Vote!
 

So is anyone 18+ and registered (and American) hitting the booths? I hope so:nahnah:

Why?

1. Gives you complaint rights if the person you didn't want to be president ends up becoming president.

2. More Americans have voted for American Idol than president :urweird:

HAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!

why is voting on a tuesday =/

lmao @ #2

Why on a Tuesday? Well, y'see, back in the early days...when...um...y'see...it's...LOOK A PUPPY!

LOL!!!!!!!!!!

it is always a tuesday? Like ours are always on a Saturday...

It was like attack of the campaign signs @_@

Oh.. they farm on weekends?

Thanks Loki!

And why not? =.=

So... not voting solves that problem?

great logic.

No, you vote for Nader.

Not like the United States voting system is fair anyways. We're still on a system that elects individuals of supposed "higher" intelligence to cast our votes for us, even though it is clearly obvious that all politicians have low IQs.

lol

if people have higher IQ they wouldnt be politicians...:ninja:

I'm looking at the Yahoo political dashboard or something, and I can't make head or tail of it. What's electoral votes, and what's popular votes? What counts towards victory?

Oh I actually know this answer :laugh:

Nevermind:cries:

Electoral college decides the winner. Electoral college is how many votes each state has to determine the Presidency. The electoral college is based on population percentages for each state. So a large populace state like California counts more than Indiana.

I personally believe that this way is outdated but Ehhh I dislike politicians any way.

So I only have to care about the electoral votes?

Electoral votes system = fail, imo.

Yeah, we have it in India too, it's pretty stupid.

Obama won!

Barack 'n roll!

Yep, the first Tuesday of November.

Indeed.

Now we have someone who knows literally nothing about the military as the head of the military. Reduction of weaponry? Good one. In the age where weapons become ever more sophisticated, we will have a secondhand weapon system to defend us. I will admit that he has some good changes in mind, but one key McCain ad still rings true:

Barack Obama has little experience.

It's a fact, don't even bother to decry it. And no, I am not a McCain supporter.

Well... you vote to keep the bad parties out.. so.. even though one of them "won" i guess it doesnt really mean he's the "best" but he should be a "better" choice out of the two.........

won't he have a fair amount of advisors beside him to cover for lack of experience?

apparently McCain's advisor lady is awful.... LOL!

And what would that be...

The President may be the Commander in Chief, but really. When was the last time the President was actually the Commander in Chief...? Washington? Jackson? No president governs alone.

I don't like what this country has become :P

The Commander in Chief does not necessarily have to listen to his advisers.

Therein lies the fear. The possibility remains that he may not like what his advisers say, and proceed with some unknown agenda that may cause devastating military strategic losses.

The equivalent is like handing a non-gamer a game like Command and Conquer/StarCraft, and asking he or she to conserve the most resources, eliminate the opposition, all the while trying to minimize the loss of life.

Whereas the examples I draw upon are imprecise, they nevertheless are sufficient enough to explain what I fear.

It is also duly noted that Obama proposes quite a bit of "change," including reduction of taxes. Therefore, I have but one question: Where will that money come from? Funding will still have to come from somewhere.

If you have a pro sitting along side with the non-gamer, teaching him how to play the game.. as long as the non-gamer is smart and is willing to accept help... He may turn out to be a decent gamer...

Yeah we've had tax cuts too... so we're richer, so we spend more and pay tax on our expenses.... on a very simplified version of things


and i'm sure Obama's advisers would be better than that lady who's suppose to be advisor for McCain? LOL!!

As opposed to the wonderful job of the commander in chief we've had the past eight years or so? The policies of which John McCain supported? Yeah, we would be much better off with a hawk in office.

That's what we've had the last eight years. And I don't even necessarily mean militarily.

Scientifically, the Bush administration has outrageously suppressed information. Don't agree with the policy? Fine. But at least let the evidence stand for itself.

And let's not forget his Karl Rove and the firing of U.S. Attorneys that the administration didn't like.

Aw, well you could have voted McKinney if you were 18. Woot, yay Green Party. Pro-Earth. Let's save the planet. Yay~ -forms a drum circle-

Seriously? And yet you seem upset about 8 passing? Are you aware of how anti-gay marriage McCain is?

And yes, the Electoral College is crap.

To be honest, both candidates explicitly stated that they opposed gay marriage.
