I know know who will win the Democratic nomination, but whomever it turns out to be will surely be our next president. Personally, I couldn't agree more - As a Republican who first voted for Ike in 1956, I will not vote for McCain. Won't vote Libertarian because of their stance on Iraq. Will probably skip voting for a prez for the first time in my life. Bob-tx I really hate to say this, but a Democrat (even Hillary!) might be better than McCain for the 2nd amendment. The NRA will fight a democratic president tooth and nail, but would compromise our rights away with a republican ;( Even if Hillary 'Lady Macbeth' Clinton WAS qualified, I wouldn't vote for her. 2 families have held the White House for 20 years- time for somebody else. It isn't supposed to be an inherited office, by blood or marriage. (BTW- I have NO trouble with a woman for POTUS- just not THAT woman.) aem sends... I am not American so we live with whomever you elect as President. But please do consider the message you are sending to Americans and to the rest of the world by not voting. If the American President takes office on a minority popular vote, of say 30 percent turnout of eligible voters, then he or she does not have a mandate to do anything. No mandate to change the direction America is on. No credibility on the world stage that he or she has the support of the people. To vote is a very important civic duty. "none of the above" has never appeared on any ballot I've seen. Unfortunately, I would be more likely to go to the polls in order to vote *AGAINST* some candidate that scares/frightens/****es me off than to actually vote *for* someone. I haven't seen a serious candidate for POTUS yet since I was old enough to vote that I actually wanted to vote for. (George W. Bush vs. John Kerry? Feh! Can I vote for the flaming bag of dog crap instead?) I have seen Bush ruin some good men's political careers, however - although Colin Powell had already said he wasn't interested in the office. Unfortunately, the Republican party still seems to be controlled by the religious right and neocons, so good luck finding a reasonable candidate. The current crop should be ample evidence of the kind of idiot that most Republicans seem to think fit for office. nate -- replace "roosters" with "cox" to reply. http://members.cox.net/njnagel |
