff said.

My thoughts in a nutshell.

I don't see any candidates that really appeal to me so far. Each seems to have something that can be counted against them. I don't like the idea of voting for a lesser evil, but I want Bush out.
