Why would you vote for Obama/McCain?

[akiak]

Since Obama or McCain will be our next president what is your main reason for voting for one of these candidates. Of course some of you would not vote for either but you still would give high priority to a candidate that has a particular strength as a leader to do what?

I will be casting a vote for McCain

I was a larger supporter of him in 2000 that I am today, but he is the lesser of 2 evils. He more closely aligns with my core beliefs which tend to be on the conservative side. I respect the service he has given, even though I have not agreed with all of his stances. I respect his history of leadership. I fully believe he is better prepared to lead this country.

I would abstain, rather than vote for Obama. He has no accomplishments that are not personal. He has no experience. He is about as far away from centrist as any Democratic candidate could be. His voting record is astonishingly socialist. I fully believe that his judgment is incredibly faulty. I believe he is naive in terms of foreign policy. I fully believe socialist economic policies would only succeed in hurting the US economy that is in a precarious position right now.

Your poll choices were really amusing.

Really? I thought they were pretty stupid, actually. (and yes, I know you're being facetious). ;o)

Howso? They pretty-much represent the current crop of issues. Or are y'all still in that "vote for Obama and don't ask questions" mode?

Gives me something to do that morning in November, I suppose.

You're saying that to me? I moved from Hillary to Obama grudgingly... but the choices have nothing to do with the actual issues.

You can spin it other ways, I suppose.

That poll is bullshit and worthless. The options are loaded and biased.

 

[midcan5]

I sorta liked the Robin Hood choice.

A vote for John McCain is a vote against the fundamental principle of America, the right of the individual to lead their life privately without the government interfering.

 

[Scotso]

I voted for "strong on economics" but not for the second bit.

 

[mattskramer]

All of the above within moderation.

 

[JimH52]

Can I vote for none of the above?

I'm not voting for either of those liberals.

 

[Taomon]

I will be voting for Obama. If he is serious about reforming the business lobbys, then he will be taking the country (at least a few steps) back in the right direction.

 

[akiak]

We have a lot more to be concerned about than the lobbyist. Of course Ohama's lobbyist are known a radical activist. Does Rev Wright ring a bell.

 

[Paulie]

Weak. A poll like this should have public results.

My man!!

This is the year that a third party is going to make a huge ripple brother. Mclame may win... hussein may win... but it's going to be by the hair on their teeth to a third party candidate. It's going to shake shit up good, and the dems and the repubs are no longer going to take party line votes for granted.

I'm not sure the 3rd party will do any better than Perot did, but that was far enough in the past that most people forget about it anyway. We need another CURRENT wake-up call for the establishment.

This year, the 3rd party vote is mostly in protest of the 2-party stranglehold. I personally want a party that fulfills the desires of conservatives. I still think the GOP is that party, simply because it's one of the main 2, but they are getting out of line and they need to be taught a lesson for leaving conservatism behind.

Exactly. I agree. The republican party is acting as though it's conservative base can go screw themselves, what with RINO's like mclame and juilani running on the repub ticket. We DID have some good conservatives running, like Tancredo, Hunter, Paul and Thompson. Too many I think. It split up the conservative vote so much that now we have an angry old RINO shit bag, juan mclame that got back doored in, and he STILL doesn't have conservative support, and my guess is, WON'T! I was a life long republican, but after this circus this year and mclame on the ticket, no more. The republican party can kiss my ass, and I hope they suffer bad for ramming a RINO like mcamnesty as us.

I really don't think hussein is going to fare much better than mclame on election day. I think both he and mclame are lame duck candidates. I really do believe this is the year for a third party to make a damn good showing. I'll probably vote Libertarian this year for Barr, or maybe Paul, IF he's somewhere on a ticket.
