Elections - July 2007

I've seen people ask questions if Romney will free Warren Jeffs, legalize polygamy, and other silly things. Fact: if you're a polygamist in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, you get excommunicated. It was a practice done 100+ years ago out of necessity, as many Mormon fathers and husbands were murdered leaving no one to care for their families. It is no longer practiced by LDS people, although small groups claiming to be "fundamentalists" still do.

So, why are people making such a big deal out of a guy who has strong moral character, great leadership, and family values? Sound so terrible?

p.s. Of the top GOP candidates, he's the only one with one wife.........

The way is vey simple. Put on the national ballet a law that raises the minimum drinking age to 25. Personally there are many many benefits to this law and it would help colleges with the binge drinking and under age drinking problem. but most importantly it would never pass because every college student would vote against it. passionately. what do you think? i think we should do it for the next presidential election. trust me students would care about politics then.

Keep your answers to viable candidates who are running. Fred Thompson is acceptable too.

Choose one person from each party...

Democrat - Clinton, Obama, Edwards

Republican - Giuliani, McCain, Romney

[Essentially, I am only posting the names of candidates who have double-digit support in the polls. Also, I'm leaving out candidates like Fred Thompson who have not officially declared their candidacy].

"Several years ago, I asked for and received forgiveness from God and my wife in confession and marriage counseling. Out of respect for my family, I will keep my discussion of the matter there — with God and them. But I certainly offer my deep and sincere apologies to all I have disappointed and let down in any way."...yeah, that's the ticket

Story link in full anticipation of liberal whine...

No one asked or wanted Ms. Pelosi to go to a terrorist country and muddy the diplomatic process for Iraqi freedom from al qaeda. For some odd reason she feels she was successfull despite the clear use of her for poltical gain. This would be an opportunity for women in a struggle for equality to use her "expertise" in this matter.
quote:
Cows, as well as bulls, have four legs and a natural instinct to run," says their manifesto. "An encierro for cows, would put Pamplona at the vanguard of traditional fiestas with equality for men and women."
as Ms. Pelosi is so readily identified with a common bi-product associated with the regular feeding of cows and bulls, shouldnt running with the bulls be a small price to pay for a diplomatic advance for women where she can expand on the expertise she has so clearly demonstrated with 757gate, the non taxpaying vote grant and more?

not so much of a question, but more of a poll to see how many people support him
and what in particular do you like about his views?

Barak Obama seems to have inspired many Americans as a road to change, but with Muslim Radicals perpetrating acts of violence against the west, is the USA prepared to vote in a man who is not only a Muslim but studied at a known fundementalist Islamic school? Can this be reconciled with America's security?

I think voting should be mandatory... sort of.

1. A list of multiple choice questions is formulated.
2. Candidates answer questions.
3. Voters answer questions.
4. Rather than actually voting for a candidate, the person's vote goes to the candidate who the voter agreed with most often.

I think that solves a couple of problems. First, the candidate is actually forced to say what he agrees with - no more flip flopping or ambiguous answers. Also, voters won't have to research candidates (since most are too lazy and instead vote along party lines or according to which candidate they like the best).

I'm serious - though of course this system would never actually be used - but I'd still like some responses!

Example question:
1. Gay marriage:
A. should be completely legalized.
B. should not be legalized. Civil unions should be available to gays in place of legal marriage.
C. should never be legalized.
D. is an abomination. Homosexuality should be illegal, too.

Do you think it will be good idea to make voting compulsory with an option to vote ‘NONE OF THE ABOVE’, and if ‘NONE OF THE ABOVE’ gets maximum votes, elections should be redone preferably with new candidates.

This is by far the most polarized election I have seen. The Democratic Media has come out full force in deluging the American public about however everything Republican is negative... How much do you really believe?

making accusations but RARELY take responsibilties for their own actions or hold leaders from their own party accountable? At least republicans will criticize their own if they disagree with their leaders (immigration). Am I just crazy or do you see this too?

I think Sheehan is delusional. I think she has used her son's death as an excuse to gain sympathy and credibility. I think she is a nutcase who doesn't stand a chance of being elected to any office. She especially couldn't beat Pelosi.
