If the Presidential Election was held tomorrow, who would you vote for?
-
Given the choice as you put it and not knowing who will be running against Obama I would vote for anyone but Obama. If I had my pick of everyone currently in the race to run it is a bit more difficult to decide on exactly which person, but I would want them to have an understanding of the economy and a thirst to reduce the size and scope of the federal government.

obama i suppose don't really think who is president makes that much difference anyway

I agree totally. I am hoping for some hope and change from This hope and change. I don't to get in an argument with anyone because to each his own, but it is like for me Obama is the opposite president. On every issue whatever I would choose to do, he does the opposite. It is amazing how people can think so differently and both be sure they are right.

These Republicans are jokes. Obama's the best option.

President Obama! :thumbsup: He is still trying to help the little man. :) He knows what its like to be poor, he knows how hard work is to get rich. He is trying to help hard working middle and low income people, keep more of our hard worked for money. :thumbsup:

I will vote the same way I did last election Obama all the way.

He's trying to help the little man as much as Mao Tse Tung and Stalin did! Poor working people in China and Russia fell for that lie, and then they all ended up being slaves to the government. What people in this country don't realize is that the Communists don't tolerate "non-productive" members of society, like people on welfare and disability. Yet these are the ones taht vote for Obama, whose agenda is exactly like that of Stalin and other Communist leaders. He'll give you change, and make it sound like the kind you want, but it'll turn out to be something very different.
By the way, Obama didn't exactly work hard to become rich. He was hand-picked years ago by the world powers, who paid for his education and puched him up the ladder.

Wow. Is this supposed to be some type of parody, or do you honestly believe this drivel you're spouting? ::)

Well I agree he does not know what it is like to be poor. In everything I have read about him he was never poor, so I don't know why you assume he knows what it is like to be poor.
The fact that he just spent two weeks basking in the sun of Hawaii and golfing on our dime just goes to show how concerned he is about poor people. I lost count of how many vacations he has had while Americans try to pay for food. An AP reporter calculated the amount of time he has spent on the golf course since he has been in office. The total is 3 Months!!!
I know you will say that he works hard and deserves to relax. Yes, but don't we all? In my lifetime America has not had such hard times. All presidents take vacations and leisure time, but during the economic hardships while people are hurting a compassionate president would avoid these expenses until things get better.
And about helping the little guy. Is the little guy better off now?

Although I voted for Obama in 2008, I feel if I had to vote tomorrow, I'd vote for Ron Paul. I completely agree with him bringing the troops back home all around the world and fixing our border problems. We waste billions a year in places we don't need to be in. The movie "Team America" hit the nail on the head. We are the World Police...and most of the world hates us for it. Although I don't feel Obama has done wonders, he is still doing a better job than Bush did. At least Obama got our troops back home. The main focus needs to be the economy, because it's awful. There's very little opportunity for recent college grads. We aren't making enough money to pay our bills. The only cities with jobs are cities we can't afford to live in. I don't think Gingrich, Romney, and especially Santorum have any touch of reality when it comes to that, unless they can prove me otherwise.

I actually think you are pretty close to the truth here (whether or not Obama's intentions are deliberately malicious or not as often these types of tyrants fall prey to the "for the good of all" thinking and assume their actions are good when they are actually not). The problem is that you cannot convince this to liberals and most Obama supporters. They are blinded by ideology and are used to being told how and what to think. They don't even consider Mao and Stalin as bad people and some even honor and respect them. They fail to realize what these type of people do after they exhaust the wealth of the industrious and finally when they do it is too late for them and all they can do is hope that the next time this happens the people will not be so foolishly blinded as they were.

I'm not quite sure actually...still trying to sort through the Republican candidates, especially now that Santorum is on the rise....
btw...read Atlas Shrugged

Since I believe in hard work and not mooching off the government/socialism/communism, I would vote for anyone besides Obama.

I knew that "Abrupt" would comment (why is he such an Obama hater? -Chill on the hatorade dude). Staunch republicans, interested in what is best for the country, can't even make a clear choice. Romney and Obama represent the best chance for our country to move ahead. Romney's religion has the republicans searching for someone to beat him because of their conservative religious ties. Santorum doesn't have the money to run a full campaign unless he gets Gingrich's money. Nobody has checked his background out because they didn't believe he was a serious contender. Gingrich thinks he has a chance but the conservative's have a hard time with his spousal loyalty (how many divorces?). Perry still in the race...are you serious? Bachman backing out? Duh. Palin probably thinks she is still going to get in (lol). I am divided between Obama and Romney and would probably vote for Obama if it came down to it...today.

Where do you see hatred from me? You are so far off the mark here that I wonder just how you read my words. I don't have much hate in me and I would venture that among the population of the world I would fall within the 1% with the least amount of hate. Speaking of hatred, your mocking tone of Bachman and Palin seems to suggest your hatred for women, or at least that you don't value the capabilities of women.
Now if you want to know my dislike for Obama, well you can read much of what I have posted in relations to the policies he has advocated for and his disregard for the freedoms of Americans and the authority of The Constitution, and the separation of powers. He has openly ridiculed and mocked The Supreme Court. He has executed unlawful powers that are not his, but exclusive the Congress. He has repeatedly indicated his dislike for The Constitution and has a natural tendency to usurp it at every opportunity. He has brought cronyism to a new and previously unseen level and has emptied the coffers of our nation to finance his supporters. His natural inclination is to instantaneously favor foreign nationals over the citizens of his own country, while serving in the highest office of this country. This is all of the makings for a tyrant and that is why I do not hold this man to any regard.
I ask you, is my pointing out his nature considered to indicate that I hate Obama? If that is hate then I guess I must have also hated that copperhead that I removed from my garage last summer (but it seems if I hated it that it is odd I didn't injure or kill it).

I'd vote for Newt.But I agree,anybody but Obama.

At this point just like our last election. does not make a difference. everyone wants the magic leader that will cure all of our problems.. "Does not exist" .. whoever is put into office will inherit the same problems that obama did as well as the new ones that he has added.. and then we will all have the chance to hate him and think he is doing a shitty job.. Can we vote all of the government out and vote in ALL new.. dont see getting any bills or agendas passed as long as they continue to run up against all of the reps that are in office right now. they can not agree on anything. wich does not allow our country to heal.. also need to doaway with all special intrests,earmarks and no lobbyists.. have to at least try to keep our officials honest we make it to easy for them to become influenced by an outside party.. so to recap lets vote in all new president , house .. no earmarks ,lobbyists or special intrest groups.. I love the U.S . . somewhere along the line our government has lost sight of THE PEOPLE and seem to be concerned about themselves as tho they are not part of the same group..

I'm an anybody but Obama person. Aside from that, I have a ways to go b4 I will decide. I'd even take Clinton and all his scandals over what's going on right now.
-
I'd definitely vote for Ron Paul. He is the only one that still believes in the Constitution.
-
None of the ones running for the Republicans are of my liking, probably Santorum, but not that much. I have always believe that Obama has not being able to do more for inexperience and some wrong believes, but also because Washington likes to manipulate and they have not let him do more. But I will vote for him, better a devil Known that an Angel to know. And honestly none of the Republicans running has proven me that they are better that what we have right now.
