I'll take 'Iowa' for 2008, Alex.

Obama is fine. I'll take Obama. Maybe he'll flesh out his platform now. Still waiting for the next/first female president- Nick mentions some congresswoman from Kansas as a possibility. It sure as heck ain't Feinstein or Pelosi or Clinton, although I couldn't tell you why beyond that people seem to dislike elderly women in positions of power. ( Read more... )

I don't like her because she's running to the right- but I'd take her. Obviously, I'd take her, given the alternative.

Huckabee?! Isn't he like an insane-o bible thumper?
Like fuck the future Jesus is coming NOW kinda guy?

(Also, I <3 you and need to send you an email expressing my affection for you and my doily :D)

He's not so very fundy as fundies go; plus he has more social justice awareness than the other candidates.

... of course, I'm operating on the assumption that he won't get past the general. (SEND A PICTURE OF MY DOILY NOW NOW NOW NOW.)

Wait so who's the one from the south who wanted to quarantine AIDS patients? I'm just irritated with his homosexuality is a choice and abortion should be be illegal platform, yadda yadda. Not that you were defending him, but I just feel like someone should let the Republican party know they aren't running for president of some mega-church or something, but rather for US president.

Dude, I KNOW. I KNOW. But he's good on the poor and on illegal immigrants. Given that every asshole contending for the Republican nomination will make the obligatory nods to homophobes, anti-choicers and racists, he's almost preferable.
Again, working on the assumption that he's not going to win here. At least he's not 1.) a fascist (Giu-giu) 2.) a hairdo (Rom-rom) or 3.) a reanimated corpse (Thom-thom!).

How long before a Ron Paul fanatic finds this post, and the subsequent siege ensues?

Having a female president would be nice, but I wouldn't want one for the sake of having one. I don't particularly trust Clinton, and her opinions regarding certain issues, such as her part in the crusade against violent video games (no, it's not a moral/ethical issue on the level of abortion rights, but I still care about it), never really stood well with me.

str1 January 4 2008, 04:53:34 UTC

And I just found out that an online friend of mine that lives in Iowa was forced to vote for Clinton by his wife. THESE ELECTIONS ARE RIGGED!!!11 :o

ursako January 4 2008, 04:55:14 UTC

I'm sorry.... your friend has no one to blame but himself. Never let your mate tell you who to vote for.

str1 January 4 2008, 04:59:09 UTC

Oh, I'm quite aware of that. Members of the forum have already starting mocking him for it.

ursako January 4 2008, 05:02:24 UTC

... I wouldn't mock him for it, but jeez. If she convinces you, it's another thing, but it's your vote, for god's sakes.
