Given the choices are you going to vote for President this fall??

I'll vote for somebody.

I might end up writing in a candidate.

Our choices are five so far...

HRC
BO
JM
RN
RP

So far it's JM for me...

.

Which ones are pro-life?

I gotta see about absentee voting or I can't vote


I leave before polls open and get home long after they closed...

Slim pickings this election. In a way I'm glad I can't vote. Clinton and Obama would definitely be out for me. If I had to choose I think I would go for Ron Paul. I think John McCain is a bit too liberal for me.

But son't our individual votes cout for nothing> Isn't it the electoral college that gets the final say and the most important vote? wasn't it Al Gore that lost even though he got the largest numer of american votes? So really it seems to me that the votes that count aren't ours but those of the electoral college.....??


Writing in a candidate sound like a good idea...Just don't know who...

Did anyone see that episode of southpark where the school was having an election but the only candidates to vote for were a douche and a turd sandwhich?



Seems like this years election is gonna be like that! :wall:

:blink:
We don't watch south park :whistle:

Us either....

I've never seen South Park. I don't even know what channel it is on.

True, the electorial college is all that matters, but the winner in each state (highest total votes) get all of the votes for that state in the electorial college (with a couple of exceptions).

However, if there was a massive nationwide campaign to write somebody in and they won several states they would receive votes in the electorial college.

So the question is who do we write in?

The electoral college is supposed to go with the majority... key word SUPPOSED to ... least that's my understanding it's happened several times that they said screw john q public and cast their own votes the way they wanted.....

Fred Thompson :D

Clinton says that "abortion should remain legal, but it needs to be safe and rare."

McCain supports overturning Roe v. Wade and banning abortion except in cases of rape, incest or threat to the life of the mother.

Obama supports abortion rights. In the Illinois State Senate, he voted against a bill to ban late-term abortions because, he said, it did not contain a clause to protect the life of the mother.

Paul said he views the fetus as a "human being [with] legal rights … from the day of conception."

ANd Ralph Nader:

Supports NOW's agenda on Reproductive Rights.

A vote is consent or an endorsement. I cannot endorse or feel peronally responsible in any way, however indirect, for one of the candidates being elected.

Christ didn't come to establish an earthly kingdom, so maybe we shouldn't worry so much about it either. If we work to build up the Kingdom of God, the rest of these things will work themselves out.

wow... jes ... wow.. I hope I am misunderstandin you here.

It is because we as christians are not involved poltically that more an more of our rights are bein taken away from us, why liberal movements are allowed to run rampat an abortion an gay marriages etc etc etc, the body of Christ should be involved as much as is possible.

No, it's just that we must win the hearts of our fellow Americans to Christ, then public holiness will happen as a natural result. If we first try to win them through restrictive legislation, which upholds our values, they'll misunderstand our actions as us trying to control everyone, rather than upholding a standard of righteousness. Consider how people lash out at some conservative Christian watchdog groups. I agree with the stands most of these boycott everyone groups take, but because the Holy Spirit has not preceeded their actions and brought men and women to repentance, they are not ready for it.

First comes preaching the true gospel, not some consumer-focused man reasoned nonsense, and then perhaps more people will begin to hunger and thirst after righteousness.

I have no inclination to even vote. With the choices we are down to, I'd just as soon stay ohome that day and enjoy a cold Pepsi. :pepsi: Now I know someone is bound to say "then don't complain when the next president does things you don't like"

Don't worry, I won't. Besides, my vote won't matter a hill o'beans even if I did cast one. Why would I complain? Nothing I can say or do will make any difference to the monolithic national government...

Is Nader running again??

I thought that during the last election something was on cnn that if he lost he couldn't run in the next election....

yep...he is...
