who of the candidates are you voting for in 2008 and why?

Question

linton, Romney, Obama, Biden, Dodd, Edwards, Gravel, Kucinich, Richardson, or one of the minorities...

I can't vote because I am not old enough, and I wanted to know who your voting for, those of you who are old enough.

sorry, that name was actually clinton, not linton.

Ive noticed none of you have said anything about mitt Romney.... any opinions on him?

Answer 1

No no, you meant linton from the start. She deserves to be called linton.

I am voting for Giuliani

Answer 2

None, I have decided after all these years that all politicians are liars and thieves. Never since John Adams has any Prez kept any campaign promises and invariably got rich lying to all of the people he was supposed to represent. Also, your vote, no matter what the government, teachers and everyone else tells you does NOT count. With the electoral college, even if everyone in the country voted for one candidate and the electoral college voted for another, who do you think will get elected? The one from the electoral college votes, yes. Which is why I am not voting this time. Besides nothing ever gets done to correct the problems in this country because the Prez is always trying to cater to other countries so he spends a lot of our tax dollars shoring up foreign economies instead of our own. In my opinion.

Answer 3

After much consideration, I believe I'll start by voting for Bill Richardson in the primaries as he is the most experienced candidate both in political office, government jobs and private life. Then we'll see who wins the nomination and go from there. I like John Edwards in many ways but the longer he campaigns the more problems he seems to create for himself; if she wasn't suffering from (probably terminal) cancer, Elizabeth -- a strong, intelligent, compassionate, down-to-earth woman --might have been a better candidate! I believe Clinton-Richardson might be a strong ticket if current conventional wisdom prevails and Richardson doesn't win the nomination himself.

Answer 4

My perspective in order that I'd vote for them:
KUCINICH is amazing. though squirrelly as he may be, I think he's in it from the heart. politics as they are may not allow him to win, but he's got my vote.
OBAMA, awesome, good speaker, but not overly a politician drone. He's human, makes mistakes, but would do a great job. I hope he wins with Kucinich (fingers crossed) or Clinton as VP
RON PAUL interesting perspectives as a liberetarian, and would awesome having another party in power besides left and right.
CLINTON sounds like any other politician drone. It scares me honestly, cant tell what is behind that. Doesnt seem honest.
EDWARDS says nothing of substance and seems flustered all the time. I think he wants to be hilary's VP.
RICHARDSON sounds like a broken record and though I was excited about someone with as much international experience as he has had, he is far too pessimistic and against alot ot the things I stand for.
DODD I like that he was in the Peace Corp.. other than that.. I feel like he doesnt have anything unique to offer.
BIDEN I could care less about. Not a bad guy I guess but his PRO-WARlike attitude scares me.
GRAVEL is fun and says stuff noone else dares too. I appreciated him but just sounds like a grumpy old man at this point.
I wouldn't really vote for a republican...

When will anyone start talking about the US's falling roll as a world leader and how they need to learn to play well with the rising economic (& military) powers of China (who has invested all over the world including resource rich Africa), the European Union who has done more to unify countries in the last years to benefit all than I can recall happening in history. Brasil's growing economic power. India's powerful human resource. Very few countries respect the US after the last administration let alone look up to us as a world power, how do we plan on mending that and learn to play as an equal. I want to hear that question answered. .. but all that matters outside us is IRAQ I guess.. because our boys ar there. When will somone acknowledge that foreign policy is more than war policy and having a good one not only keeps us out of war it keeps other countries at peace and out of war. We've failed at that.

Answer 5

I'm not sure who I will vote for in the primary but it will be whoever has the biggest lead over Rottenham-Clinton. If the DNC is foolish enough to allow Clinton to run then I will vote for the Repub in the general election no matter who it is.

Answer 6

I will vote for the candidate who vows protect the lives of unborn children, deport all illegals, secure our borders, provide jobs for returning military, stops importing products that can be made, grown or produced in the USA, stops exporting jobs, protects our 2nd Amendment rights, enforces environmental laws on every factory and company who is polluting our air, water and land, protects our wildlife, parks and forests from being stripped of their trees or turned into development, and agrees to stand by what they say during their campaign or be held accountable to perjury for false representation during their campaign.

Do we have one of these candidates running for office? I'm still looking, but so far Ron Paul seems to be the closest match. He just needs to protect the environment and wildlife to fit my description.

Both Clinton and Obama want to grant amnesty to illegals who have broken our laws by stealing US Citizens' Ids, jobs and benefits. They are both supported by big businesses who hire illegals who do not pay taxes and who outsource their work to other countries. They say they want to protect the environment, but I don't see them doing anything about it while they are Senators. BP wants to pollute our drinking water in Chicago - where Clinton was raised and Obama is Senator. What are they doing to stop it? In fact, what have they done for us lately?

I hope when you are old enough to vote that you will also look at all of the issues that are important to both yourself and your country before selecting a candidate. They can either help make your life easier or destroy your future with the stroke of a pen.

Answer 7

None of the above. If Thompson runs then I will vote for him. If not the Guliani.

Answer 8

Definitely not Clinton, she needs to burn in hell.

Ron Paul is so far my favorite, haven't looked into very many others honestly..

Answer 9

I will not vote for Clinton becuase so many will vote for her only because she is a woman. (In addition, she was the brains behind Whitewater...think about it...)


I will not vote for Obama because so many will vote for him only because he is black. (He has yet to respond to any question with a direct answer.....think about it. )
