The ..2012.... Political thread
-
Its going to be a L-------o------------n------------g ...... year of POLITICS - coverage, commercials, more debates, primaries etc.... up to the actual election. This thread has the possibility and potential to change -- to be short or long as you see fit. Please try to treat everyone with care - show respect -etc... As of now-- are you interested in any of the candidates? Has it started too early and you are burned out or need something fresh? Are you going to be watching, listening and reading (in the Political sense) roughly one year to go for the election -- primaries are much sooner -- a few months.... say what you want to say
-
As an early writing thing here -- Right now I do not have a front runner candidate -- I know who I want to eliminate - so by default whoever is not eliminated will have to be my choice - I have felt like this in past elections -- like voting for the lesser of two evils
-
I completely agree ..the lesser of two evils.....at this point anyone would be a welcome change...well, maybe not anyone....
-
All I've got to say is that, as always, it again seems you only can vote for two candidates. Like in the Simpson "Kudos and Kang" episode, that was shown again this Halloween here.
. If out of 300 milion people, only 2 are seriously considered for being president.... that can mean two things... A. Those two people are hugely.... incredibly.... uniquely... talented for it. (Does anyone still believes that?) B. People are media manipulated to a huge, incredible, and unique degree.... (That of course, not only happens in the US but somehow everywhere but... especially in the USA.) and now I will go back to... my hill too... Don't look at me, I didn't vote Kudos, neither Kang!. -
roughly one year (approx.... 363 days or something like that)

I hate to say it but I think it's "B"
I'd like to hear what people think of Obama and Edwards? I have no opinion on them or know that much about either one. Personally if I had to vote today I'd choose "Colbert" -
Of all the Dems running for President I like him the best. Chris Dodd 'o8

this was a separate thread...and still should be.

I understand your thinking but, as the thread starter indicated, it is going to be a long campaign and we would rather start out as we intend and encourage all members to contribute to a limited number of threads on the candidates rather than start individually named threads for each person and issue. Whilst we do have a significant number of members for whom this election will have direct and lasting consequences, there are many members for whom it does not, and the forum index should allow room for them to continue enjoying the Talk More Talk forum with other subjects. Thanks Martin

yer welcome and yer wrong.

I've been looking at Dodd too
Whoever we nominate not only effects those that live in the U.S. but most of the world! Maybe the world should have to vote on this - wouldn't that be interesting. -
true. you would have enjoyed my earlier Dodd post that got deleted.

Once again we have not deleted anything, read my post above - your original thread is intact within this thread. Perhaps you do not appreciate that since your last visit here the message board has been upgraded allowing us to move the content of one thread into another - your thread has been merged into the thread and none of your content has been deleted.

As long as Hillary doesn't make it I will be happy. I personally don't think any of the runners are any good.

Warning warning warning danger danger Will Robinson -- The commercials of Vote for me are starting already and are only going to ramp up -- be prepared

Why is it, that when politicians race against each other, they always win and we always lose ?
