Who Would You Vote For?

I can't help but hope that Clinton's plan to look towards March to start winning again works as well as Giuliani's plan to wait until Florida did.

Not as much because I wish anything bad on Clinton, but because I really hope Obama gets the primary, although some of the Clinton tactics disgust me.

The Nation sort of endorses Obama in it's upcoming issue. (http://www.observer.com/2008/nation-sort-endorses-obama) Christopher Hayes gave him strong support in the current issue (http://www.thenation.com/doc/20080218/hayes).

The Nation is definitely not centrist in any way. I think their support should help very liberal people who may have thought Obama is too centrist feel better about supporting him.

I really wasn't sure if I could feel strongly about any candidate until recently. I didn't even want to say I supported anyone in particular. I worried that my tendency towards Obama was more based on a personality difference and not policy, which I think is a mistake, since you really can't tell what a politician is really like because it's their job to manipulate their image. (I must say that the Clinton campaign's manipulation, in particular Bill Clinton's, was saddening. I really had respect for Bill Clinton until recently.)

Now, though, I feel pretty strongly about Obama. Image will have a lot to do with healing the country and our international status, and I think he can do a lot of good.

If only he were for a true universal health care plan that would eliminate for-profit insurance companies, but neither candidate will do that. I don't see how healthcare will ever work right when the money is controlled by companies that are legally required to make as much money for their shareholders as possible.

I'm getting off topic, and rambling, so I'll stop now. I guess it's a sign that I'm really excited. I hope the energy that people feel towards removing government who support Ron Paul can be turned around and pushed towards creating a good government. And that, as Lincoln said, government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth. (or at least not from the USA!)

 

I hope Obama gets in there. Kucinich endorses him, yet I was still tempted to give Kucinich my vote. I felt a little compromised not doing so, but I figured if that's what Kucinich wants, it's all good.

My fear is that Obama might not make it, the Clinton's have a way of making their opponents disappear.

 

What this country needs is to stop worrying about voting. It proves nothing. You go from one shit head to the next. Do the world a favor, abolish government.

P.S. It could also use a good cigar.

 

Wow Hiram. Thats a real intelligent answer. Lets all think for a moment on what you just said.

I know it sounds like a good idea at first, but go to any third world country and see what happens when the government doesn't do shit.

Think about stuff before you blab it out. And don't start telling me about the NWO and chemtrails lol.

Obama's got my vote.

 

Word.

 

I think U.S. politics is a joke to begin with.

So I'd just start maybe sniping all the candidates.

 

Probably not the most brilliant thing...to talk about that on the net...

Just throwing that out there...

 

I don't live in the U.S.

 

Even more of a reason not to say dumb shit like that...
