Who are you voting for and why?

Question

Since we are all random, unknown people on the internet....express your feelings on the candidate of your choice.

Answer 1

A Obama/Biden ticket would be my choice . Obama would bring a renewed sense of what America truly is. That unlike the rest of the world we have been working on our racial divisions. With Biden as v-p he would add the Washington and foreign policy experience Obama lacks. If I was to vote republican I think McCain has the strongest credentials with John Warner as the VP.

Answer 2

At this point in time I am leaning toward Borock Obama. I think he has the passion and the intelligence to lead this Country out of the misguided and damaging times our current President has put us in. I don't see him being too soft on Terrorism or being to overzealous to go to war and I think he has the will to create a new idea of government; away from the usual scandals and legislating for personal gain that we have come to associate with the Federal Government.

I will support any Democrat who wins the nomination because I have grown very tired of what the current Republican Leadership has done. Our President has shown a willingness to lie to the American People on a number of occasions when justifying war and defending torture. He has shown a complete unwillingness to work with Democrats even after they took control of Congress, his 6 vetoes this year alone is proof of that. And his fellow Republicans in Congress who continue to ignore the will of the people and instead only listen to the will of a failed President. The vast majority of this Country, for example, wants the Child Health Care bill to be expanded. Yet 141 Republicans in the House and 30 Republicans in the Senate continue to vote against it. I don't feel the Republicans at this time understand or even care about what it means to be a Government for the people.

Answer 3

Preferrably I'd chose a Duncan Hunter/Tom Tancredo ticket. Since neither of them are likely to get the republican nomination. I'd like to see a Fred Thompson/Mitt Romney ticket.

The first two in my opinion, are the most conservative of the bunch. Thompson is also very conservative, Romney not quite as much as Thompson, but he is an awesome business man. Fiscal experience the White House could use.

Answer 4

I would love to see Rudy in the WH!

I would love to see a president who cares enough about the unborn to start a national adoption campaign similar to what he did in NYC. I get so excited when I think about that!

Otherwise, I admire all his accomplishments and stances.

Answer 5

I am not sure yet.

I really like Ron Paul and his staunch constitutionality. I also really think Obama and possibly Edwards really want to change the status quo in politics.

I still need to do more research.

I like Biden as well, though I think he doesn't go far enough against politics as usual.

Answer 6

Whoever wins the nomination for the Democrats.

Radical Right Wings needs to be stopped!!!

Answer 7

Dennis Kucinich! And some of my reasons can be found in the following article:

*Elizabeth Kucinich, wife of Democratic presidential candidate, U.S. Rep.
Dennis Kucinich, D.-Ohio, said voters in the January caucus really need a
choice between the Democratic and Republican candidate.*

Kucinich's speech to a small gathering at Democratic Party headquarters
Wednesday night set her husband well apart from other candidates. She spoke
about a resolution to impeach Vice-President Dick Cheney, an initiative for
public funding of elections and trading community service for a free college
education, ideas well out of the mainstream discussion in the 2008 campaign.

*"This whole morphing of the Democratic Party into the Republican Party,
trying to align them so closely that there is no choice, there is no
difference, it's not working. It's weakening the party and strengthening the
Republicans, " Kucinich said.*

A native of Great Britain, Kucinich exhibited much of her idealism from the
days when she volunteered to work with Mother Teresa in India in 1996 and
worked for an advocate for regional development in Tanzania after receiving
her Masters degree at the University of Kent.

*"We don't want more of the same. We don't want it wrapped up in a blue
banner as opposed to a red banner," Kucinich said.*

None of the other candidates talk about a non-profit health care system,
withdrawing immediately from Iraq, canceling the North American Free Trade
Agreement and replacing it with an agreement protecting workers rights and
the environment, she said.

America has been told by the media we're "between a rock and a hard place"
in Iraq, we have to stand in what she called an illegal occupation or leave
and create a vacuum. Kuchinich said there's plenty of middle ground, an
international peace force should be formed, including Moslem armies, to
replace American troops that leave.

Kuchinich charged a benchmark set for the Iraqi government, promoting the
sharing of oil revenue between Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds in Iraq was really
a document about letting international oil interests get their hands on
privatizing Iraqi oil. The doctrine of "peace through strength" is really
about pre-emptive strikes, unilateralism, undermining international law,
isolating America from the rest of the world and not engaging in diplomacy,
Kucinich charged.

Voters need to break the hold insurance companies and corporations have on
the fiscal process, including health care, Kuchinich said.

"The way to do that is to elect someone who really will pitch for an
amendment to the constitution which calls for public financing of
elections," she said.

Other candidates talk about health care reform, but she charged it was
merely subsidizing private insurance company plans. There would still be
premiums, co-pays and deductibles. Kuchinich's plan would have the
government as a single payer.

"You have 2.9 percent taken out now for Medicare, a couple more percent
taken out of your salary and that will cover your whole medical expenses,"
Kuchinich said.

Kuchinich said her husband's 12 point plan includes a Works Green
Administration, similar to the Works Public Administration of the Depression
years. She talked about an ambitious plan to retrofit American homes with
wind turbines and solar panels. Mass transit systems are also desperately
needed, she said.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) should be put to
work on these projects, instead of sending people to the moon, Kucinich
said. America should take the fat out of the Pentagon budget, she said.
The peace through strength policy should be turned on its head to strength
through peace, she said
