Whos your favourite canditate?

**dragonoverlord** · 02-01-2008 10:44 PM

Im not american but im just wondering who are you supporting to be president of the USA?

For me i was actuallys urprised that the my favourite canditate is a republican...Ron Paul. He seems to know what he's talking about and he is honest and he doesn't wrap everything he says with spin.

I heard him talking as opposed to the other canditates talking and i noticed that Ron Paul was the only one who didn't put a spin on everything he said.

Like that Huckabee. He said "Ill tell you why i support Raegan". LOL obvious spin.

Also Ron Paul is the only republican canditate who didn't vote to go to war with iraq. and his record is pretty honest to. He votes how he thinks he doesnt vote with his thumb in the wind.

Unfortunately knowing america he wont ge elected

Just to many things going against him including biase and his views arent convenient for some people with lots of influence.

anyway enough of my rant who do you support and why?

It's all screwed up. Ron Paul is really a Libertarian, John McCain is really a Democrat, and Hillary Clinton is really Satan. I agree with Libertarians on everything, except I come nowhere near agreeing with them on foreign policy. I also think Ron Paul is a wimp who always sounds like he is on the edge of whimpering, "I'm gonna go tell," so I think he would be a weak leader even if he changed his foreign policy views. Mitt Romney comes across as a slick business man who could just as easily have been a Democrat and talked like one if he thought that would get him further. Barack Obama said we should invade Pakistan

but is otherwise way too left wing on foreign policy, just like he is on economics. Mike Huckabee is finished, but I would never consider voting for a Baptist preacher any way. Giuliani is out of the race, and I think the Republicans, because of their right wing fundamentalist faction, really screwed up by not making him the nominee. Nobody else is even worth mentioning.

Conclusion: All of our options suck, as always.

The Poll Should at least include all the candidates. Are we in Africa or something?

OK Check this test out. All it does is compare you views to that of each candidate. Then gives you percentages.
From what I can tell, the views that are reflected are accurate.
Please note if you see otherwise.

Who is your candidate?

That thing wasn't accurate for me at all. I got Hilary with it.

Whoever voted for Obama, could you explain why?

**tkdyo** · 02-02-2008 01:44 AM

that wasnt accurate for me either, it said Huckabee, and I want Ron Paul! it didnt even show most of the issues I care about

Because he's black!

Not caring about this so cool.

**Howie** · 02-02-2008 04:58 PM

I got Hillary too. But look at the data. If it matches it matches.

*points to the "i've got a crush on Obama" thread*

I'm voting for Paul, and thats who I got on that little quiz thing.

You know Ron Paul has been in the house banking committee while in congress for a long time? Hes been talking about the economy since the first time he got elected in the 1970's, and probably even before that. You know Ron Paul has a Doctorate in medicine, and ran his own practice for a while? He was also joined the Air Force as a flight surgeon, and reached the rank of captain?

Hes a very smart man and he knows what he is talking about. If you ever watch him it becomes obvious he knows far more than any of the other people running.

Amen!

Anyway im just alittle curious if all the votes Ron Paul got reflect peoples views or it is just because i gave him so much praise in my initial question.

I have heard however that on online polls Ron Paul ends up getting the majority of the votes but that is not so in real life...I wonder.

**Valwen** · 02-03-2008 08:18 PM

I haven't made up my mind at all, but I generally agree more with republicans.
I really don't care about this election, though I will be able to vote for the first time.
Howie's link suggested I like Huckabee then Ron Paul then McCain I think.
