SRK General Elections Revised

[Jion_Wansu]

I added some of the 3rd parties so vote away!!!

[ckrazy]

Obama!

Let be honest here 3rd party will not win so it either McCain or Obama and I choose Obama. Plus the dude has swag is black and is the future!

[Lobelia Mk. IV]

Barack Fucking Obama.
He is the FUTURE.

[bear]

I'm still voting for Opips.

[Unreallystic]

I don't know what I'm doing this election I can't stand any of the candidates. I'm actually leaning towards McCain even though I'm democratic. I'd hate for the first black president to waste his time trying to clean this crap up, its not happening in one presidency...possibly not even in two or three. Besides he talks way too much shit without anything to back it up. So I'm torn. I think the vice president pick will be the deciding factory entirely for me...
- :bluu:

[jae hoon]

All the candidates suck, none of the above.

[Missing Person]

As long as Obama does NOT select Clinton as his running mate, I'm voting for him.

[nGuman]

Barack To The Future!

[drobizh]

Obama is going to win this.

[Missing Person]

This should be one of the toughest presidential elections in a long time.

I actually would've voted for McCain in 2000 or in '04. (Well, if I could've voted in 2000). But Barack has just simply changed the way campagins are run in this nation, with some solid platforms.

Example? I don't really follow the elections here in EU, but from what I've heard on the news he's got a real chance to win this.

Changing campaigns: Not taking large sums of money from special interest groups. The bulk of his contributions have come from individuals. A lot of McCain's contributions have come from special interest groups and big businesses.

He has a very strong position on the issues. Check out his site if you want to know more about them:

[white shadow]

No one as of yet. This just seems like one big joke because no single man or woman can solve all these problems created by 8 years of persistent corruption and laziness. The things I've witnessed and read in the last decade has made me very apathetic to the whole political process, which just seems like a convenient way to mete out illusory power to the masses. In reality, this enchantment of progress is like painting feces with a new sheen of gold every 4 years.

Not preaching out some anarchist manifesto but just typing my mind, this shit looks dumb to me now.

[Higher-Jin]

I'm voting obama. McCain currently has 3 votes, which if you ask me is 3 votes too many. Why would anyone vote for McCain a.k.a. George Bush III: 3rd Strike?

[Missing Person]

^I agree with the point that McCain will be Bush's puppet if he gets elected. In 2000, I would've said no. But since 9/11, he has virutally yes-manned every single Bush policy that's come out.

I do, however, also agree that no President can undo everything Bush did. But, you gotta think, when the nation was in such a bad state when Reagan took office, he didn't fix the entire nation in either of his terms. But he sent us in the right direction. Obama, I believe, would send the nation in a positive route toward recovery, but it certainly won't be fixed in either of his terms, if he gets elected the second term. But it will be a step in the right direction.

History will repeat itself and whomever SRK picks will lose.

Obama's is about 67% coded or donations from lobbyist. The rest is from unidentified or ambiguous donors with only about 10% comeing from the grass roots. So 90% of 150 million dollars comes from people he will owe political favors too. He basically changed the format getting firms to donate as individuals so he can say he does not take evil lobbyist money when in fact he does.

That website is very short on specifics he has not listed any memorable policy points beyond Hope, Change, Raise Taxes, Tax companies for making a profit so consumers can pay higher prices and leave Iraq. I know it is very hard to take a jaundiced look at the candidate you want to have bad touch you but he is just a typical politician claiming he is not.

[Gord]

Wait, the constitution party (:rofl:) gets in, but green party doesn't?

Did I miss a disqualification or something?

Edit:

Oh they haven't chosen a candidate yet right.

[jae hoon]

I take Dennis Learys advice and vote for a dead guy. It is a better choice between Bush III and a Facist in disguise.

[Galactic]

Hmm... where's "Galactic" on that list?

Of the ^_-; Party.

^_-;

[Serpent]

Write me in guys. I'll lead us to the next generation.

[ckrazy]

Everyone still voting for Obama looks like. You guys do realize that there are more choices than just Obama or McCain, right?

Not with a legitimate chance at winning.

[Jion_Wansu]

If everyone thinks like that then yes. We need to start a revolution and be less apathetic to the cause and do vote for third parties this year across the board. If you vote Republican or Democrat this year then you're on of the sheople.

The revolution will COME only when WHITE people are no longer the MAJORITY in America. ( I still love my white people but I'm just saying you guys are killing us!) Until then we wait.

[n8archer_XI]

McCain is Bush reincarnated, and some Republicans can't even vote for that:

Barack FTW!!! ('08)

[Missing Person]

If the nation would stop thinking like this, a third party could compete with Dems and Reps:

Not with a legitimate chance at winning.

[Phoenix Wright]

The media should let the 3rd party candidates debate against the major party candidates on live TV. Barr, McKinney & Nader would slaughter Obama senseless on the issues.

As much as Nader and co. would slaughter Obama, do you really think people will all of a sudden vote in droves for those guys?
Hell No.

And lets be honest and i know i'll probably be out of line for saying this but do you think foreign leaders want to talk to another white person as president especially after the last one FUCKED everyone over with this economy mess.
Obama is the future and i think it will show other country's that were not a bunch a dumbass people.

[Septimus Prime]

We have a thread for this discussion.

[quiche]

Had to pick Obama cause Cynthia McKinney wasn't on there.

How can you sleep on the Green Party?

...seriously.

[MiyagiShin X]

Did people get there polling locations yet?

[Jion_Wansu]

Vote, Vote, Vote!!!!!!!! we got roughly 20 hours left to find out who our next president will be!!!!!!!!

it's weird, this same exact poll on http://forums.realmmedia.com favors McCain and here it's Obama!!! I'm under Jion_Wansu on that forum as well
