Same question as before, who would you vote for if the election was held today.

If by "other" you mean "none," then that's probably what I'm going to do.

HOLY SHIT! Bush is ahead at the moment! Not that that'll last, but it's still amusing.

Probably write in "neither." Both candidates have scared me away and I started out hoping that Kerry would be a good guy, even voted for him in the primary. Guess that was a big mistake.

He's as good as any candidate but I don't think he meets the age or citizenship requirements. :P

As Fuzzy is literally being led around on a leash in this picture, frankly I'll have to know more about his handlers before committing to him as a candidate.

You are obviously unfamiliar with the phenomenon of suburban pet owners who are taken for a walk by their pets. He is looking back with an expression that says "I'm going this way; what the hell are you waiting for?"

But he's currently a Canadian. And I don't think Dog Years were mentioned in the Constitution. :P

They both suck, but I dislike Kerry more. I'll probably vote 'none' meaning I won't vote for the Pres, rather just vote for State Issues.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

I see. In Soviet Russia, dog walks you.

I understand that his policy of strong leadership entails peeing on other people's yards, but my question is this: does he preemptively attack other dogs who might pee on your yard?

Furthermore, does he effectively keep the homeland secure from intrusions by evil mailmen?

As for the poll, living in Texas means my vote doesn't count for anything anyway. I picked Badnarik because while I find the libertarians to be hopelessly pie-in-the-sky dreamers, they have the closest thing to a platform that agrees with me. I refuse to sell my vote to candidates I consider to be utterly devoid of ethics.

I personally believe that Dick Cheney is one of the most evil corporate slimebags on the face of this planet and that George Bush is his puppet, so therefore I will help contribute to getting them out of office by voting for someone with the best chance against them.

In other words, Kerry and Edwards.
