2008 U.S. Presidential Election
Original post
Posted by Konrad, 13.08.2007 - 14:14
With much pontificating on whether to even start this one, (due to the anticipation of a major headache), I present to you the official thread of the 2008 U.S. Presidential election. I am just too damn interested in seeing what everyone (U.S. and non-U.S. citizens alike) thinks. I would like for all of us to approach this in an atypical matter. DO NOT discuss petty issues that are discussed every day by various media outlets. (Abortion, Same-Sex Marriage, Etc.) Such issues have been presented to us with intent to take our minds off of things that are actually important.
Feel free to grace us with your opinions of the Political Candidates, Political Debates, Important Issues such as solutions for Iraq, The role that the U.S. will play in the world, Etc. Try also not to look only 4 years into the future...that is what has gotten the U.S. into so much trouble in the past...
Go 'lite' on posting or quoting tons of links to other sights. Everything should come from yourself...and please keep the personal insults to a minimum...we all (hopefully) have the same goal to make the world a better place. Unfortunately that peace is currently being halted by greedy politicians. Remember to keep the big question in mind: What political figure would be the best for the entire Global community and why? Go at it fools!

Written by Bad English on 26.02.2008 at 11:57 I dunno man....in the last 20 years, all we've had is a Bush or a Clinton. I can't take another four years with Bill Clinton in office. He was a complete loser, almost as bad as Bush.

Quote:Written by Bad English on 26.02.2008 at 12:05 I heard many compliment about Clintons' achivement of governing for his president during time. His achievements are mostly the economic wealth of America...totally agree Bush is more jerk, downfall economic, sinking in Iraq war. But notable that only Bush era is targeting to Alqueda, and before during Clinton, Alqueda wasnt concerned. Anyway, no offence, K7 can you give me example of non communistic country which president elected as parliament voting?

@K7: Lativa, Lithuania, Estonia, no suprised because they re all still have communistic traits influnence from USSR. But as for Italy, Im not knowledgable. @pyroleprechaun: what about Hillary? I guess all democracy party candidates want to withdraw?

Written by [user id=23900] on 01.09.2007 at 20:54 That right there is so true. Now while I am an Christian anarchist and do not vote, this is one thing I have really observed over the past decade. The biggest difference between the two major parties is that the Republicans are united and the Democrats are always fighting amongst themselves. It seem that while the Republicans, by large, are a party of bad ideas, the Democrats are a party of no ideas. What ever the Republicans say, the Democrats must "no" it.

A little question to those living in USA: Is only the Democrats and the the Republicans that are getting media attention, while the other parties are simply ignored? From here, it undoubtly seems that way...

Yeah, I wonder that as well as Torelli. There are more parties in USA, even communistic Trotskyst or American Nazi party, Black Panther etc. Maybe better dont care about them, but still wonder about forensic of position of those parties.

@K7: I dont know, maybe ur right, they are forbidden, but still I found them alive and still active nowaday. Actually maybe nazi parties/organizations appear in US after WWII... I agree that Democrat party always oppose or do contrary things of Republic. Its weird that a democracy of most belived charisma is only played by two parties...

Written by Torelli on 26.02.2008 at 15:01 your observation is spot on. i wouldn't say the lesser parties are ignored, but they lack the support to gain the popularity that's needed for them to accomplish anything.

Written by Torelli on 26.02.2008 at 15:01 Yeah, the Green party is absolutely overlooked. Nader has so much more experience than all the other candidates COMBINED, but he's getting really old lmao. Obama, Clinton, and McCain are all bad choices, but I may end up voting for Obama because Nader has no chance. Fuck, thinking about the election makes me hate Americans. or maybe it's probably because I'm drunk to the max atm.

I want McCain to win, 'cause he supports the trade... thingie... can't remember the words in english. Basically that th exports Colombia does to the US get no taxes. Clinton and Obama don't support it, so I don't want any them to win.

It's going to be a first no matter who wins,either a very young african american or a VERY old man,of course now that a woman for that position is not possible.. man! I was following these elections from the beginning,the first time I ever saw Obama it was on Oprah and I liked him then but thought he would not be a mojor coandidate,wjho thought that Clinton would lose to Obama, she herself did not seem to believe it delegates were extremely in Obama's favour and the democratic party was pretty much all behind Obama,and kept going and going tearing that party apart(wish i am wrong). I wish the current situation don't change,they say that polls show that Obama gets 46% of the votes while McCain gets 43%, I am a supporter of Obama because he seems to me the most opened up candidate and the most cultured. Anyways,a great hail to Obama,a very young and full of energy man,talented speaker..
