poll soon

Jeb?

shit, how do i edit poll options?

i left extras when i was under the impression that i could edit them later

Obama. I love that dude.

Bill Clinton.

I'll post before I see the poll, since most of my choices won't be on it.
Jim Hightower
Howard Dean
Molly Ivins
Kinky Freidman
Ann Richards
Pat Schroeder

Bill Clinton.


i kinda limited it to people who were allowed to run. (while i highly doubt it, the governator is in question. re-re-elections are a no-no)

i gues if you made him vice prez, and a really, really old dude prez, he could be...

is that legal?


[edit] yea, i have no idea who they are, and no idea how to edit the last few poll options, even if i did know

[edit] and i wanna know what nutjob voted for one of the "<this space blank>" options.

really. :rolleyes: :P

Would definitely pick any of the names listed above, at least right now.

If I HAD to pick one it would be Howard Dean. He did some good things here in Vermont, and there could be worse picked (i.e Hillary, I mean how could she NOT have known about the affairs of hubby and how would this "look-the-other-way-itis" translate into foreign affairs: "OH sure,. Kim Il Jong, you have nukes, we know you have them, let's just not worry about that fact"

Frist or Santorum are two of my picks, but that's just off the top of my head.

(Edit) This is your friendly neighborhood nutjob checking in! None of the options listed on the poll were viable choices for me, so I treated it as "none of the above". But as a "right winger" being called a nutjob isn't bad, trust me, I've been called worse, MUCH worse! :P

Oh I'd vote for Bruce Willis, because he can take care of Osama like he did with Hans Gruber </sarcasm>

Jeb?
What are his policies?

Out of the ones on the list, I'd like to see Howard Dean for two terms, then Hillary after him.

Not that I knew a lot about the last US election race (me being in the UK), but I was really impressed with Edwards. With all the charisma that Kerry lacked and what seemed like an extensive knowledge for what he was actually talking about (ie. unlike Bush) he seemed to me to be a much better candidate than Kerry ever was.

He was, however, a lawyer, so maybe he's just an arrogant power hungry two-faced bastard that'll screw us all over first chance he gets :)

What are his policies?

dunno just suggesting someone the right might like too see. It was meant as a question to see what the right thought about him. Being English i don't know much about him except that he's aparently better than george which then made me ask the question - Why isn't he pres now?

Me! But i know that will never happen.

I'd like to see Colin Powell in office. He was the only good thing about the current administration, and now that he has separated himself from the party, I think he has a good chance.

Obama. I love that dude.

Yes. Because anybody with two months in Congress is qualified. :rolleyes:

I would like to see Colin Powell as president.

I'm aware of the probability so spare me, but I would truly like to see Ralph Nader as president. I think he would be the best thing that has happend to this country in a half century.

I would have loved to see Rowland in office. That would be sweet. You know he would have won too.

I'm aware of the probability so spare me, but I would truly like to see Ralph Nader as president. I think he would be the best thing that has happend to this country in a half century.

when i run for president, i garuntee that i will be running against ralphie's head in a jar.

man, that guy just don't know when he's been beat.


in all seriousnes tho, i would like to see either McCain or Dean. let Obama be Vice prez, then he'll have enough to run on his own.


actually, i wouldn't entirely object to any of them (except Ahhhnold)

if cross-party pairings were allowed, i would prefer to see a combination of any two up there

OBAMA - CLINTON 08!!!!!

and that is BILL CLINTON!!!!

woohoo...none of this Hillary crap...Bill cant be Pres. again...but he can be VP

Barrack Obama is awesome, but he has already said he will NOT run in 08 under any circumstances...oh well...2012 anyone???

McCain would be good in my book, i like moderates...and...


NOT AHNALD!!!!!!

JUST NO!

NO!

oh yeah...and no nader...im tired of him and so is 99.7% of the American Voting Public...just drop it Ralphie...go home...even the green party kicked you out...get a life...

If it were possible... Yoko Ono.

Other then that, anyone but a republican or a democrat.

wasn't he that ice skater?

he won gold or gomething in salt lake city, right?

lol. Sorry, but no.
She is the widow of John Lennon.

She is the widow of John Lennon.


but...

there was that guy with a name exactly like that who skated for america in the 2002 olympics in salt lake

he did that race skating event where there are no lanes, and knocking people is legal, within certain rules (the 500m?)

Besides me, maybe Oprah. Or Amy Lee from Evanescence. I would vote for her to be Supreme Commander of the Universe if there were any such political position. :D

poll soon

Gary Coleman

the skater you think of is Apollo Ohno...not Yoko...she was the crazy b---h that broke up the beatles...

Where's RB and his "Super-power for Prez!" campaign?

DIO FOR PRESIDENT http://www.graspop.be/forum/images/smiles/jam.gif

DIO FOR PRESIDENT http://www.graspop.be/forum/images/smiles/jam.gif

Pffff!

Chris Rock. Or at least his character from "Head of State." There's a guy I would vote for.

