Who Would You Vote For?

Yup, because if that were to happen, it wouldn't be my country anymore anyway. At least not the country I grew up loving.

I already feel that way. :(

Anyway, on voting as a topic in general, Iraq is an issue for me, but I'd say that 75% of my vote is based on one issue: the economy. I'm a numbers guy, what'd you expect!

Taxes, the deficit, jobs/unemployment, wage growth, inflation, minimum wage, these are all the things I care most about. Then comes Iraq. Then comes education.

On the social issues, which rank low in my priority list, I'm pretty much a lefty. But I'm a righty on the economy. So overall, when it all averages out, I end up liking moderate republicans.

PS Nice going on 12,000, TMC.

if we keep this thread going, i might catch up to malcolm. and congrats

See you in Canada TMC, maybe we could open up one of those "coffee shops", wink-wink. ;)
now im just curious here, but are you saying you wouldnt fight for your country because:
(a) you dont agree with this war?
(b) you dont agree with this war and you dont like Bush?
(c) you cant justify risking your life for your country, no matter what the circumstances?

cutting down the armed forces was the stupidest idea ever. now instead of having soldiers making 23k a year for logistics jobs, contractors have to be paid 80-100k to do the same work. a down sized military only saves you money when they're not fighting. we could have been better off (on the economics) with our old full sized military for something like 20 more years with what's been spent on contracting in iraq thusfar.

a draft is great economically for the country, but i's terrible for the military. You end up with a lot more opposition and MUCH lower morale and effectiveness (ie higher incedents of drug use, going awol, etc).

an right now the army will let you enlist as old as 42. if a new draft is instituted, the age limits can be re-assessed if needed.

how screwed up is this? 95% on clinton. bleh.

(100%) 1: Sec. Condoleezza Rice (R) Information
(98%) 2: Sen. George Allen (R) Information
(97%) 3: Sen. John McCain (R) Information
(95%) 4: Ex-VP Al Gore (D) Information
(95%) 5: Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) Information
(93%) 6: Gov. Bill Richardson (D) Information
(89%) 7: Ex-Mayor Rudy Giuliani (R)

i'd go for mccain, or giuliani. I don't think i'd EVER vote for rice or hillary (not that they're women, just that i don't like them all that much). my results are screwy cause libertarian types are
in between (conservative economics, more liberal socially).

i think this survey wasn't very good though. Like, i don't care about immigration per say, only ILLEGAL immigration, especially those that are collecting benefits without paying taxes, but that wasn't an option, only 300k/year or don't worry about it.


btw, i think the best race would be mccain vs obama... obama probably needs more experience, but if a dem has to win...

(100%) 1: Sen. George Allen (R) Information
(91%) 2: Rep. Duncan Hunter (R) Information
(88%) 3: Sen. Sam Brownback (R) Information

I think it's interesting to note that Obama, who I hope wins the Democratic nomination finished dead last for me. Also, Giuliani finished halfway down the list for me, and I want him to be our next president.

Ih Hillary becomes president, I leave the country. If Barack "Osama" Obama is The PRES, I might flee the USA too. He just looks like Osama win his beard shamved off. I mean come on...OBAMA!? Who ever heard of this guy B4 Osama went missing? NEVER! If he gets elected and gets up on the podium and spouts that he's OSAMA and he's now our elected leader and he fooled the american capitalist pig dogs, I would choke on my own vomit while screeching the words "I told you so".

OK..rant over....VOTE SANTANA MOSS FOR PRESIDENT!

you will not vote for somebody because of their name? boy, you are deep, arent you?
