Joke post?
Fallout 3 is a simulation of what survival would be like with another term of that d-bag.
I would vote for Bush again I voted for him in '04 but chances are in that case that Bill Clinton would have won a third term in 2000 and who knows who'd be running now....or conversely if Bush were to be running for a third term i'm not so sure he'd win the nomination for the Republican ticket since that's not necessarily guaranteed.
"What have i done.? Is it too late to save me from this place? From the depths of the grave? We all are those .. who thought we were brave."
Yes, I would vote for Bush Sr. in a second! His son however... if it was Bush Jr. vs Obama?
Sadly, Yes. As much as I don't like Hillary, if she had won the primary, I might vote for her over McCain, just because of Palin.
Obama, never. If I wanted to live in Europe, I would move to Europe.
What's wrong with Europe?

It's a little to social for my tastes.
The more social you become, the less free the people are. The standard of living in Europe is good, but try and buy a house (in some countries, you can only buy through auction), A car (some countries have a waiting list), or open a bank account (some require letters of recondition first).
I like to compare it to growing up at home, and then moving out.
Socialism is your country taking care of you, like your parents did. When you were a kid, you didn't need to think about healthcare, or feeding yourself. You parents did that. But that came with rules. Your personal freedoms were not your own.
When you move out, you now have no one taking care of you but yourself, yet you have the freedom to live your life how you see fit.
I like that concept a lot better then living in a country where I am taken care of at the expense of my freedoms. Many don't though, so for them, enjoy Europe. For the rest of us, let's try and keep this country a little more free :).

That's okay. I don't wanna live in America (although I'd like a trip of a few months to the US).

Well, I can tell you for a fact that none of those three examples you gave happen here. Also, if you feel that being given socialised healthcare is too paternal for you, you can choose not to have it, and go for private insurance instead. There is always that freedom, here. It's just that here, you have the freedom to recieve high quality healthcare without having to remortgage your house to pay for it (in some circumstances, of course).
hmmm..... depends on who he was running against....
Would I vote for: Gore ....no. Clinton (bill).....no. Kerry.....HELL no..... Hilary... uh. no. McCain....no. Obama....hmmm..... nah, I just don't like most of his ideas about how to run the country.
So yeah, I guess I would vote for Bush if he was running again, but not because I especially like him. I think Bush did an excellent job for the first 2 - 2 1/2 years of his term, then he just kind of fell apart. Still, as bad as he's been for the majority of his term, I have no doubt in my mind he did a hell of a lot better job than Kerry ever would have. I just can't understand what the Dems were thinking when they nominated that moron. I mean, they had the White House in the bag and they threw it away.....
Not trying to be a fanboy. Of course, it's hard when you own the best console eve... dang it
| lightbleeder said: Bush is probably the worst president US ever had. About Bill Clinton, I'd like to see him in office again too |
What about Herbert Hoover and Taft? Thye were both worse imo. Making the great depression worse and being a fatass FTL. Bush may have chocked on a pretzel, but he never got stuck in a bathtub.
| jjseth said: Bush was an absolutely horrible president and many of our problems today go back to his policies. I would not only say no to another Bush term, but HELLLLLL NO to it. If Clinton was able to run again in 2000, its highly likely that he would have beat Bush as well. Gore did everything to lose the election when he should have easily won it, but he was stiff, forced the kiss on his wife that disgusted many and did n't come off well to the regular person. But Obama vs Bush would be very easy for me. I voted in 2000 and 2004 against Bush... This year for the first time since 1996 I'm actually Voting FOR someone I like. To those supporting McCain this year. Do you consider yourself a typical Republican? Or are you a Fundie or Neocon? Did McCain really excite you back before the primaries started? Are you voting for McCain or just for the Republican? McCain isnot your typical republican and we all know that. However he's pretended to be more like one just for this election. If he were to win, would he revert to his 2000 self? Or would he be the Bush lapdog of the past few years? |
I have no idea what I am, but I am voting for McCain. My first time voting as well. I don't really like McCain, I think Palin is incompetent, and I find Obama quite likeable. However, I strongly disagree with Obamas economic policy. McCains plan isn't all that great, but its better than Obama's in my opinion. McCains stance on education+Iraq war (we will remain as a permanany force... >.<) and his possibility of dying worries me, but since we are in a recession I have to vote with my Wallet. I just wish McCain was willing to reform education the way Obama is. I don't know that throwing more money at 1-5 year olds will help, but merit based pay for teachers and giving $4000 a year to high school graudates to help pay for college/ encourage community college will almost definatly help our society.
