Trav Posted August 16, 2008 Author Posted August 16, 2008 The news always pushes for the losing guy. That's why Nobama has all the lime light I guess. That's also why McCain is winning this mock election as well. By a wide margin if I may add. Write ins...ha....might as well stay home and not vote at all. I like Huck, funny guy. Wasn't he going to make Corbert his VP? "May success follow your every cast." - Trav P. Johnson
Chief Grey Bear Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 The margin you speak so highly of keeps loosing its wide berth though. At on time it was 100%. Now its under 50%. Better close this down now before it ends up the other way.

The Caddis Posted August 17, 2008 Posted August 17, 2008 Huckabee - another Arkansas Gov for President? I'd vote for him too over the others.

taxidermist Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 After watching the questions at the Saddleback Church, Mc Cain has to win. NoBama did not have the answers.

Send it to the Recycle Bin. 4. Empty the Recycle Bin. 5. Your PC will ask you: 'Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack Obama?' 6. Firmly Click 'Yes.' 7. Feel better?

LostMyWife Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I think I will vote for myself this year. I am a life long republican, BUT, McCain is a life long democrat pretending to be a republican. I figure I can lie to the American people just as good as both of these guys. I show up for work everyday, something neither of these men can say. Obama has been running for President ever since he was elected to the Senate in IL because the repiblican leadership in my state are dumb as a box of rocks. McCain's only chance is to pick Huckabee. Obama on the other hand has more problems. I can't even type my biggest fear. It is that scary. SO I figure I am the safest candidate. LMW Yes, I'm That Guy
bigredbirdfan Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 Huckabee this. McCain a democrat. That is all B.S. There are only two men on the poll. Obama is weak and the arabs, russians, and chinese know it. If they smell blood were are all screwed. He is also the biggest phoney since John I cheat on my cancer stricken wife Edwards.

Al Agnew Posted August 18, 2008 Posted August 18, 2008 I'm going to get serious here for a moment... I very seldom vote for Republicans, because of a number of reasons...first and foremost, I cannot support most of their stances on the environment and I think their usual stances on energy issues are wrong as well. There are other reasons that I won't go into here. I am also very seldom happy with Democrats. While I agree more with their stated positions on some issues I think are very important, they seldom seem to follow through with those positions, and there are a few positions on other issues on which I disagree with them strongly--gun control issues, for instance. That is one issue that I'm GLAD they never seem to follow through. Which brings me to this election. Of all the Republican candidates, I was happiest with McCain. Had the 2000 election been between McCain and Bradley instead of Bush and Gore, I'd have been very happy and wouldn't have cared much who won. Since McCain has gotten the nomination, however, I've been less happy with him. In my opinion, he is doing the worst sort of pandering on the energy thing in pushing for offshore drilling and at least implying that it will do something to lower current gasoline prices, when he KNOWS, and so does anybody else who knows anything about the issue, that it will do nothing of the kind. While he pays lip service to developing alternative energy sources, he seems to have made the offshore drilling thing the centerpiece of his energy proposals. Don't get me wrong...I'm not totally against offshore drilling (although I AM totally against drilling in ANWR), but I would really like to see a lot more emphasis placed upon energy conservation and alternative sources. Which brings me to Obama. He was NOT my first choice of the Democrats (neither was Hillary). I think he has some potential, but he hasn't shown me much, and some of his ideas are obviously pandering as well, and just won't work. At least his ideas are a bit more in line with what I think we need on energy issues. But, I think energy is our most important issue facing the U.S. this election. It is obviously heavily linked with the economy, the environment, even the war in Iraq. And NEITHER of these candidates are telling it like it is on energy. Neither is telling us the truth, that these energy problems won't be fixed without pain and they won't be fixed easily or quickly. Neither is being a leader, both are simply being politicians running for office. This may really be the most important Presidential election we've faced in many years, and I hate it that neither candidate is exciting me. I'm going to say one more thing...no matter who is elected, we simply cannot AFFORD the partisan crap any more. We can't afford the silly attacks over insignificant issues, and the mean-spirited, deceptive sniping. I hope that we can get past that stuff, and support as much as possible whoever is elected, because it ain't gonna be an easy job and these guys are going to need all the help they can get. Okay, I'm off my soapbox.
