I did, that's about when I turned it off

Who did you think won the debate?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14292

Neither really, Edwards did ok, but I think came off a little too strong, Cheney did a good job of deflecting questions and replying with criticism that took your mind off the issue being discussed. Neither really did well, imo.

What are your predictions for the next debate?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14298

that it will be just as asinine and useless to the american voter as any debate in recent memory.

why do people think these 'debates' are still relevant?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14300

As has been said numorous time, they are because the american public is not informed enough to make decisions on their own, the debates prove it. And if the debates done right, like our government or any other thing, they would be good and important.

What is the point of always harping on the negative?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14302

because too many ignorant americans are ignorant to the negative's of american campaigns, and especially the debates.

why is it wrong to point out negatives if you feel it can lead to a positive?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14306

nothing, but from history and experience, the good tends not pointed out when you start overwhelmingly with the bad. Focus on one side and it flavors your thought process.

What kind of water do you prefer?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14310

water made with hydrogen and oxygen.

would you prefer to be bludgeoned with a baseball bat, or kicked in the cajoles with a steel toed boot?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14312

that's the saddest hard question I've had to answer...

I guess bludgeoned, I think the pain would end quicker.

What's the longest you've been in a car?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14314

i don't remember exactly how long...31 hours i think?

braves or astros?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14316

astros have an unfair advantage for me.

Did you hear where the Expos are going?

why do people insist on wasting their votes on kerry and bush?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14328

Because, at the moment, those are the only two possible candidates that can possibly get elected

What changes to the system would make 3rd party candidates more popular?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14329

removal of certain restrictions keeping third parties off ballots and out of debates.

so waste your vote because everyone else is? would you jump off a cliff if everyone else did, too?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14330

No, because it is the only choce at this point, many 6 months ago a 3rd or 4th canadate had a chance, but not now, the game is to lopsided and geared towards 2 parties.

Why don't more states drop the winner takes all method and distribute more fairly to the vote?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14333

because then the candidates would completely ignore the smaller states.

the only reason that they are the only two choices is because nobody wants to take the initiative to vote for them. if all of the millions of americans that vote for the main parties just because they are the main parties would vote for the third parties, then that would be pretty big, no?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14334

Most people I talk to don't even know that there are other choices, but yeah, if everybody elected a Third-Party candidate, I'd be surprised (and pleased, unless it was a fascist third party or something )

What do you think of the Communist party (http://www.cpusa.org/) ?

Shredded meat.

What's a party you think you might agree with best?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14359

Any party that has Alcohol/birthday presents for me/both?
As for political parties, not really sure, Ralph Nader resonates the best with me, really.

Which 3rd party candidate do you prefer?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14371

ron paul (too bad he's not actually running this year, but he ran in 1996)

i feel that most americans have libertarian tendencies, but with a strong sympathy that leads to some socialistic tendencies. what do you think about a socialist-libertarian party?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14376

If my understanding of socialism is correct (avoiding a society that rewards the small concentration of the wealthy, and tries to keep all classes on even ground), sounds like it might garner more support, although enforcing socialism might tread on some libertarian core values (little-to-no government interference)

How'd you find out about the Libertarian party?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14381

BTW, here's my results on the Libertarian political quiz (looks like I might be a libertarian after all )

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14382

an old friend that went to one of their conventions turned me on to it. coincidentally, he's quite liberal.

what's more important: voting for a winner, or voting based upon your principles and ideals?

Archived topic from Anythingforums, old topic ID:82, old post ID:14390

Voting for the winner that's closest to your principals (And if none of the 'winners' have your principals, go to the next closest thing)

Doesn't Neal Boortz seem more republican than Libertarian?
