Well, we need to fight about something.
I voted for him. I might even do so again.

Who in here voted for Bush?
- Thread starter ummbikes
- Start date
So this stupid Iraq thing is all your fault?
Haven't you already done enough...
I did and will again unless someone better...or less evil comes along. I don't vote along party lines - I vote solely based on the individual candidate and how that candidate is likely to represent me...the almighty voter. 
So, the best representation of you is a lying, cowardly idiot?Originally posted by bikeCOLORADO

Muhahaha!
I have only just begun!
I really didn't vote for Bush. I'm a Libertarian. I voted for Harry Browne.
I think Republicans are just grouchier versions of Democrats.
This warms my heart in so many ways.
I've always been suspicious of George and his intentions / motivations. I voted for Gore but with no real conviction at all - I don't think either candidate was very appealing. We'll live through Bush and probably forget him but I hope we learned something from the Florida dealio. I still think there was some dirty cards being dealt down there. To me James Baker the 3rd is evil personified.
In voted for Perot the first time... now wouldn't that have been an amusing administration???
Although I beleive you are joking I feel that a large percentage of people feel and vote this way. Not about war but they vote for whoever makes for the best TV. Sad reallyOriginally posted by LordOpie
I'll vote for Bush next time only if he starts another war soon.
Rumsfeld = awesome TV !!!
My ideas lean a little to the right but Bush scares the hell out of me. In reality he is a dumbass extreme conservative who is smart enough to agree with some liberal ideology to create a popular image that provides him with enough power to fulfill his far right agenda.
His support for a prescription drug plan was done merely for votes. The elderly hold a large percentage of the population and vote heavily. His support of AIDS in Africa again is a way of making himself seem more moderate. Few reports expose the likelyhood that this policy will support conservative christian views on birth control rather than rational policies on the prevention of disease.
I did not vote for Bush last time, nor will I again. Last election I voted Libertarian. I would have voted for McCain if the crappy two party system had not prevented him from running in the general election. Next election I will vote third party again unless a decent Democratic candidate emerges, which is highly unlikely.
All Bush has shown me is that I will never ever vote for a fundamentalist Christian ever, for any position, even if it's fvcking kindergarten class president. Now, before you think I'm bashing Christians, sure, I am. I also won't vote for a fundamentalist Muslim, or a fundamentalist Jew either. I don't like it when politicians get to appeal to their imaginary friend for justification for thier actions.
I can't vote yet though, not a citizen.

Where are you from? Sorry if you have already posted, I'm just curious.
Up north. I married an American.
A Canadian! You guys minus all the socialism are darn tootin' libretarians.
I keep whipping this dead horse. The electoral college has eliminated my ability to cast a vote that counts. Living in Idaho, Im virtually guaranteed that the republican candidate will take the state (and the electoral vote). I only vote in the Presidential race to raise havoc i.e. Nader. Pretty immature way to cast a ballot, but Im only pretending to have a vote anyhow.
I can respect that. Both mainstream parties have polled, advertised and becoming so obliged to special interest groups that there is no clearly defined party identity IMHO. They posture and give forceful sound bites, but when it all comes out in policy and legislation it is pretty much a camel labeled as a quarter horse.Originally posted by ummbikes

Ya it's pretty ironic when we swell up with self rightous anger at these one party governments of the world when we are basicly the same. The only difference is we are pretty fortunate to live in a mostly free society. I would love to see more noise from the Greens (who I don't agree with) and the Libratarians (who I do agree with) and heck even the Socialists (who seem to forget their economic model has never worked) just to push some Republicans back to being conservative and some Democrats back to being liberal.
Here is my sarcastic take on a meeting between a Democrat and Republican.
Dem. Well we just have to take care of our people it's our duty.
Repub. There are free market solutions to all problems.
Dem. No there isn't.
Repub. Yes three are.
News Flash. Megasuper Corp to close.
Dem and Repub. Oh no lets give them a big pile of money to stay in business!
Both parties pander to big business and maybe they are correct in doing so, maybe not.
At any rate it is a interesting form of government for sure.
Oh, I'll be getting my $800 child tax credit check in two weeks! GO Shrub!
What to do? What to do?
DUH! Bike parts...

