Democrat, I think they screwed up on the symbols. The Republicans are the asses. LOL


The ass is a royal animal. Jesus rode into Jerusalem on one. It was the animal of the line of David. So yeah, we'll take the ass and you can have some dumb elephant. :razz:

If I voted in America it'd probably de democrat, though in Spain I vote for Aznar's party - socialists suck and I am NOT for Basque nationalism, so yeah.

Just out of curiosity, since most of the people here are Americans, I suppose you'll be able to tell me how much people really support Bush and are happy with the way he's dealt with everything? He isn't very popular in the rest of the world, so I wanted to know. I mean, do you honestly think he'll win the November elections?

I don't like Bush, and polls lately have been showing support for Bush is going down.  Do I believe Bush will win?  I think it is very likely (depending on who goes to vote/how many people).

I think is all depends on the media.  They tend to lean towards Bush.

media?  Pro-Bush?  Have you watched the new lately?

I think the majority of the media has been remarkably anti-Bush for about a month now.

Mass media has, and always will be, of a slight liberal-bias.  Especially CNN.  Fox News is probably IMO the news channel with the most bias, but there's is toward the right.  They are so right wing it's not even funny.  Sheppard Smith or whatever his name is is so right wing biased that it's scary they allow him on the air.

I am an Independent.  Have been for years.  I'm voting for Nader.  If you want to reward the wrong policies the Democrats and Republicans have had for years, election after election, go vote for them.  I definantly want Bush out, but I also want both parties to lose some of their power as well.

If you want the parties to lose some of their power, then go with the Green Party candidate. Because Nader is running Independant, it will take a chunk of the votes away from Green Party. If we get 5% of the votes for Green Party, they get government funding. Personally, I think Nader running was a terrible mistake, but still... with Green Party, you have a better chance, and you have a shot at government funding.

Actually I have been watching less news in the past year.  I still watch the news, but since the war I have watched less "news" and more towards opinions/candidate coverage.

I do know one thing though:
C-Span is my hero :)

but one month doesn't make up for 3 years.

.....

Casting a vote for a the green party in a situation like this is suicide to the democrats.

IF I liked the republican and democrat candidate about the same, I think I would agree with you.  I would vote green just to get their votes up.

HOWEVER, since I despise Bush, I consider that wasting a perfectly good vote.
