Of the two, Obama by a narrow margin. That way, the Republican Party gets a good slap in the face hopefully followed by a good look in the mirror at what it's become.

By the way, I commend the Democratic Party on its extraordinary international propaganda, because every non-American appears to think that Romney is satan incarnate or a slobbering idiot or some mix of the two.

Not true; it's just Obama seems like a nice guy. We don't have nice guys in England, so it's nice to see a charismatic politician for once.

And Romney says a lot of silly things which just can't be forgiven. Nothing any ad campaign has done; just the general consensus.

I'm tempted to get on a plane and go vote for Obama lol (I used to live in the US)



I don't vote,but I'm guessing obama buy a slim margin. Probably 51% to 49% in the popular vote. He'll win just enough states to pull it off. There both liars,but romney is more obvious about it and obama is the better politician.

Why cant we get a good libertarian candidate?

Also why cant the libertarian party be taken more seriously?


Gary Johnson isn't a good libertarian candidate?

 

The only reason the libertarians aren't taken more seriously is because people aren't stepping up and moving away from voting for (and getting) the lesser of two evils. If people decide to change that, then things will change a lot.

But I do believe Gary is going to get a huge portion of the vote - more than any other 3rd party candidate since Ross Perot in the 90s. That will be huge for the party.


Sorry i wasnt really specific enough. I meant to say why cant we get a good libertarian elected President.

I can only hope that as time goes on the Libertarian party will get enough support to become a major played invpolitics just like the democrats and republicans.



This is the Game of Thrones

Where you either win

or you DIE

I am honesty unhappy with obama, he's just lucky he's running against someone like Romney, what would happen if it is someone honest for a change running for president? Obama wouldn't have a chance then

I agree that the republican party needs a good slap in the face and a look in the mirror.

For a political party the idolizes Raegan they sure dont seem to learn from him. He knew that compromise is just something you have to do if you want to get things done in government. The republican party has become to unwilling to compromise and gone to far to the right.

I believe Mitt Romney is more left wing than most of the republican party and if elected can hopefully drag the republican party back from the far right.

I think the Republican party will be dead in 20 years.

I litterally know no young adult my age that likes them. Not one - and they're all from conservative-leaning families. I'd say 80% support Gary in one form or fashion.

When the older generation dies out, I don't see the current crop of kids suddenly deciding that they want massive social authoritarianism which seems to be the Republicans braed & butter any more. Even the most fundamentalist of Christians I know (since I'm a youth pastor) generally support gay marriage & the legalization of drugs, as well as a much more non-interventionist foreign policy.

Given a few years, that will be disastrous for the Republicans, because the Moral Majority-types will cease to exist. At that point, there will be little to differentiate the Republicans from the Democrats - even less than there is today.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Well, personally the republican propaganda influenced me more in my believe that they are just unfit for presidency. I don't doubt there are a majority of sane people in the GOP, but they just seemed to be in no hurry to shut up the "few" crazies that unloaded their venom and ridiculousness into every microphone they encountered.

this is Gore v Bush all over again, with Gore winning.


I don't know...  Gore actually might of had more in common Policy wise with Mitt Romney they he does Obama.

 

One of Gore's biggest campaign issues was that Bush was going to cause a huge debt, and was going to end up causing the death of social security and medicare because he wasn't serious about reforms because the federal government raids social security and uses it to run up it's own deficit.  His plan actually called for a partial privatisation in the form of the creation of a "retirement savings plus" program.

If anything i'd say it was Gore V Bush... with Bush winning.

Gore is a lot more conservative then people remember, confusing the matter largely because since his election he's built himself a successful buisness based on being  a global warming alaramist by selling carbon offsets and making "An inconvient truth" which most climate scientists agree is overexagerated.   (All while being extremely not green himself.)

 

The Democrats have had some weird shifts since 2000, adopting a more neocon attitude, while advocating more egaltiranism yet actually implementing programs that cause the opposite to happen.
