Who do you think is the most honest? I'm not asking who you agree with or who you will vote for. I'm asking who do you think is telling the truth?

Depends what you mean. If you mean being honest about what they support, honest about their true positions, then Bush takes the cake. Kerry did poorly to try to walk the middle when Bush felt no need to do so. If you mean honest about war and terrorism and threats to our country, I have no clue how trustworthy Kerry would be. But I'm guessing moreso than Bush.

Bush is a consummate liar.

Kerry is a career politician.

I'd say the green party fellow is probably the most honest. His agenda is completely hopeless so he stands nothing to gain by lying.

I said Nadar. But Kerry is right up there. Now it is 33 33 33 split. Ralph, Cobb, and Kerry.

None of them politicians suck!

Fascist Union? Prohibition Party?

Waaaah?!

I put the Facist union guy because he is so HOPELESSLY behind in the election(i doubt he has more than 0.00007% of the vote...), he has nothing to gain from lying. At ALL!

Plus the Facist Union is a cooler name than all the other parties. :P

I voted Peroutka, cause when you are that fucking right-wing/militant Christian, you don't need to bullshit. You say it like it is. Although, I'm pretty sure the Prohibition Party is pretty honest too. I really can't see why anyone would vote the two mainstream parties. It's the third parties that get to say what's on their mind.

Peroutka? *Waves bullshit meter and it explodes*

Hmmm isn't that the same logic the Germans used with Hitler? ;)

Yeah, I know. I only found out about Grimes a couple of days ago. He's so obscure - there was an article in my newspapaer about obscure candidates. Grimes promises to find evidence of UFO activity on Earth and to install a military dictatorship. How cool is that!? (Well, it wouldn't be if he won.)

What's Badnarik actually like? Us Brits only get to see Lurch and Chimpy.

ha... then you know what it is like to be an american..unless you are willing to sit up to 3am watching c-span ..the average american knows nothing about him either.

Well the answer to the least honest has to be George W. If anybody still believes that crap that we invaded Iraq to look for WMD's, you're obviously not paying attention. Where do you think that missing 380 tons of explosives were? At a dismantled Atomic Weapons facility! Wouldn't that be the first place you'd look for such things if you had any kind of functioning frontal lobe? Then you'd notice that shit-pile of explosives and do something about them. That's if you were actually looking for WMD's and not just there for the oil.......

UFO Activity? Military Dictatorship?!?!?

ME LIKEY!

Politician=liar

Thats all that needs to be said here.

Well, you can read about him here: http://badnarik.org/

Basically he's:
Small government
Pro free trade
Anti-US troops in foreign countries
Pull out of Iraq
For the privatisation of the police force
Privatising healthcare and removing regulations
Pro immigration
Anti-affirmitive action
For some system of marriage where contracts are drawn up for every marriage (implicitly pro gay marriage)
Anti war on drugs (more or less) and,
Pro gun.

For the privatisation of the police force
Now ya see, you had me until that one. That one's just too scary. Running a police force for profit sends chills up my spine.

Hrm, I thought it was weird too. The idea doesn't entirely lack merit. What he actually suggests (I think) is that yes we (well, him) privatise the cops (can anyone say protection racket?) but the public still pays them, and the criminals pay for their costs and restitution to the victims. Unfortunately, I think I can see several things that may go wrong. He seems to think that it will somehow lead to the police going after more severe crimes before victimless ones. I think it'll lead to the cops going after richer people first (the ones who weren't smart enough to bribe the cops).

Fr5ank Grimes of the Fascist Union.... Wasnt Frank Grimes the infamous 'Grimey' of simpsons fame.

Oh stop it, Bush is doing the same thing. Only he speaks in riddles that are provided to him.
