Bush or Kerry?
Not to cause any problems, but I was just wondering where the rest of Chief Delphi stood on the Presidential Election. This is just for fun so don't go into a crazy debate on this. All you actually have to do is vote on the poll. There will be 10 choices Republican, Democrat, Independent, other, Bush, Kerry, Nader, Cobb, Badnarik, or Undecided. Just pick two please.

Re: Bush or Kerry?
I just wanted to see how many would vote outside their party.

So check these out: Kerry or Bush and why? John Kerry: Good, bad, or both? Women and the draft Saddam Hussein wants a debate Should we bomb/strike Iraq? What is your Favorite Bushism? Democrat or Republican? Your thoughts on war Politics, war, MTV American "selectiveness" Iraq Draft War If you take a look at those threads, you'll notice all of them deal with politics, and all of them are closed. It's not a coincidence. Most were started with good intention, to find out how people felt about the subject at hand. BUt it turns out, there are just some things that are too hard to discuss on these boards, without the threads turning into flame wars. The threads start out OK, usually, but by the end of the first page or so it starts to get pretty nasty. Another thread on politics is only going to cause problems and will be closed. It's been tried and tried again, and we just can't have a civil debate about the subject without flaming or putting someone down. I'm pretty sure you can descern poster's political party preference from those threads - if not, try PMing them and asking for a clarification. |

Friends,
I can understand why it is that political discussions are frowned upon in this forum; it’s because they bring to light our differences, which contrast remarkably with the brotherhood of FIRST. That said, we cannot believe for one second that FIRST can exist in a vacuum. We cannot believe that the rest of the world will see it our way if only we ignore it exists. I became a mentor because I know that the youth of today are our future; and, I believe that the ones from FIRST will lead the way. That is reason enough to believe that political debate on ChiefDelphi is a good thing and should be encouraged. It doesn’t matter that it may turn ugly. What matters is that we learn how it turns ugly and thereby learn to rise above it. |

But, on a side note... Woot! Bush is ahead! Also, what about the "Schwarzenegger for President" movement? :D |

Bush may be ahead in some of the polls, but his double digit lead is down to mid single digits in most polls I’ve seen this morning, and even within the margin of error in a few. A lot of key states for both candidates are very close. My family has recently become involved in a massive nationwide grassroots debtor (as in consumer bankruptcy debtors) campaign. This movement has the possibility to turn out over 100,000 votes (just from people who have filed bankruptcy, not including their friends or family) in a few key states. As for Schwarzenegger, you should probably wait on him until after he’s completed a term as my governor (not to mention most of his policies don’t match the average republican). Many politically savvy Californians were talking about Gray Davis possibly running for president back in 2001 when he was fighting to get Bush to step in and impose price controls on the energy price gouging by Enron, et al. We all know where that ended up. The moral of that story is “don’t count your chickens before they hatch (especially in politics).” |

<edit> I'll make you right-wingers a deal. You take back the 22nd amendment, and we’ll give you foreign-born people who have been citizens for 25+ years. Bill Clinton vs. Arnold Schwarzenegger? Any takers? ;) </edit> |

Re: Bush or Kerry?
I'd like to take that up. But then again I do know how mad Clinton makes Republican. I do live in Kansas. I do also realize how people obsess over celebrities. Do they think they get the same Arnold as they got in jingle all the way?
Okay, I'll take that. I like well educated effective presidents. And note just because you go to Yale and Harvard does not make you well educated or effective for that matter. Plus I'm really tired of politics centering on ideologies. I always thought that was the things government should stay out of. I really don't like the growth in bueracacy under current Republican presidents either. I really wonder who pays for that, at least in the long run I think it is the people under 25 who will have to deal with the deficit. |
Re: Bush or Kerry?
Sounds good to me.
Does anyone here remember when Comedy Central had the movement to give Clinton four more years back in 2000? Given the choices back then (or now, in a way), I'd be very interested to see how that would break down. |
Re: Bush or Kerry?
Yeah, the only reason I said that thing about Schwarzenegger was I had just read a CNN.com article poking fun at Nadar and the Arnold people. :)
I'd definitely have to think about your 22nd amendment offer... ;) |
