Michele 1 #1 October 28, 2004 We've had lots of "who will you vote for" polls, but I was wondering who people think will be our next President. Not who will you vote for, not who you wish would win, but who you think will actually be our next President.

tunaplanet 0 #2 October 28, 2004 I've asked this before. No liberal had the balls to stand up and predict a win for their man. I'm sure, however, there will be some votes for him now that it's annonymous. Forty-two Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #3 October 28, 2004 And there I was thinking I was being original. LOL! I think it'll be interesting to see who people believe will be the next President, anonymous or not. That's a question the pollsters don't ask...and I don't know why. Well, it will be interesting to see what this poll says. While it's not terribly scientific, nor exclusive to Americans who vote, it will still show public opinion...

No one has ever hear me passionately support or oppose a political candidate. Basically, I viewed it with amusement as one set of gestures and words swayed the nation. This is the first time (yeah, I'll buy beer :) I see the choice as a critical one. This isn't a game supporting one team or another. This is just about the most significant election in our history. This is a cusp that will either turn our country into big brother watching out for our welfare, or it might turn away from such a path. 30 years from now, please remember this conversation ...then go out and fight the sonsabitches who took away our freedom under the guise of protecting it. That's where we're headed. If you believe that it is necessary to sacrafice the essential freedoms that this country was founded upon, for a sense of security, then I just disagree. If, however, you really don't see what's coming, well god help us all. Michael Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Michele 1 #15 October 28, 2004 Chris: Quote If Bush wins, would he be considered the "next" President? I thought about that when I wrote up the poll. If I asked using other terms, there would potentially be a skewing of the way things are read, so I just asked it the way I did. Mike: QuoteThis isn't a game supporting one team or another. This is just about the most significant election in our history. This is a cusp that will either turn our country into big brother watching out for our welfare, or it might turn away from such a path. Unlike others, I don't see this as a game; elections have never been a game wherein one side plays the other. I have always seen elections as a deadly serious obligation and priviledge...it's always been critical in my life. Whether or not this is the cusp of "Big Brother" I don't know. I honestly believe that it's not. Yes, I'm aware of all the comments from both sides...aware of the doom/gloom criers from both sides...aware of the lies and stories from both sides. I'm fairly intelligent, too, and widely read. But I don't believe the same as you do. Does that make either of us wrong? No, just people who hold different opinions. QuoteThat's where we're headed. If you believe that it is necessary to sacrafice the essential freedoms that this country was founded upon, for a sense of security, then I just disagree. If, however, you really don't see what's coming, well god help us all. I see your position, and I see how you might have reached it. But I don't think it will happen - again, that's not a failing on my part, but simply a different opinion. The same way I don't believe you've failed because you don't see things the way I do.

That's where we're headed. Well, with the Democrats penchant for disarming the public - particularly all arms worth using in a fight, what do you propose we fight with? Really, do you think the Democrats would shy from taking just as many freedoms as the Republicans, if not more?!? Neither candidate is going to come up with any great change in the momentum of government. If Kerry wins, things will get worse and people will blame Kerry for making it worse than ift was under Bush. If Bush wins, things will get worse and people will blame eight year of Bush and the next Democrat is almost guaranteed a Penn Ave address.
