vote

The last thread I started defended the possible authenticity of the memos. I hope I can do a little bit better this time. Presidents take a lot of credit when the economy is good, and are given a lot of blame when the economy is bad. This is so important to campaigns that candidates try to...

The centrist magazine Panorama, it has published today morning an opinion poll regarding the US elections asking the citizen if they would prefer to vote for Bush or for Kerry. The 52% of the people have answered Bush while Kerry has got just the 48%. Not all of Europe it seams is against the...

Heck, how about another exhaustive impromptu poll... how many people are changing their presidential vote from 2000, and why (in short)? (for purposes of this poll, "changing your vote" means voting for a different party).

Bush mentioned this stuff from the previous administration in his RNC speech, and bitched about 'nothing being done': http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/binladen/ http://abcnews.go.com/sections/world/DailyNews/yemen010108.html The first WTC bombing, the USS Cole, the embassies, etc...

It took me time to figure it out, but when all is said and done, neither Bush nor Kerry deserves to be in office. At all. Take John Kerry for example. First and formost, let's forget the Swifties and MoveOn. Neither of them apply here. What matters is the man and what he proposes. I have...

Read all about it here! Then that means... the Democrats... are... OMG TERRORISTS. :hb:

Do atheist vote? Near as I can tell we have never had an openly atheist candidate for any major office. Who is the most atheistic or least religious candidate in the US? All I see are candidates attempting one-upmanship on the godliness scale.

If California State Senator John Vasconcellos has his way, 14, 15, 16, and 17 year olds will be voting in California elections by 2006. Read the proposed bill by clicking here: Proposed Amendment Personally, I have no problem with this idea, except with the 1/4 and 1/2 vote part. If they...

Yup. Republican Muslim Americans. http://www.nctimes.com/articles/2004/05/06/special_reports/religion/21_12_235_5_04.txt Please click the link before commenting.

....regarding withdrawal of all Israeli settlements from Gaza and several minor(?) settlements in the West Bank. As I understand it, the vote is by the members of the Likud Party and they can either accept or reject Sharon's proposal. I haven't seen any polls on this, but I get the impression...

Ok, so we have elections this Sunday. I have a terrible problem, I don't know what to vote. Please help me by putting your intuition to work. What you see above are the symbols of the 6 major political parties in Greece. You don't have to know their positions or ideology since it wouldn't make...

It seems to me like religion is going to play quite a factor is the election this year versus years past (in the modern era). From all the mention of god in speeches and debates and such. So does Kerry have a chance against the God Squad? Will Kerry play to the God Squad in an attempt to sway...

Cthulhu For President

AP Poll Notes Decline in Support for Bush Polls show Koko the Gorilla running 17 points ahead of Bush among independent voters! More details as they become available!

Ok Houston JREFers. Are you for or against the rail initiative? I am conflicted over the issue. But I want to hear your opinions first.

Enough of this kind of politics I am switching to independent. It was bad enough that the union called me up and told me to vote no on the recall, but coming after my kids? What next? _________________________________________________ "Basically, we're doing Chicago-style politics at the...

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned in another thread before, but I'm curious as to why the recall opposition is for delayings the vote. I mean, the recall is still going to happen anyway. What's the logic behind it? Thanks Gem

In thirty years, I have voted for two democrats, Jerry Brown for governor of California (because his anti-establishment approach appealed to me) and Carter for president (because Ford pardoned Nixon). I think I might vote for my third Democrat this time around in the presidential vote. I...

According to this Yahoo news article, the New York Times has run an obituary for Bob Hope, but the writer had died in 2000!! Maybe he should get the Randi million posthumously? :wink8:
