    i go for Obama. in my opinian, and please dont flame me on this, Hillary seems to be what we wouldnt want in a woman president; she seems a bit too jumpy about it (not saying it would be bad if she won). And i would love to at least see the historic event of at least a woman or black president, and if mcCain won i think a lot would be dissapointed in this aspect. nevertheless, i have no power to vote.

    But my question is; why didnt colbert get far in the race?! imagine him as president XD

    NOTA

    [FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif, Helv"]I'm not supporting any of the three forerunners. Despite many small detail differences, their overall plan for America is basically the same-more government expansion, even greater mass deficit and pork barrel spending, more war, more unfair trade policies, and continued currency manipulation.
    Of those, McCain would be the worst, IMO, especially with his economic policies, which aren't that much different from Bush.

    In the January 15th (Michigan) Primary (which we weren't supposed to have), I voted for Ron Paul.[/FONT]

    I'm not following the election at all.

    Hillary and Obama are to the far far left, and McCain has to many Liberal policies for me to like him.

    So, I have no reason to "root" for anyone. I'm an independent, I'm a mix of Liberal and Conservative Policies. For Instance, I believe that we should seek energy sources besides gasoline. But I also believe in keeping the government out of people lives, simply keeping the roads up and providing schools should be some of the only things the government should be doing.

    When you get socialistic, you start to move towards communism. Marx himself even said that the first step to Communism is Socialism, and I do not want America to eventually become what the Soviet Union was.

    Communism wasn't created with malign intentions or anything, it just requires a perfect, utopian society in which everyone needs to cooperate in order to function, which ain't gonna happen. On the other side of the spectrum you have libertarianism, which is just as, if not more, overly-idealistic. You gotta have balance in order to function.

    Democracy (which I personally go for) requires that just same thing. Unfortunately, as you put it, will never happen.

    McCain all the way. I want to be in Iraq, on a wild goose chase for as long as possible. :D

    I'm Canadian. And underage. So that rules me out, although I do support Clinton and Obama. More so Obama, but if either of them were elected, I would be content.

    I tend to lean Republican, mostly because the Democratic Party is a throng of incompetent morons. Take, for example, this little contest between Clinton and Obama. They've gone on way too long to have both of them still in the race. They're not doing anything but hurting their own party and making it easier for McCain.

    Do I sense a schism coming...?

    I'm not entirely sure who should be in the White House, but I'm definitely hope McCain does not get in. All he wants is war and more war.

    Barack Obama and Hilary Clinton are somewhat better choices. Hilary Clinton does seem more focused than Obama, but Obama sure is promising some new "changes" to us.

    I wonder what they'll be. Some actual changes to improve a faltering country...or another hollow promise.

    I support Obama, but if he doesn't win the Democratic nomination, I will have to look over the policies of Clinton and McCain again and figure out who I want to vote for.

    Recently, this whole issue about suspending the gas tax was brought up by McCain, and Clinton quickly jumped on the bandwagon. Only Obama has the balls to not endorse such a policy that is so obviously detrimental in the long term. The only problem is, people hear "Cutting the gas tax? Lower gas prices? Heck yeah, let's vote for them!" and put no more thought into it like how maybe the oil companies are already inflating prices so they will obviously just raise them even more since we're already used to paying so much, or barring that, how after the summer the tax will be put on again and prices will be far worse than they are now.

    I support Obama. And if not him then Hilary. So I guess that makes me democrat? I just think it's time for change in our coutry. I mean do we seriously need another old white guy in the White House? It would be a huge step forward for our country to have and African American or female president. The only problem is that racism and sexism are still veyr much alive in our country. I fear that if Obama is elected, he will most likely be assassinated :/ I'd also like our next president to be a little bit more liberal than Bush. One whose response to "Why did you start this war?" is not "Because God told me to." >.>
    Plus if anyone of them supports same sex marriages thats a big plus for me ^.^

    EDIT:

    You see it's stupid comments and people like that that are holding this country back! Generalizing a group of people as a whole is very immature. I claim that Bush is an idiot but I never call the republicans as a whole a group of idiots

    I'm voting for McCain, although I don't really care for him, he's still a Republican.

