Who Will You Vote For?

Since there are so many posters who asked for more than just the Obama/McCain matchup, I'm putting one up for all the candidates, and undecided/abstain choices. I think I'm going to try to put this poll up once a month to see how things are changing over time, as sort of a measuring stick.

also, I am asking all members of the board: Please do NOT stuff the poll. It's just an on-line opinion poll, it doesn't mean anything. I'm asking you all to be honest here.

Note: I just realised I misspelled McCain's name. That was an unintentional accident. If a mod can fix it, I'd appreciate it.

Wait, Cynthia McKinney, is that the congresswoman who got in trouble for hitting a security guard?

I believe its the same one. She's the front runner for the green nomination right now.

I'll vote for Bob Barr assuming the republicans or democrats do not screw him by keeping his name off the ballot.If they do that then I will simply not vote.

Don't you feel it's rather pointless to vote for the "other" candidates? I only vote one of the two frontrunners cause they are the one's that will win.

I'm not getting why so many here are voting for Obama. Has anyone actually been listening to some of the changes he wants to make? True he'll have to go through Congress, but if the Congress is Democratic a lot of it will get passed in MHO.

At first I was glad to hear he would get us out of Iraq possibly sooner, but after hearing and seeing his many, many proposals, no thank you, Iraq isn't my only concern. I'd say we'll be more bankrupt and have less of our own money than ever before if he gets elected, plus I'm a tad scared he'll actually be a bit racist, by this I mean he'll want to give way too much away to minorities for no other reason than they're minorities. I'm thinking reparations, and giving all the illegals legal status. This concerns me, plus he wants to tax capital gains, and increase taxes on those that make $250,000. This is very obviously socialism, and he's a good actor, I'll give him that, but I don't want more socialism. Plus instead of being a uniter, which I doubt is possible, I think he'll be a divider. He has a wife who doesn't look like she really likes whites. He's hung around some very anti-white people. I'm apprehensive. I'd say if he was completely white he wouldn't get the time of day. Say it ain't so, but it's looks funky to me.

No I do not feel that way.I dislike McCain as much as I dislike Obama.I feel that if McCain wins we can kiss any future viable republican conservative presidential candidate goodbye.I would rather the republicans get their asses handed to them this election so that the next election they quit trying to prop up liberal and sell out republicans. I feel that Bob Barr is better than Obama and McCain,I do not agree with all his views but I still think he is a better choice than those two.I know there is a snow ball's chance in hell of Bob Barr winning ,but I would rather my vote go to someone I believe is the better candidate than simply voting for the lesser of two evils.

And that's what they are counting on.

As much as John McCain has been reaching across the isle how do you know McCain will not do the same thing or at least compromise on it?
