Well, I basically don't associate myself with either party because to me, even though they are labeled as 2 seperate parties, I view them all as the same thing... Greedy politicians.

On the issues, I tend to lean a little more to the right (conservative, republican side) than the left (liberal, democratic side) but that's not to say I am thrilled with or support every Republican.


Instead, I tend to look at the individual & try to determine whether or not they seem trustworthy.

No, no.. George Bush cant be President again. He's done in 08. That's a sure thing.

The post above yours was refering to his brother, Jeb Bush.

Yeah, the electoral college method of voting is FUCKED! I live in a state that is always, always, always democratic. Even when when Reagan won in his landslide victory, Minnesota was the ONLY state to vote democratic, so yeah, if I were to vote republican, it's a total waste of time.

The entire system needs a major overhaul.

What they should do is break it down proportionately. Say a state has 10 EC votes and 60% of the state votes democrat and 40% votes republican. 6 of those EC votes should go to the democrat, 4 to the republican. This all or nothing system we are currently using is totally stupid.

Well, chew on this for a few minutes....



George Bush Sr. 1988-1992
Bill Clinton 1992-2000
George Bush Jr 2000-2008

And if it ends up being Jeb Bush vs. Hillary Clinton, then it's another 4-8 years.

In all, that will be 24-28 years of the same 2 families running this country (in to the ground)!

Just say 'No' to Jeb & Hillary.

well i would love to see giuliani run but i think his health would be an issue. hillary? i would vote for a woman but not her....just can't stand her, so many better choices out there. kerry? wasn't smart enough to beat bush....lost respect for him. al gore.......lol. jeb bush? don't think he'll run......really, really, hope he doesn't. both parties get there money from the same corporations so their both full of shit to me.......would love to see more third and fouth party candidates have more of a shot. some countries have 6 and seven parties. we who are the home of the free seem to squash anyone who isn't republican or democrat and that's just sad.

Well, I almost totally agree with you. Except that we, the people, don't squash 3rd party hopes. The Democrats & Republicans are the ones that squash any hopes of ever seeing a viable 3rd party candidate, let alone a 4th, 5th or 6th, because as much as they dislike each other, they aren't stupid. They realize that more parties means less control for them (both parties, collectively & individually).

Just listen to Ralph Nader talk about it some time. He knows first hand how good of a job they can do at squashing a 3rd party candidates efforts.

The only way we'll ever see a third party as a viable option will be if it's someone rich enough to fund their own campaign (like Ross Perot did) because none of the other parties are able to fundraise enough money to even get television ads, let alone any sort of national attention.

I'm sick and tired of both parties. The Dems are too damn liberal and want a socialist America. The Republicans have no back bone and seem to be concerned with only the rich. In the end both parties only care about the vote and keeping their overpaid jobs and not concerned with doing whats best for the country. If people really want a change now is the time. I'm voting Libertarian in 2008. F the Democrats and Republicans.
