Who do you guys support and why?

I am completely against Senator Hillary Clinton; she opposes video games and associates with Jack Thompson. 'Nuff said.

If anyone, I hope Barack Obama will at least run if not win. I have a feeling he's not really ready for presidency and the US isn't really ready for him yet, but we really do need a new, different president. I've read almost all of his book, "The Audacity of Hope", and some of the stuff is spot-on. He's just inexperienced, so he'll probably run for the 2012 election or something.

What about you guys?

I support the "Nobody For President" party.

Throw the rascals out!

I agree with leDoOd in every respect.

I don't waste my time voting.

You're right, you don't waste your time voting. Because voting isn't a waste of time.

The problem with this approach is that then you'd be wasting your time if you complained.

And if you aren't complaining about the way things are going now, you aren't paying attention.

So vote, before it really becomes a waste of time 'cuz there's only one candidate.

Agreed!

Same here

Vote Senator Palpatine. Just come over to the dark side already.

IRT ^

As far as I'm concerned, it's way too early to be worrying about the presidency. I hardly know where the potential candidates stand. And I won't vote based on party, either. You give me the issues, I'll give you the vote.

Either candidate means out of the frying pan, into the fire. Because with Hillary the Republicans will fling so much mud since they hate her so much the Democrats just might lose. Barack Obama, has no foreign relations expeirence. What a great skill to have with a war going on in the Middle-East, eh?

I disagree. Voting isn't a waste of time, you get to express who you think is the most suited to the offices in our goverment. And even if they don't win, at least you can say you are both informed, and you have an opinion.

I voiced my opinion, I pressed both god-damn, plastic buttons at the same friggin' time in the '04 elections.
...AND I FEEL NO REMORSE FOR DOING IT!!!
MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Sure, it might have been better not to vote, but at the time, I had more important things to worry about...
Anyway...
The problem with this is when you have to choose the lesser of two evils...if you don't like any of the canidates, then where do you stand? You could not vote, but then people scream, bitch, yell, whine, berate, harass, and swear at you.
I'll look at politics until they start throwing mud and slandering each other...then I just turn off the TV and completely avoid it all together.
And yes, I posted this knowing full well I'm going to get a bunch of people with hot fire-pokers knocking on my door.

Just vote for the socialist or libertarian party. It's like throwing your vote away but you can't be called anything besides a pinko.

Re: Usagi, Kalexon, and zatoichi

One vote does not decide an election, as it shouldn't in a democracy. Since elections are discrete events, there is no gray area. Therefore, the outcome is exactly the same as if I had not casted my vote. Therefore, I do not vote.

I'm not sure where this irrational rule of "I vote so I have a right to complain and can claim that I am educated!" came from, but that doesn't make any sense. I am allowed to have an opinion as well. This isn't some kind of dystopian society.
