Whoever the republican nominee is will win. democrats and independents are too divided this year and collegiate votes will fuck them all for a republican swing at the last minute. Rudy Guiliani is most likely the republican nominee Or ron paul or some other moron comes out of nowhere for an upset. Unless theres some secret agenda to turn it over to John Edwards or mccain I doubt we`ll be seeing a non-republican in office. Good thing Rudy turned republican;) too bad hes a dick. Some other moron is the terminator IMO

That guy scares the shit out of me. If people think bush is a little totalitarian, what until that buffoon gets elected. He seriously has little dick syndrome. And he's another one with big money interests.

i'm sure they don't think that he could actually win. it's the principle...i did that whole bag of bullshit whenever i turned 18 and voted. then i compromised my third party morals in order to vote against bush in the next election in some desperate attempt to change the course of the nation. didn't work...now as i stare at this list of candidates, i don't see a single person i believe in. everyone who has a shot in hell is a total fucking whacker... bring on the light rack i say.
it is kind of funny though how the candidate in the poll who has the lowest percentage of supporters in the country has the highest number of votes here on the shroomery poll. it says something about the shroomery i think.

If it were up to me I'd have Nader as prez.... I even wrote him into my ballot in Cali last election because John Asshole Kerry worked so hard at getting him removed.

Agreed, bush sucks; Kerry sucks. I really don't like the maneuvering to limit third-party access to the ballots though- seems undemocratic.
I think we should have some sort of runoff voting where you can pick a first and a second choice. That way you can pick your first candidate (say, third party) while voting for a mainstream candidate (second choice) without helping the current asshole in power's (Bush) chances.
Neither party will ever go for the above though, unless people demand it- which they won't... they can't be bothered to learn the differences between the two candidates we've got now.. let alone more.

I'm voting for Ron Paul in the primaries. As to who will win I can't make a good guess until I see who gets the nominations. Hillary or Obama will never be president if either gets the nomination and it looks like one of them will get it. The only Democrat I see that has a chance of beating any of the leading Republicans is John Edwards. I'll vote for Edwards in a heartbeat. But the Democrats are stupid and won't nominate him so they deserve to loose so fuck em. I could however live with Rudy or Thompson for 4 years.

I think its funny how the general consensus out in society seems to be that Hillary will get the nod for the Dems (at least this is how I have experienced it). Then when it comes right down to it no one thinks she can get elected. Too much anti-Clinton sentiment out there for her to overcome I guess.
Heres to another Republican term in the White House.

If Barack Obama gets the Democratic nomination, I believe that he will win the election.
If Hillary Clinton, on the other hand, receives the Democratic nomimation, then whoever the Republicans nominate will probably win.
Ron Paul doesn't have a fucking chance in hell.

Where?
Alabama?
Mississippi?
Florida?
Do you really think any of those states would go for ANY democratic nominee?
Sure, there will be people who won't vote for B-Rock because he's black. But there are also alot of people who won't for Hillary because she's a woman, Romney because he's a Mormon Jesus-Freak, and Ron Paul because he's a big-eared little gnome.
But in the states that MATTER to the Democrats, I really dont think its going to be that big of an issue.
But every third person you talk to hates Hillary Clinton's guts and wouldn't vote for her if she was running against Beezlebub.
I, for one, would like to win one of these fucking elections before I turn 40.

If Hillary does not win the nomination I'd be very surprised if anyone took on her on their ticket because she would alienate voters in the general election. There is no real plus to taking her.

The dems need to realize that even though Hilary has more support from the democrats... they're aren't going to sway dems to vote republican no matter who they pick (Hilalry or Obama). However if Barack gets the nomination then I bet there are plenty of republicans that would vote for him because he's "NOT HILARY".
I think it would be smart to give Obama the vote because he's capable of getting more non-party votes.

I'm predicting an Obama/Edwards ticket for that very reason... and also because there's been so much bad blood between Obama and Hilary so far as well.
Edwards is more marketable to non-democrats as well.

Yep. Having a white southern male on the ticket just might allow them to pick off a southern state or two. With Hillary on the ticket you can forget that.

