Okay, this topic is started partly to try and get some conversation going- the forum's been dead the last few days, also, partly because I'm curious. Since I don't live in America, I only get third hand information about the election and even then I have to go looking for it. So, I was interested, what's the general feeling?

I would vote for Obama. I'm not going to pretend I know anything about politics but when McCain has the same views as Bush it doesn't seem like anything different will happen. Also his second in command seems a little bit stupid and just there for show.

I would vote for Obama, 1) because I don't like the Republican party or their policies, and 2) because I really believe that under his wing, the USA can start to make some positive changes. I don't know much about their politics and situation, but I know enough, and I really think he's the right guy if there's going to be any sort of improvement. Obama FTW!

I'm not voting for either of those (*&)(&*&^^##@@!
Both parties are nothing but collective parasites feeding on the liberties of their rivals. Trading the other's freedoms for the sake of some tiny degree of security for themselves.
That being said, if I'd have to choose I guess it would be the evil republican. Don't get me wrong, I hate them both equally, but I haven't heard Obama make a single tangible comment on an issue yet. Just glaring generalities about change and other items that, when taken out of context mean,,,, nothing. He has no context to his cmapaign.
Oh, And I don't know crap about this stuff. I make it my moral oblegation to avoid the pervasively incidious media at all costs.

Usually there are some other, independent, candidates. Are there any this year?

Didn't Jello Biafra run for president once? I'd vote for him

Yes, I believe Jello did run a write in campaign once.. haha, I forgot about that. Yes, there are several other candidates but do you ever see those guys on the TV? I tend to side with the Libertarian party more than most of them but in the end they are all politicians, parasites. Who cares?
Ok, I am bitter,,, today.

Very well said beagle. The political system sure is depressing, isn't it?

They all look kind of dicky from over here. But Mcains vice was described as gun totting thismorning that cant be good. I cant say much I voted for the guy who eats his own ear wax. I just couldnt stand looking at those bushy eyebrows anymore.
ps Erin screams in protest at any election she cant vote at (which is alot).

I don't have a problem with gun toting. In America, a country which has some of the most liberal gun laws in the world, the average is around a 1 in 23,000 chance of being killed by a gun during a year. Edjucate yourself on gun safety, avoid dangerous circumstances and reduce your chance by who knows how much.
You have a one in 10,000 chance of dying in an automobile accident each time you get in a car.
You really afraid of dying? outlaw alcohol, that would save a lot more people than outlawing guns. Oh, you like alcohol, but not guns? think

Truth is, freedom is dangerous. Either scramble to seize some tiny bit of safety at the expense of another's freedoms or man-up and accept some tiny risk in favor of Liberty.
