A few months ago I thought I'd stay home, but I think I may have to vote against the Democrats this time around by voting for Bush.

Leaning towards Gary Nolan of the Libertarian Party. But if Bush grows a pair and lets the assault weapons ban sunset, I might- Nah, fuck that. Gary Nolan it is.

*hides under bed*

I'm under the voting age, but if I had a choice, based on what I've been reading, it'd be Dean, or if he doesn't win primaries, some third party.

I won't be voting for Bush, that much is certain. The other candidates will have to earn my vote, as I will not simply give it out to whomever the Democraps nominate.

Dean
"Right now we can tell you a report was filed by the family of a 12 year old boy yesterday afternoon alleging Mr. Michael Jackson of criminal activity. A search warrant has been filed and that search is currently taking place. Mr. Jackson has not been charged with any crime. We cannot specifically address the content of the police report as it is confidential information at the present time, however, we can confirm that Mr. Jackson forced the boy to listen to the Howard Stern show and watch the movie Private Parts over and over again."

I won't be able to vote, but if I could, I'd probably be leaning toward Bush, although I'm not very happy with the performance of either party for different reasons. It's kind of like choosing the person who's be molesting you for the night.

I'll be to, to quote Kodos and Kang, throwing my vote away!
Devolution is quite as natural as evolution, and may be just as pleasing, or even a good deal more pleasing, to God. If the average man is made in God's image, then a man such as Beethoven or Aristotle is plainly superior to God, and so God may be jealous of him, and eager to see his superiority perish with his bodily frame.

Depends on who the Libertarians nominate next May in Atlanta. If I don't like him or her, I'll reluctantly vote for Bush.

Clark is pulling a great deal of the moderate vote and has a decent shot against Dean. Maybe its wishfull thinking, but I don't think Dean has the balls to go up against the GOP with the kind of campaigns they wage.

I can't vote, but I want anyone but Bush, and if it has to be a Democrat, so be it.

Probably Bush, as long as he doesn't go all political here in the last few months and sign the AWB back in to appease some more liberal republicans.

I turn 18 a month after the elections are over. :D

If I could vote, I'd go for Dean, though I usually lean Republican but Bush just blows goats.

Nothing but the Democrat or Republican nominee is viable.

i must say, the fact that Bush is doing as well as he is on this very liberal leaning board suprises me.

If I were an American and I was old enough I would vote for Dean since he is much better Bush and he is a democrat.

Clark has exactly 0.00000000000000000000000000000000000018763% Chance of taking the nomination (As much as I'd like him to). Unless Dean dies or calls Al Sharpton a (N-word here) On Larry King Live, Dean is going to take the nomination easily.


On topic. I'll do just about anything to get Shrub out of office. So, Dean It is. (Check out my GWB link in sig.)

How is he better? He takes the worst part of the Mcgovern campaign (Peace at any cost) and the worst part of the Mondale campaign (rasing taxes when the economy is beginning to grow) as his campaign platform. People say they are going to vote for Dean out of pure hatred for Bush without even looking at his platform.