As for Obama not having Congressional experience, he will when 2008 comes around. Four years of it. It's less than most people who run for President, but it's something.

Pffff!
Not a big Dio fan? Hell, not like I would care, I'm about as American as that guy. *points to eskimo*

I can;t remember what is name is...it will come to me soon....but he is a republican governor...and he is quite moderate....he has basically the EXACT political ideologies that i do...so....i would like him...if i could only remember his name...:p

I lOVE Oblama. I also admire Rice. Though she has acted a bush's yes man, I see that her intelligence, diplomacy, strong oppionions, confidance, capability, dedication, and political accumen would serve us well. Also good candidates: Colin Powel and Hilary Clinton.

Either one so far mentioned would be fine in my opinion.

Of course I'd love to see a Muslim elected as President just because everyone up to and including Israelies and Islamic Extremists would just stare and say... "SHIT!!"

:D

That was easy:
http://www.ncliberty.net/LibertarianMBadnarik.jpg

Gen. Wesley Clark

I voted for one of the extra options, simply because I believe that all politicians are crap, they all lie, they all cheat, they're all power hungry. I'm not going to sit here and decide who the lesser of the evils is, so just leave it blank.

OBAMA - CLINTON 08!!!!!

and that is BILL CLINTON!!!!

woohoo...none of this Hillary crap...Bill cant be Pres. again...but he can be VP

Barrack Obama is awesome, but he has already said he will NOT run in 08 under any circumstances...oh well...2012 anyone???

NO!

Please explain what you find so appealing in Obama.

shit, how do i edit poll options?

i left extras when i was under the impression that i could edit them later
I'll edit them for you if you want to tell me which ones you want where... sort of weird now that people have voted for the blank options though, heh.

Rudy Guliani
Condi Rice
John McCain
Jeb Bush
Bill Frist
George Pataki

Please explain what you find so appealing in Obama.
He's such a people-person.

He's such a people-person.

Please tell me you're kidding me.

*That's* a reason to be Prez? (shakes head...)

This Guy! (http://images.amazon.com/images/P/B00001X599.01.LZZZZZZZ.gif)


So far, the most intelligent choice by far. And restart his reality show while in office.

Please tell me you're kidding me.

*That's* a reason to be Prez? (shakes head...)
Hehe. If you want to know the truth... because he was on Oprah and because he's black.

Rudolph Guiliani

Hehe. If you want to know the truth... because he was on Oprah and because he's black.

OK, at least that's an honest answer. :)

Howard Dean
Ralph Nader
John McCain
Arlen Specter
Ann Richards

Barak Obama might be good when he gets a little older; he just needs a couple more years of administrative experience.

I think Colin Powell would make a good president.

Condoleeza Rice....................................

Condoleeza Rice....................................


Wouldn't be my first choice, but a voice for the right is, no pun intended, a right step.

Rudy Guliani
Condi Rice
John McCain
Jeb Bush
Bill Frist
George Pataki

I second...
Condi Rice
Rudi Gulliani(sp)
Jeb Bush
John McCain

I second Yoko Ono and Oprah, but I'd like to see an African-American lesbian in charge of the states. But, what do I know? I'm an Australian :D

None of the above?

Add Jeb Bush to the poll. He'll likely be president in '08

And anyone who voted for Obama... Sick... Just sick

George Carlin/Denis Leary in '08.

Hehe. If you want to know the truth... because he was on Oprah and because he's black.

I think this is why the electorial college was made.

I'd like to see Arnold allowed to run. From what I've seen it would seem that I agree with him on most issues. Couple that with the fact that he's the kind of guy that isn't intimidated by trying to get things done and that he wouldn't necessarily be beholden to any special interests and you have a very strong candidate. If he were to take on the terrorism issue I think he'd be much, much better then George W. Bush at keeping his eye on the ball.

Basically he'd break any current Republican candidate and any Democratic candidate from the past, present, or future in half.

Edit: I just noticed how many people voted for Hillary Clinton. Obviously this forum is not an accurate cross section of the country. Wow, she's scary.

I've heard several Republicans talk about how they'd like to see Arnold run. The problem is, what sort of precedent are you setting if you amend the Constitution as an allowance for one person to run for President? If that happens, any naturalized citizen will have the right to run for President. The question that must be brought to bear is are we willing as a nation to make that change just so one person can run for President?

George Carlin/Denis Leary in '08.
Not sure about Carlin, but Leary (http://www.theadvocates.org/celebrities/denis-leary.html) would get my vote above the usual assholes in the running.

Rudolph Guiliani

Ya, I can just see it now. "We're arresting all the street merchants and squeegie guys in the middle east, because as we learned under my tenure as mayor of New York, the kind of guy whose willing to break laws against squeegie wiping, and lessen the quality of life by filling up the street with their vending stands, well that's the kind of guy whose willing to steal an airplane and commit suicide to kill 3,000 people on the other side of the world."

While my personal political views are heavily towards the right, I'd prefer to see a centrist like Powel or Lieberman in the white house; I don't like the hostility between right and left that seems to be growing in America.

