Who do you support for president and why? Or, conversely, who will you not vote for and why?
Discuss points covered in the debates, why certain candidates scare you, how Ron Paul can use the word 'we' in reference to the Republican party with a straight face, whatever.

Fred does look like an acceptable candidate.
And, sure, I'd vote for a Democratic candidate. That person would have to be a wise leader, fear God, espouse the work ethic, honor marriage, recognize that the Puritans who founded this country helped ensure its prosperity with the values they passed down, be willing to protect those values at home and abroad, above reproach, understand that humans are stewards of the earth, not to be heedless or mistake it for a mother-goddess,
and speak 4 languages.
That's not that picky, is it?

But it does automatically exclude most, if not all democrats. I agree, I'm sort of leaning toward Fred Thompson for president. Romney would probably be my second choice at the moment...
What do you think of Giuliani? He's definitely not all that conservative--even a slightly socialistic teacher I have said that he was a social-liberal. But he would get more votes from the swing voters, and even the occasional democrat, than any other republican candidate. And even Giuliani would be better than a democrat like Hillary Clinton or Obama.

And now they're saying illegal immigration is partly Rudy's fault, as he welcomed illegals into New York. gonk
Well...I think he might be an acceptable compromise.

I don't like him, personally. But I think he'd be better than a democrat, and probably more likely to win against a democratic candidate than one of the more conservative candidates.

*sigh* That leaves Romney and Hunter. I'm surprised Hunter hasn't dropped out yet. Go Romney, I guess. McCain's oblivious when it comes to immigration--I was under the impression for a long time that he was our Democratic senator. (This was before he started running for president) Hucklebee is just as bad: Hucklebee “One of the great challenges facing us is that we do not commit the same mistakes with our growing Hispanic population that we did with African Americans 150 years ago and beyond. We’re still paying the price for the pathetic manner in which this country handled that… I think, frankly, the Lord is giving us a second chance to do better than we did before.” -- SourceGuiliani's a social liberal, and Ron Paul's a little out there. I really kind of like Hunter.... it's just that he has no chance of winning. No one knows who he is.

Well well well...lots of dropouts. Edwards and Giuliani, before them Fred Thompson, Joe Biden and Dodds.
Somehow I thought Huckabee would be one of the early dropouts.

Giuliani and Governator are both endorsing McCain... that doesn't bode well. It's really laughable that McCain tries to use his status as coming from a border state to help his argument for amnesty. People living in his state tend to think he's delirious when it comes to that subject.
I got my voter registration card today... BOO-yah! I was starting to think that it wouldn't get here in time for the primary. biggrin

Colossia Congrats! I didn't know you were 18. 4laugh Thanks! I turned 18 a couple months ago. Now the county recorder site thingy says I can't vote in the primary, but I registered in the end of December--over 29 days prior to the election--so I'm going. It may just be that site that's screwed up or something.

Careful...you may have to stage a sit-in if they don't give you your voting rights. blaugh
I wonder how liberal Boomers feel when they see their own tactics used for a, ahem, different purpose.
Super Tuesday is over, California voted and...dirty little secret...although the bulk of white Americans would be OK with a black president, Asians and Hispanics would definitely not. They voted away from Obama in droves.

It was just the site that was screwed up.
McCain and Hillary won in my state. It's looking like McCain is going to get the nomination.
I have a theory... the socialist politicians kicked the liberal politicians out of their own party, and the liberals migrated to the republican party, where they are at odds with the conservatives.

Well Mitt Romneny dropped out.
I don't like McCain will win so it's going to be either Obama or Hillary.

ryokomayuka Well Mitt Romneny dropped out. I don't like McCain will win so it's going to be either Obama or Hillary. He could have at least tried to outlast Huckleberry! scream I hope Hitlary gets the Democratic nomination. I think she's ahead at the moment.... I don't like McCain, but at least he's not a socialist. And I think he could win against Hillary. Maybe not against Obama. Does anyone know what the difference is between dropping out entirely and suspending a campaign? I'm guessing in the long run it's the same thing, but what's the technical difference?
