The "Who do you want for president thread"???

[h0lmes]

There is not a single candidate worthy enough to hold the office of president. Obama is inexperienced and is only the front runner because he is a charismatic speaker. Clinton is a woman, need I say more? I would be voting for Mccain if it weren't for his role in the Air Force tanker deal. I will probably just be writing Ron Paul's name in or something.

[JGood]

I will not vote. Im not educated in this field, so I will leave it for those who are. And I will just trust the majority of those hip with this election.

I wish people who didnt know what the fuck was going on wouldnt vote either. It disgusts me to see pieces of shit outside of walmart registering to vote. Those are the LAST motherfuckers I want voting for my president. Thats probably how we got good ol dub ya.

You have the right to vote, but it is not a duty or an obligation. I choose not to, and like said earlier, I wish those who were clueless would chose not to as well.

With that said, I like McCain. He was real big with the steroid issues in MLB lol.

I agree 100%, and that's the reason I haven't voted, and am not voting. I try to learn what I can, but I don't feel I'm in a position to make the decision, nor are the majority of the assclowns in our society.

If we survived 8 years with bush, whats another 4-8 with another turd sandwich or giant douche as president.

We wouldn't survive 8 more years with bush.

A agree with you on the first part. Huckabee is a jakass.

Do you care to expand? I understood that you did not like Huckabee, I am just curious why.

[Turf1600]

Because he likes to say what he has to say about religion - but when asked he bitches and moans about how it's irrelevant. He dodges the critical and possibly separating questions regarding faith.

Republican convention ends on same night as NFL Thursday night opener. Priorities? McCain's acceptance speech or are you ready for some football. What were they thinking? Were they thinking at all?

Its funny that football comes before politics.

BILL Clinton


^ Yeah I went there.

^^^ you basically have that as a choice- you just gotta buy the shitty happy meal to the get toy along with it.

I can't stand either of them, so McCain's my vote. I've probably been a bit more exposed to him and his views than a lot on the board (he comes around every once in a while- he's class of '58 and I'm class of '08, and they also tend to focus on his experiences both as a POW and the fire he was involved in on the deck of a carrier during vietnam- crazy stuff.

He worked as a staffer in Congress during his time in the Navy, and sacrificed more than just about anybody for his country. I personally don't think you can adaquately appreciate anything, particularly America, our government, and our way of life until you've put it before yourself, and sacrificed on its behalf; he also has the experience to do the job well, unlike the other two who both have no record of service to the country outside of politics. Hell, Obama doesn't even cover his heart during the pledge of allegiance or the National Anthem, and wants to socialize us all. So does Hilary to a different extent.

One final thought- how is the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces going to assume that job without any prior military experience?

War of 1812 James Madison.
Civil War Abraham Lincoln
Spanish American War McKinley
WWI Woodrow Wilson
WWII FDR
Korean War Harry Truman
Viet Nam Kennedy-Navy for real, LBJ-play soldier, and Nixon-4F
Gulf I Bush Sr.-for real
Gulf II "W" play time
Most of the wartime presidents had no military experience at all. The only war time president with "real" military experience (Bush, Sr.) pretty much turned it over to "Stormin' Norman" Schwarzkopf who led the UN Forces.

^^^ yeah. I stand by my statement, but I also realize it isn't always the case how it works out.

[ragged325]

The big question about McCain is, "Who is his running mate?" Besides being old, the man has a ton of health problems due to age and his traumatic past. It's probably more important than McCain himself. Especially because of the way people "age" as President. He has white hair going in.
No matter who you vote for, a politician gets elected!

I agree with this. I was around when Reagan was president, and at the end, no one really knew if the guy had alzeimer's or not. He wouldn't show up in public and you really weren't sure if he could even recognize his wife, but he was in charge of pushing the button to send nukes everywhere.

When Bill Clinton won in 1996, my dad and all the Republicans bitched and moaned about how horrible it was. I asked him why the Republicans thought it would be a good idea to run a 73 year old man against him (Bob Dole) and then he shut up. I'm an independent by the way and would have liked to see Bloomberg run (but I'm not sure who to vote for now).

I do think the war in Iraq is the biggest fuckup this country has made. It's costing our country 2 billion dollars a week to be there. I've never heard a Republican talk about how we can pay for it. Their only solution is to cut taxes. "Conservatives" my ass.
