Agreed... I'm surprised USA elections aren't held in the form of a idols-like game show yet where people send their official vote by text message .
Exactly. We should make the candidates do stuff like how to act during an emergency and how to resist a hot secretary. Would be a wicked show.
You're still breathing? Why?
Get off the cross, the wood is needed.

America affects everywhere in the world, and one President may favor a country compared to another. Remember a President's main power is in foreign affairs, home affairs are usually dealt by Congress. Remember when Bill Clinton attempted a new health reform? Congress cut his budget to stop him.

Well, i think we can say the same about that forwarded email, you assumed some anonymous email is true, which doesn't offer any kind of proof, and posted it here? that doesn't add anything USEFUL to the thread, it's FALSE...

It's all corrupted anyway, companies should not be allowed to buy into or directly influence the law, by whatever means. I'm thinking the big ones here, Fast Food, Health Care etc)

Nothing is useless. I see it as showing an opinion of a small population of Americas and the prejudice attitudes towards Muslims .

My views are pretty obvious (Hint: look to the left). Hillary Clinton is by far my candidate of choice, after performing extensive research on the Candidates, she seems to have the most views that I agree with, she doesnt contradict herself, and she's got some great ideas to bring about change and move our country forward. Barack Obama is in my opinion a fake and is not worthy for my vote, I tend to agree more with Democrats, but if he got selected i'd likely vote Republican just because I disagree with his views so much. Come February 5th, 2008, My votes with Hillary.
American's keep making the same mistakes... first they re-elect a Bush... now a woman is running... can your economy really withstand that lol
Hillary and George have 2 things in common... they both got bush and will both fail.

After looking over the poll results from the 2008 presidential elections, I'm curious to know why those of you who've voted, voted for that canidate.
I originally voted for Huckabee, but after a 7 hour debate today in Nashville with the other FBLA state officers (Future Business Leaders of America), I've changed my vote to Clinton. Looking through the facts about Obama's campaign, he's contridicted himself many times by opposing the war in Iraq, but yet voting to fun billions of dollars. His views on same-sex-marriage are of his faith, and not of actuall legislation.
I don't think that voting against going to war and subsequently voting to fund a war in progress contradicting. Not doing so would be like not accepting the facts of reality: the US has started a war and should be obligated to finish is properly.
My country, Denmark, started the war along with the United States and the UK, yet it has withdrawn from it very recently. I don't know who we think we are - forcing someone else to clean up a mess we helped create.
omg, Obama's against gay marriage? That's so silly - he just lost my respect.
I'm voting for the Democrats (preferably Hillary) although I know, as a Texan voter, it will be a complete waste of my time because of the stupid Electoral College system.
No, I didn't search before
posting. Don't bother asking.

RE: Presidential Election 2008
This year, is most highly going to be .. a history breaking year.
First and second place in runnings and standings right now is obama, an african american...(could be wrong?)
and hillary clinton, a white.. haha.. female.
If there are more female activists.. and females in general voting this year, hillary is probably going to take it...
then again... everyone does really want a man in office, not being sexist, because im against that, but its a mans job. there are some jobs in the world that just arent meant for a woman. Yes, we can do just about any job a man can do, but c'mon...
idk. i think this election is going to be a really weird one. im not votin this year. blah blah blah.

Actually I think Hillary would be the best democractic nominee for president, especially when it comes to the economy. I personally think she would do wonders to bring our economy back up and get us out of this recession.
And just curious, why couldn't a women run America? I don't believe it's simply a "mans" job. Looking at present and past situations with our presidents, I think it's safe to say it'll be better to have a women as our president because A) War is not the first solution B) They have a reputable open mind.

I however, do find it contradicting because Obama made a public statement stating he will not vote to go to war, and publicly stated he will not fund the war. Then going on and voting to fund it, then not to fund it, and then to fund it? Come on now, what would he do in a real situation if he were president? To declair war with North Korea, and then to cancel it two days later? America would be doomed, more so than it already is at current state.