I don't think Lieberman is electable, due to his looks, unfortunately, leaving Powel.

Failing Powel, I'd like to see Rice as president someday, but its highly unlikely that she'll run in '08 (she's said she doesn't intend to).

Schwartzineger (spelling?) would probably be a decent president, but the constitution prevents it.

McCain, Frist, Rice, Powell, Guliani, Schwarzennagger are all of my choices.

Rice stated that she wouldn't run, although I think she's be an awesome president. Same with Powell. I have a feeling he'd be one of the best presidents ever. Guliani has nowhere near enough experience to run, even though he'd be pretty decent. Arnie can't run (shame, too, he'd win in a landslide), which leaves McCain and Frist.

McCain all the way.

none of the above

if I was forced to choose one though, it would probably be Powell

Obama in 2012! No candidate with the "Chicago Machine" working for him could possibly lose. :)

I wouldn't mind seeing McCain and maybe even Powell if his opponent sucked.

Definetly not Rice, the lying bitch. Frist just palin sucks. He can't handle his current job, let alone president. I fucking hate Guliani, all he's done since he stopped being mayor is tow the party line so he can gain support. He's the one who blamed the troops for not finding WMD (As Jon Stuart put it, 'he supports the war, but not the troops.') As for Schwarzennagger, just remember what happened last time a country let an Austrian-born immigrant into power... we all know how that turned out.

I'm republican...and I say either Arnie or Santorum

Are you guys aware that Ahnuld is a social liberal? He'd let the "evil gays and abortionists" out!

I think the Cookie Monster deserves a crack of the whip. Wouldn't be the first time the president of the USA was really just a muppet with someone's hand up his arse.

As for Schwarzennagger, just remember what happened last time a country let an Austrian-born immigrant into power... we all know how that turned out.

Congratulations. Your a racist. We all respect you now.

I think this is why the electorial college was made.

I'm not being serious. I'm not a US citizen. I take the Canadian election more seriously. Damn Martin. I wanted Stephen Harper to win. But I'll be able to take part in the next election so booyah! Besides, the topic is who would I like to see as prez. It's just my personal preference, when it comes down to political aspect, I don't know about US politicians too well so I can't make a decision.

Walt Brown.

He seemed the most sensible candidate in the 2004 elections and I believe he would be a good president if he is stands again and is successful in 2008. Other good US politicians are Dennis Kucinich, Ralph Nader, Al Sharpton and Bernard Sanders (congressman for Vermont).

i nominate kurt cobain(if the laws can be change for ahnald then kurt can be reanimated)

bernie sanders is a little old don't ya think but i would pick him over those others

Dude, Al Sharpton is an uber-racist.
I haven't heard of him being a racist and I just know he has been involved in the civil rights campaign and fighting for the equality of African Americans is certainly not racist.

bernie sanders is a little old don't ya think but i would pick him over those others
At 63 he isn't particularly old for many politicians (Bush is 58). I do think he would be one of the best people for president and he has done a good job representing the people of Vermont since 1991 and still gets 69% of the vote. It would be good if other states could also be as sensible in choosing their politicians although most are unfortunately not as Liberal as Vermont.

I haven't heard of him being a racist and I just know he has been involved in the civil rights campaign and fighting for the equality of African Americans is certainly not racist.

Read Scam by Reverand Jesse Lee Peterson.

Noam Chomsky and Jello Biafra.

Bill clinton. If Arnold can have the constitution changed for him, clinton can have the 22nd amendment repealed.

Barring presidents that cannot currently run, John stewart. Remember, Reagan was a comedian at first too ^_^

that would ROCK!!!


hell, even if bill can't run for prez, i'm sure we could do a stewart/clinton ticket

I'm republican...and I say either Arnie or Santorum

The Austrian born moderate or that frothy mixture of fecal matter and lube that is sometimes the result of anal sex.

Heil Aunald!

George Carlin/Denis Leary in '08.

That's going to take votes away from the Dennis Miller/Jon Stewart ticket!!

i nominate kurt cobain(if the laws can be change for ahnald then kurt can be reanimated)

I disagree. The last thing we need is a cowardly boy for President.

"Oh woe is me! Everybody loves me, I'm married, have a child and oodles of cash! Oh, the horror, women throw themselves at me all the time! I'd better suck on this shotgun and pull a Hemmingway."

He was an okay musician, the same way that Hemmingway was an okay writer. But neither is worthy of any respect as a (ahem) "leader" or role model.

Schwartzineger (spelling?) would probably be a decent president, but the constitution prevents it.

I live in Connecticut, and have voted for Lieberman in every election he's been up for since 1988.

However, he cannot be President. The US and the world would simply not accept a Jewish Prez, especially these days. Sad, but true. :(

Arnie should not be Prez, nor should the Constitution be changed to allow him to.

Jon Stewart '08!!! http://graphics.gaiaonline.com/forum/images/smiles/icon_heart.gif
