Assuming you're at least 18 and you live in the States, who has your vote? Can't say I classify myself as a Democrat or a Republican but I'm split on one candidate each. Ron Paul and Dennis Kucinich. Sadly, there's no chance in Hell that Kucinich will win. So that leaves Ron Paul. Thoughts?

I'm sorry, but ron paul wouldn't get my vote even if I was 18 (will be 17). But even if I could vote, none of them really strike me as wanting to help the country too much. They all seem to want personal gain, at least from what I see. I don't know...all of these people just seem...like either they don't know what they want to do, or don't wanna do what's good for this country. But I hope that the mormon Mit Romney doesn't even come close to winning. Hate mormons with a passion.

*sighs* arg this is the one election I'm willing to vote in and it's the most annoying of all them. They argue and argue over the same stuff. They call each other names. They lie. They make promises they don't keep. They spend millions of dollars on trying to call each other names. They have billions of signs everywhere. They screw up the tv and radio. Nothing they do ever helps me and seems to only make my life difficult. Both choices suck. Oh should I mention I can't stand any politics?

All debates have always been lies, and everything. It's all political scams to get them elected in. Politics are just plain out corrupt in my opinion.

While I think many politics are unhonest, there are actually people out that mean well.
And even if you don't like the choices, pick the best, it's better than not having your voice heard. Or run yourself. You just need to be rich first...

Protect the 2nd Amendment... exactly how does he plan to do that? Give out free guns to all the physiologically unstable people?

NWO is nothing but a conspiracy theory that most people are death afraid of. lol combine Mexico with Canada & the US? Yeah, Canada if we get lucky, do you think the drug cartels that own Mexico are going to let that happen? They kidnap canidates who don't help them out, not to mention the fake polling places they use.
Besides that, I think Ron Paul is a great choice, but nobody will vote a for a guy like that. I got a pamphlet of his in the mail and a bunch of calls from him to caucus (thank god that's over, those months felt like a year). He wants to stop the IRS, lol. Sounds good in theory, but try to tell anyone over the age of 50 that you want to cut the IRS.
I think either Obama, Clinton,, or Edwards will win. I would bet money that Clinton would lose. Then again I'm not sure, nobody really answers questions at debates, they just say things that make them sound good and intelligent.

They screw up the tv and radio. Psssh, you can't complain much about that because EVERY country's tv is screwed. I dont want Clinton to win for some strange reason. :/ And IS the US in recession right now? Because I think it is but America denys it >.> |

Give out free guns to all the physiologically unstable people? actually the 2nd amendment gives us the right to bear arms it doesn't mean people are going to give us free firearms. that might be true but then if this was only a theory why is ron paul using this as a advantage?(to get more voters that are obviously afraid of the nwo) theres just way too many things bleh |

It was actually a joke, I was just scoffing at the 2nd amendment. Protecting it basically means giving people all access to guns. You know I could go out and buy a shotgun right now? (I'd have to be 18 or 21 first, but that's beside the point). I could buy a shotgun and some bullets and kill 10 or more people easily, if I find a big crowd.
I agree that everyone has the right to bear arms, as long as they are mentally stable, and morally stable for that matter. Buying guns shouldn't be a no questions thing, it should take at the very least a month and the person buying should have to undergo intensive background checks and psicological tests. I don't like the fact that someone with intent to kill can go out, buy a gun, and do exactly that.

It is better to make other reformations like in education so people will not be as likely to go nuts and shoot a bunch of people. It is better to lift the citizenry up as a whole than to limit freedoms our forefathers wanted guaranteed to us. Maybe that will limit the people buying guns with intent to cause violence in the process. By the way Obama for the win! |

Well, the Republicans have no chance of winning, so although I usually side with the GOP (except in religious matters, fscking fundies), I haven't been paying attention to 'em at all, really. Besides, Richardson is probably my favorite candidate since I was old enough to understand what candidates were. Wish he had a chance of winning. Oh well. Guess the best thing to hope for is that Obama will appoint him Secretary of State--if Clinton or Edwards wins, I'm leaving the country. XD
