Two more years of war inevitable

[AZ Fins Fan 55]

  Not only no but FUCK NO!!!!! Not because she is a woman...but because she is Hillary Clinton. Need I say more?

[Buddhagirl]

I'm ready to start ordering my Hilary in '08 tshirts. 

I think she'd do great.

[Frimp]

I think she'd do great.

Why?

[Phishfan]

This may be an election where I will be forced to waste my vote by voting Libertarian or Independant.

I would love for you to vote Libertarian. Here are some positions you would be "supporting" that I don't think you would agree with.

The end of drug prohibition
Complete end of censorship
Complete privacy (no spying on US citizens)
Opposition to identity cards for any measure (includes voting, border crossing, etc.)

While there are many other ideals you would agree with, from what i know of you on this board these I believe are some fundamental points you would have a very strong disagreement with.

[Frimp]

I have no problem with drug legalization. If it happened. There are pros and cons about it.

I do have a problem with censorship, but one person's right to free speech ends when it violates someone elses rights. Also, kids should not be allowed to go see a porno movie, etc.

Complete privacy, I have no problem with. Anyone who is being wiretapped is being tapped because they are receiving phone calls from terrorists. That makes them traitors in my book.

I do think that one should show ID to vote and at border crossings.

Actually, I'm probably more Libertarian than Republican in most cases.

[CF DolFan]

Personally I'm not sure who I'd vote for. It depends on who is running and the platforms they are runnning on.  Basicly I just can't vote Republican or Democrat just because. I think it depends on who is more towards my views based on whatever the hot topic is. Neither side is 100% "just" nor is either side 100% evil. It's weighing out what matters most to you is what is really important. If you just vote party lines then I think your not much of an individual ... but I guess that's self explanatory.

[JVides]

As a registered Independent, I vote for the person, not the party.  I do tend to vote for Republican presidential candidates, because I don't think it's a sin to try to maintain this country's economic and military power, as some people on the left do.  I also see the sense of having lower individual tax rates, because Americans by and large spend what they have, which means the tax savings are just dumped right back into the economy (OK, that's a simplistic explanation of a very complex economic model, but it works somewhat like that).  I'd love to see McCain run, for he reminds me of the "True Republicans" that I admire, like Theodore Roosevelt.

You contradict yourself here. I mean COMPLETE privacy which means no forms of wiretapping without the owners consent. That means no spying for any reason on a US Citizen (terrorist or not). As an extension of this they support that every citizen has the right to encrypt messages without the government trying to break the code..

Maybe so, but if someone in the US is plotting with terrorists, they have betrayed what their citizenship stands for.

I heard something the other day,Since 1980 there's has been a Bush,or a Clinton on the Ballot,will this continue?

I'd be in favor of a woman canidate,but Not Hillary.

I'd like to see some fresh blood in the whitehouse.

[Buddhagirl]

Why?

I think she's a strong leader.  In my opinion, she's always been the brains of the operations anyway.  Might as well make it official.

If the Dems come up with someone else, I'll have to reevaluate.  However, I would be fine with Hilary and she's the one of the only Dems that's showing any promise in my opnion.  That might change as we near '08.

[Spider-Dan]

The only Republican I would consider voting for is McCain.  I would vote Democrat over anyone else, regardless of who was on the ticket (except maybe Lieberman, who I can't stand).

I considered voting for Nader back in 2000, and the results of that election really drove home the point that a vote for [third-party candidate] is the same as voting for the person you least want to win.

I'd love to see a woman elected president, but I'm with ya Lil_B...not Hillary.

Hell, in the interests of getting rid of as many societal roadblocks as possible with one shot, I'd like that female president to either be African American, Latino or Asian, to backhand all the people who say that a minority will never be president. I'd like her to have a physical handicap as well...wheelchair preferred, but if she just has a clubfoot with a pronounced limp...I'm down with that. That will kick all the people who swear the handicapped cannot be president in the television age, squarely in the nads. If she can be a card-carrying carpet-munching lesbian, groovy...if not, then openly bisexual is a must. This will help beat down a lot of the homophobia obstacles this prudish society has in place. Any of the following items in Madam President's resume are bonus: Felony conviction, prior abortion, polygamy, drug use, HIV-positive, Practicing Buddhist, Muslim, Satanist or Scientologist, Father was a circus clown, Mother was a stripper, Brother is now her sister...

What you meant to write was, "In every election since 1976, there has been a Bush or a Dole on the Republican Presidential ticket."

[bsfins]

Nope,I saw it on CBS evening news than they went and talked about If Hillary,and Jeb running.

They also mentioned it as if you are (I think it was 49),and you've voted in every presidential election since you were eligible to vote,there has been a Bush,or Clinton on the Ballot.