Ya I feel that. One problem. We need a new matress as our $200 one we bought 8 years ago seems to be killing us slowly as we sleep. Plus my Trooper needs about $300 worth of new sensors to make it run right. So I'll be waiting a while for upgrades...
Maybe if I am particularly good I can get some some new cycling shoes and a bearing kit for my clipless pedal.
Ouch! I hear all that and blame the republicans... bastards!
My truck sucked up nearly $1,000.00 this weekend, mapp sensor, coil, thottlebody air bypass sensor, belt, tune-up, right ball joint... looks like it's good to go on the shuttle though - getting the brakes serviced today.
EDIT: Whahahahahahahah you said clipless!!! :devil:

I usually vote for the lesser evil. Last time I voted for Gore, Bush was easily more evil. Next time around I think Bush has cornered the Evil thing again. Also about this tax credit crap, $400 a child barely adds up to little more than a dollar a day for your kid. The government acts like it's giving us a load of cash. I'd rather give the extra dollar a day to my kids teacher, they don't get paid enough.
The evil of two lessers :evil:
As I much as I despise Bush, I have to point out that you can STILL give your kids teacher that $400, now that it's sitting in your pocket.
The problem is you probably won't. And the parents of all the other kids CERTAINLY won't. We're not a particularly charitable or philanthropic society.
Unfortunately your right, we are not really a giving society. It's like having teachers working for Tips. As other posters have said, something else always comes up that needs your extra cash like car repairs etc... I would just rather the tax money we do pay go to a good use. To me the most patriotic thing you can do to support your country is pay your taxes to keep it running.
They're all puppets of the Illuminati anyway, so it really doesn't matter.Originally posted by bikeCOLORADO

I didn't vote for him, don't blame me....anyway it doesn't matter who you vote for the government always gets in 
Actually here in Japan, I'm pretty p*ssed off, I mean I pay all these taxes just like all the other Japanese but I don't get a say in how they are administered. I mean it really sucks and I wanna do something about it so I've come up with a slogan "no taxation without representation" ........???????..... So whaddya all think....is it a goer??????? Will it get people out in the streets?

I think you should sue the Continental Congress for plagerism, too.
What???? You mean it's been done before? Who, when, what, why and where. How did it turn out in the end? Details please....Originally posted by llkoolkeg

The new Washington, DC license plates have "Taxation Without Representation" on them.

voting is overrated

LOL!!!
Great thread....must....bump

I bet all you Bush haters that live in California voted for a great guy like Gray Davis right.........HA, is arse is gone!
This stupid Iraq thing is everyones fault!
As long as you rely on petroleum derivatives, you continue support the war.
WOW!
I voted without enthusiasm for Gore, watched in horror as the Republicans stole the election, and with disgust as people wasted third-party votes on candidates who did not stand a chance. I decided that, with all that, the system actually worked - we do not currently suffer juntas.
Third parties could win eventually if they first got a solid enough base in the legislature, but until that happens, third party presidential votes are simply destructive.
For the upcoming exercise, having lived here during Dean's administration, he's my current favorite. He's a real person and does not pander excessively to the press or special interests. Kerry's little Vietnam "accident" does not fill me with enthusiasm, and Lieberman, well, no way.

Of the crop of Democrats, Dean is probably the best and could possibly get my vote. Kerry lost me when he voted to give the war powers to Bush and also voted for the "Patriot" Act, then turned around and started crying about the way the Bush Regime was using them. Kucinich voted against both of those pieces of legislation. Lieberman? Nope can't get excited about him.
Wouldn't it be a kick if all of a sudden another Republican announced? I mean after last week's embarrassingly poor excuse of a press conference, couldn't they find someone who had a clue about what is going on?
The Cheese
...but given the option of bush or a late-night spin on my XC bike, I voted for bush.
I voted for Bush. Not sure who I will vote for in 2004 though.
Well, I live in florida, and I was in L.A. that day, And I totally forgot to get a absentee ballot.
