Being a pretty stout conservative I'm not sure how I feel about this election. I don't see Mc Cain as conservative. I by no means want to see Obama in the white house. Do you vote Mc Cain just to keep Obama out? What are your feelings about this election?
 
Well, Im a democrat, but this election I'm voting for McCain. What does that say? :) I say even if you dont want either of them to win, one way or another one of them will win, so you might as well vote for the one that you want to loose less than the other. ;)
 
There haven't been good choices in awhile, you got to decide who is the lesser of two evils.

Yes

Unless you run for office, you'll never find someone who agrees with your 100%. Vote your 51% then.

I feel the same way. I voted for Huckabee in the Primaries only becasue mit romney had already dropped out. I definetely dont wont Obama becasue of his liberal socialist communist views.
 
Yup, when it's down to these 2 poor choices, you've gotta vote for the one that best supports your values and beliefs and the welfare of We the People.
 
Being a small business owner, I am very fiscally conservative. I am socially liberal though. I do not care who or what you choose to have sex with or marry, do drugs or don't, protest the government or not, whatever...your personal freedoms should be absolute, UNTILL they infringe on the personal freedoms of others.

I want a government that will keep its damn hands out of my wallet. I personally believe that we have too much government by perhaps a factor of 10. Too much spending, too many programs for the stupid. The only job for which the a central government is well suited is national defense, and maybe building infrastrucure ( major roads, dams, bridges, and such ).

I am convinced that I feel the same as the majority of Americans do, we are represented by neither party. 6% approvall rating for congress, give me a break!
 
While registered democrat (I came of voting age during Clinton's term and hey I still like what he did mostly, gun ban was bad tho), I now associate myself as Libertarian. And I dont like either option. I say if you vote for a 3rd party, yes it's not going to have someone else win, but it adds to the message, if 5% or 10% didnt vote for eithor choice, but DID VOTE it shows that you care enough to basically select "none of the above" when faced with basically (D) or (R). It does, belive it or not send a message to thoes elected.

In my hometown, the mayor ran basically unoposed for as long as I have been alive. Last election he had someone challenge him, while he won again, she got 40% of the vote. That did show him that 40% of the town didnt like him and he has changed how he handles some things. While it woudl be a far less dramatic number I still think if enough people voted "other" some folks would notice. Hey it's better then not voting at all!
 
You take the good you take the bad you take um both and there you have "The Facts of Life"

Goverment should be about fiscivity(realy word?) Not about social issues. Our forefathers left social issues to the states. That's the way it should be. Conservatives should vote McCain no matter how you feel about killing babies or whether two chicks should make one.
 
The last real independent was Perot and he scared the pants off both parties, he got 20% of the vote, but remember Ross had his own money, a lot if it. The media has already decided on Obama, I'm curious to see if the web pages I saved over the past week from CNN will in any way match the web pages from the Republican convention.
As far as Independents go, I like Barr, he's been a congressman from Georgia and talks alot of common sense, mainly to reduce the federal government by 10% per year, makes sense to me.

Both candidates are too liberal! I don't like the conservative choice, but there were no REAL choices. I'd be happy with George W. Bush doing a 3rd term.

Obviously I'd rather have McCain over Osama. I think McCain is a good man, and tough but I don't like his liberal leanings.

Osama is a joke, but he is about 100% better than Kerry. At least the dems have a chance this time. :tears:

Unfortunately I think the Dems have better than a chance this time, I think they're going to get it, but that's just speculation. Kerry scared the wits out of me when he was running, he was so wishy washy about everything you never knew what he was going to say next, and to top it off, all of his views were horrible. I think Sept. 11 would have been an absolute disaster with him in office. To the original poster, vote McCain please, I know he's not as favorable as one could be, but we need to do anything we can to keep Obama the hell out of the White House.
 
Is he really better than Kerry? I'm not so sure about that, the more I read the more he looks worse. Kerry was wishy washy about everything but Obama has no opinion on anything, its above his pay grade or he doesn't want to comment on it.
The problem that most don't see is that the media will print nothing negative about Obama.
We hear about McCains divorce, he isn't sure about how many homes he owns, how he supports some of Bush's policies.
The moment anyone prints something about Obama, being schooled in an Islamic school, the fact that his mother said she was an atheist, but Obama says he was raised with strong Christian beliefs.
His father was raised Muslim but then became an atheist as well.
Or how early on he was critisized by Rev Jackson for not addressing the problems of inner-city African-Americans, but how can he do that when he has never known or understood that life.
I'm voting for McCain, but I would still like to know more about Obama besides the "change" he is going to bring about in Washington.
 
So if McCain isn't conservative enough, why did the Republicans choose him? Is it because the GOP is more left leading than you all want to admit?

BTW: I like neither candidate.

He is NOT a joke, he is a very scary reality that we must realize may very well be dictating from the oval office and presidential basketall court very soon.

Dont take him lightly. The thing about people who want to take away freedoms and socialize things usually run the same type of campaign, and this one has been run down to the letter of the rules for communists. Get ready to get silenced.
Hes a mouth-piece and a figure head. The guy is not a thinker, hes a motivational speaker whos been tought to hate a free society because it "harmful" to the rest of the world. And he believes it. Just dont fall for him and DONT take him lightly.
The candidates have been chosen, nothing we can do about it. Just really have to vote to keep Obama out of office. Period. And thats unfortunate.
