Who is your pick for the '08 election?

Question

Who would you vote for in the democratic & republican primaries? Why?

Answer 1

Obama is the best man for the problems the US faces today. I think the three most difficult problems facing the US are overcoming the well earned mistrust of the billions of muslims in the world. Restoring our freedom in the United States, and restoring government for the people. And third restoring balance to the American budget. I think that Barrack Hussein Obama is the one best candidate to do those things.

Muslims beleive that this war is just a continuation of the crusades. The US is committing Genocide in their eyes. The accusations of racial, and religious prejudice have to disappear when our president is the son of a muslim, and his name is Saddam Hussein Obama.

Politics is the only job where proving you are not qualified is the best recommendation for the job. Hillary and everybody else in the race is a professional lifetime politician. Lifetime politicians are all here to fornicate with us against our will and behind our backs. An incredible 99% of his Barak's contributions came from individuals! Barak as a newcomer will not be able to use his vast network of loyalists to seize so much power that it makes him a dictator as the rest of the politicians except Ron Paul would be able to do. Ron Paul is actually the best man for this job, but he won't have any cred for the most important problem.

Barack is actually the weakest democrat on balancing the budget. But we cannot approach balancing the budget without accomplishing peace with the muslim world. Barack has said; "end the war in Iraq, end some of the special interest loopholes and earmarks that have been clogging up the system, then I think we can return to a path of a balanced budget." Source: 2007 Des Moines Register Democratic debate Dec 13, 2007 We do need to balance the budget but we will not be able to do it in the first one or two years of any president's term.

So of the three most important things all are dependent on making peace. Nobody can make peace faster than Obama. Obama is a step in the right direction on the other two. Restoring liberty, and balancing the budget. Obama is the best man for the job.

Answer 2

Have to be Huckabee. The Republican party has had a top tier selection of candidates for quite a few months now. The problem with the current top three is that they all have signifigant problems with the conservative base. Rudy has been way too liberal on social issues such as gun control and abortion. Romney has flipped on several issues and comes across as a little too polished. Fred Thompson has a good record but cannot seem to look enthusiastic and is avoiding many interview opportunities. This leaves the Republican party desperate for someone to get behind and really feel good about. After watching the debates and the interviews that the candidates have participated in, it is becoming clear the Gov. Mike Huckabee is the right candidate for the Reublican Party. His record is 100% conservative over his entire career. He has had no "flip-flop" issues and stands very firm on his principles. One of the traits Huckabee has is his ability to speak like a normal human being. He does not have the consistent flow of typical political talking points that we all love so much. Hucakbee actually understands his position and knows how to articulate them. Gov. Huckabee is right on the money with the issues that Republicans feel the strongest about. He is very strong on defense, fiscal conservative, pro-life, pro-gun rights, anti gay marriage, and strong on faith. One of the most important issues that Huckabee has presented is the idea of the Fair Tax. This plan alone should be enough to put him in the top tier of the party. The Fair Tax is the best tax reform plan ever presented.

Answer 3

Edwards. He actually has formalized plans to deal with the mess that Bush and the neocons have created.
Anyone remember when Bush took office and said that he was going to restore dignity to the office of President of the United States? PALEEESE!
HOW ABOUT THE ECONOMY TAKING A NOSE DIVE IMMEDIATELY AFTER BUSH TOOK OFFICE? The Republicans were quick to claim that it was a legacy from Clinton. Well it's 7+ years now with no relief (other than the prospect of a Democratic administration on the horizon) in sight. 50 years from now the neocons will still be blaming Clinton for their mistakes and the rest of us will still be paying for Bush's crimes against humanity and the country.

Answer 4

I'm voting for Joe Biden in the democratic primaries.
He has foreign affairs and 29yrs in senate experience.

If I had to vote in the republican primaries too, I would vote for John McCain. He seems to be one of the few republicans with integrity.

Answer 5

On the Democratic side, I'd go with Obama. He's a fresh young face to Washington and is exactly what the American people want the most: CHANGE. People don't want to elect Hilary to continue the Bush/Clinton Dynasty.

On the Republican Side, I'd go with Romney. Everything he's touched has been gold. (in a reference to him to saving the Olympics). He's comes from the business world that gets results. I think he would be the most effective agent of change.

Answer 6

I liked Gore, but apparently he isn't running. Therefore, I may just write myself in. (smile) I like Hillary the best, but I am not sure if I will vote for her.

I do not like any of the republicans running. But if I had to pick which one I like the best, it would be Ron Paul. He seems sincere.

Answer 7

Hillary Rodham-Clinton for Democrats and Mike Huckabee for Republicans, but when the election comes, I'll vote for Huckabee!

Answer 8

Hillary 1st Choice
John Edwards 2ND Choice

Answer 9

John Edwards!!!!

Answer 10

It doesn't matter.

It'll be over by the time it gets to my state.

The Presidential primaries are an antequated idea.

We should have two election days.(period)
One day to decide which candidate will represent the party. (All states hold their primaries on the same day>)
And another day to decide which party we want to represent the country.