I'm hoping Edwards will run. If he does, I'd vote for him in a snap and I think he'd end up winning. if Obama and Hillary teamed up, the democratic base might be united enough to get them in as well. I just can't see a slightly-black man and a woman winning presidency of the united states. That's precisely why I'd vote for them.
Based on the shroomery poll though it looks like Ron Paul has the oval office. BWHAHAHAHHA! He's a real person! He'll be shot before they can announce his win in the primaries!
Although I recall he had 30% in some fox news poll which really suprised me. He was right up there with Giulianni, the mafioso dick-head. They later explained that the whole thing was a mess-up and Ron Paul's guys cheated. I'm sure that explains it Fox News. Thanks for clearing that up. I almost had a positive thought about you.

We have a black man, an anti gun freak, a mormon, and a few whack jobs running for President. It doesn't really matter who gets the presidency. I like McCain, because he's anti lobbyist and means it. But McCain and Ron Paul are in the same boat, neither will win.
Personally, I predict Hillary as our next Pres, but I could really care less who wins. Anyone is better than Bush.

I bet you say the same about GWB.
Funny, I nor anybody else I know has gone to a single day of church more than they wanted to since GW was elected... and the immoral debauchery has proceeded as before.
It's the strangest thing but I don't see a single bit more "religion" anywhere. Oh, except sometimes during his addresses to the union he mentions God. I don't watch them in the first place. Be honest, neither do you, they're all boring as hell and there's only ever about 3 minutes worth of interesting content that you'll hear about on the news for the next week anyway.
So tell me again how any of these Presidents will force religion down anyone's throats?

and how has any of that changed for the worse?
gay marriage has NEVER been allowed. Oh.. except now in a few states it is. the war in iraq has nothing to do with religion, that's more of a stretch than saying it was all about oil. it was about MANY things.
the intelligent design issue has been floating around for DECADES.. the scopes monkey trial was back in 1925. It's no more of an issue now than it was 80 years ago, or 10 years ago.
Two of those issues don't even have anything to do with the president at all, anyway. GW has no impact on gay marriage -- that's a state issue right now -- nor does he have any impact on the ID debacle.

Actually, that's not what Greenspan said. Greenspan felt that in his opinion it was necessary to resume hostilities in Iraq in order to ensure a steady flow of oil through the Strait of Hormuz, and he relayed that opinion to the administration. The administration, however, rejected that as a motive for the invasion.

“I am saddened that it is politically inconvenient to acknowledge what everyone knows: the Iraq war is largely about oil,” he says.

In Greenspan's opinion, the reason to depose Hussein was to stabilize oil flow from the Middle East. He himself felt that particular reason alone was all that was necessary (or at least was the most important reason) to resume hostilities with Hussein.
The Bush administration (and Congress) felt otherwise.
Let's face it, Greenspan is an economist. It's unsurprising he prioritizes in terms of economic repercussions.

On a different note, how on earth is Ron Paul the lead in this poll? He's barely even mentioned in mainstream media (compared to other candidates)... I think it's quite the pipe dream to think he's got a change.

Securing new sources of oil was clearly a very high priority for the Bush administration upon taking office. This is evidenced by the fact that Cheney lauched his Energy Task Force in only week two of the adminstration's first term.
The proceedings were held in secret. (Of course anything involving the shadowy Cheney will be done behind closed doors). A Freedom of Information Act lawsuit uncovered documents such as maps of Iraqi oilfields, pipelines, refineries, terminals, and potential areas for exploration; and a Pentagon chart “Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield Contracts". All documents were dated March 2001.
Look at the priorities of our military upon taking Iraq. The country was allowed to be looted but the Iraqi Oil Ministry? Untouched. Oil infrastructure? Secured.
Just look at their actions. Look at oil prices over the last few years.
I know what their stated motives were. And I have noticed they have continually shifted over time. I have also noticed that virtually everything they have said about the Iraq war has proven to be false. Therefore I suggest everyone take their claims that Iraq was not about oil with a large mountain of salt.

If Ron Paul didn't look like the Heaven's Gate dude, he might have a better chance. In order to win, you have to be all botoxed up like a wax sculpture... like Mitt Romney. I think Mitt's just an alien. Wouldn't surpise me.
If John Kerry would have done some last minute bottox injections to give himself more of a padunkadunk and worn some hoochie mama jeans... he might have actually won in 2004.
