Politics

Post by Kadian »

Seems like everyone wanted back their place to spout off their political opinions, so here it is. This might be temporary if it creates too many fights, but I think it will be worth having at least during the U.S. election season. Feel free to discuss the politics of other countries and world events as well, it doesn't need to be just about the U.S. in here.....

Heh, it would have been a very one-sided debate, hehe..

So what about obama/clinton, who do you want to see win the primaries and become the representative for the democrats?

Do you think the loser will openly, right efter his/her defeat, support the winner in the real election against the republicans? This has been debated to some degree here in sweden as well.

The loser will support the party. And it doesn't matter who wins. McCain has already won this election. He won it the moment he said he was running in my opinion. And to be honest, ive already had enough of both democrats.

So long as McCain doesn't do anything crazy stupid, you almost have to stay with him. Hes got the longest record, most experience, hes closer to the middle, in terms of getting things moving in the country.

It'll probably be Obama Vs McCain, with a McCain landslide. Somewhere in the 60% to 40% area. Unless of course, McCain does something insane between now and november.

I really dont see much to discuss. This election wont be nearly as heated. Obama will resign the campaign hours before all the votes are in, thats how big of a landslide i predict.

I actually agree here.
My own opinions on the matter; Obama scares me =<

That's wierd actually. The news I've read always predict that Obama will most likely win VS cain. Not that I can predict the outcome myself, but it seems wierd that you guys predict a land slide victory for cain but teh press I've read says the opposite.

i think McCain should win, but i don't think he will anymore, his politically ideologies changed a lot after he won the primaries, instead of his own viewpoints everything flip-flopped (teehee) to the opposite, now his view match that of Bush's just in an attempt to grab more voters, but i think will hurt him overall in the polls.

i don't like any of the candidates, i hate hillary, i dislike obama, and now i dislike mccain after his 180 in terms of his political outlook or whatever.

liked mccain last year but now meh, i hate all the candidates, probably another election i won't be voting in.

Not retracting my stance, but id say completely changing your political views, and choosing a crazy woman with no experience to run the country if you die certainly qualifies as insane.