    No offense, but I would be scared if Obama or Hillary went in office:(

    I don't think it's right for a woman to be in office. As long as us women have the right to vote, let's leave it up to the men to be president.

    And Obama, it has nothing to do with race, it's what he's for. He could be white, and I still wouldn't vote for him. I know lots of white people that are for him.

    I couldn't care less about race, gender, or any of that, unlike most people around me. The All-American Southern Hick Morons (read: Ku Klux Klan) don't want a "monkey" in the White House, and my parents think women are to be barefoot and pregnant all the time. Racists and fundamentalist Christians abounding.

    I like Obama. He has guts enough to stand up and do things out of his own morality.

    Also, he hasn't called my house asking if I will vote for him yet, unlike the other two candidates. Nothing I hate more than someone who pesters me at my own desk.

    You do realize that the insurgents in Iraq want not only to topple the Iraqi Government but attack the American homeland. I live in New York State and I still remember 9/11 clearly. This one of the reasons I support the war in Iraq. We are killing them over there and not back in America.

    It takes an amazingly blasted mind to link Saddam Hussein and Mr. Bin Laden together.

    That being said, the whole "IF WE DON'T FIGHT THEM THERE, THEY'LL COME HERE" thing is a bit of a slippery slope, isn't it?

    OMG, Election2008 is as staged as Election2004. Hillary Clinton voted for the Iraq war and for the PATRIOT act. She is a member of the Bilderberg Group, which many suspect is a globalist organization. Barack Obama is being marketed as 'Mr. Change' when in reality, his advisor, Zbigniew Brzezinski, was the architect of the current situation in the middle east, and is the co-founder of the notorious Trilateral Commission, as well as a member of the Council on Foreign Relations.

    As for John McCain, he wants to stay in Iraq for 100 years. Google Iraq War Crimes, check out the lists, and see if you still support staying in Iraq for another second.

    And no surprise, John McCain is listed as a member of the notorious Council on Foreign Relations.

    I wish Dennis Kucinich was still in the race. He was anti-elite, he was against the PATRIOT Act/Surveillance/War, and he is for a new investigation of the 9/11 attacks. Truly a great candidate.

    I hope you guys can realize that this is a complete PSYOP. All of this mudslinging between Hillary and Obama? I'm not buying it. I'm not buying it at all. I am more convinced than ever that this is complete and total political theater. As this Clinton/Obama road show goes on (With staged scandal events such as "PreacherGate"), the Republicans all get behind McCain who also leads them in the wrong direction.

    Even if it's not intentional, this post still comes off as horrendously sexist and racist.

    Check out this painfully obvious Psy-Op (Psychological Operation):

    "His candidacy is so unique to this country and so important that the last thing you would want is for him not to have the opportunity to fulfill the role of a potential presidential nominee," Mr. Thompson said. "It's out of an abundance of caution that I wrote the letter, rather than keep our fingers crossed and pray."

    Before Mr. Obama decided to run for president, he discussed his safety with his family. His campaign employed a team of private security guards before he was placed under Secret Service protection. Since then, he has grown fond of the agents who surround him, inviting them to watch the Super Bowl at his home in Chicago and playing basketball with them on the days he awaits the results of an election.....

    "Barack scares those of us who think of the possibility of an assassination in a different way," Mr. Posner said. "He represents so much hope and change. That is exactly what was taken away from us in the 1960s."

    That afternoon, Mr. Obama's motorcade passed Dealey Plaza and the Texas Book Depository building, where the fatal shot was fired at President Kennedy in 1963. Several campaign aides looked out their windows, silently absorbing the scene.

    Not so for Mr. Obama, who later said he had not realized he was passing the site. And no one in his car pointed it out.

    And Obama is being backed by the Kennedy family, and has been compared to Kennedy. So then he has his motorcade pass through the exact spot where Kennedy was assassinated, and there is suspicion that he will be assassinated. All coincidence? I doubt it. More like a Psy-Op for the "I think Obama will be assassinated" folks. (See the online movie JFK II by John Hankey for evidence that proves JFK's death to be the result of a high level conspiracy)
