2012 Election

[Maryginia]

I would vote for Mitt Romney and then I would vote Democrat in all other sections. Obama is incompetent.

your last sentance i agree with.

[Threlizdun]

The Peace and Freedom Party, but I'm too young to vote.

Plus the Peace and Freedom Party is only based in California. They're still pretty awesome though.

[Mosasauria]

I don't know.
Do the Communist or Socialist parties have any candidates?
If not, then probably Green party.
And if not that, Obama is still a solid choice.
Of course, my final decision is based on the potential capabilities and ideals of the individual candidate.

I know.

They really need to spread to other states.

Or maybe I'd just vote for the Greens.

The people are freaking about a mixed race male president, how do you think Cynthia Mckinney, bless her heart, would stand? If not her, then we'd have Nader, and one half of the country think he's a nutjob, while the other half are pissed at him for taking away votes from Gore in the 2000 election.

I honestly have no idea, and I'm pretty sure they won't win either. But I prefer them over the Dems and especially the Republicans.

[Kommengratz]

To begin, Im not a US citizen (canadian, and we had our own bittersweet election just recently), so Im only capable of commenting in the role of vaguely interested observer.

In realistic terms, the 2012 election will be Obama vs. Some Republican, unless anything extremely drastic and unlikely happens in the next 15 months. Which Republican faces off against Obama is the most important thing. Im going to make the guess that it would be Romney, which would be ideal seeing as it would be an election of two nearly identical candidates. Gingrich freaks me out (sorry to say, fellow Sickle and Hammer enthusiast). The fact that he said Obama's healthcare plan (which was the weakest and most diluted thing ever) would lead the US into tyranny and totalitarianism, as well as the fact that he jumped on that whole "Ground Zero Mosque" farce just proves that he is merely the most literate of the Republican Whackos. He also wants to bring Religion back into a more central place in the US public sphere. So, Im sorry, but the fact that he wants to put people on Mars with spaceships sporting Nike Swooshes and Golden Arches counts for very little for me.

He isnt of course the worst of all options. Palin or Bachman would be horrifying Presidents that, if elected, may give some credence to that whole 2012 apocalypse nonsense. The only silver lining here is that, should they win, the daily show would be so much better than it is now. In this case, either candidate is insane enough to ensure Obama a victory, so Im not too too worried.

So basically, I think that it will likely come down to Romney v. Obama. Of the two, I would prefer Obama, but if Romney wins, it wouldnt make that big a difference anyway. He is far too pragmatic to touch social issues (gay marriage, Abortion, and the like), so none of that enters my equation. Romneys victory would just make being poor in the US suck slightly more than it does under Obama.

At least neither are Bush. Im getting the feeling that everyone is so caught up in the whole "Obama isnt the Superman we were promised" wagon that they have forgotten how shitty a president his predecessor was.

[Liberata Terra]

I'm voting for Stewart Alexander, he's trying to get the nomination from the Peace and Freedom Party and the Socialist Party USA

[Episarta]

Most of the GOP are a bunch of insane evangelicals, and most of the democrats fuck shit up by trying to "compromise" and "play nice". They should know by now that the GOP doesn't play nice. When you're down, they will kick you in the balls...twice. So maybe this year a third party might have somewhat of a chance? If any, I would like the Green Party or maybe the Socialists.

Not having health insurance doesn't kill people. Cancer kills people, AIDS kills people, collisions kill people. Health Insurance just exacerbates the financial problems that can accompany ailments/injuries.

Other candidits

Communist Party
Probobly wont win but if every socialist that was voting for the democrats voted for the real communists It might get 3rd of the votes
Has great enviromental plan.Lots of workers right.Universal health care.Drive economic Growth

And taking, in your estimation, a third of the votes (which I think is rather high) away from the Democrats would ensure Republican victory election after election after election.

Green party
It got a seat in Canada.Why not the us.
Not only will it lower emmissions it will make millions in jobs from solar installation. Wind turbine mantinece
ect.Fair Trade.

Many States have strong and influential Green Party organizations, and their endorsement is often sought.

Democratic socialist Party USA

Do you mean DSA or SPUSA?

Both are plagued by poor management and unwise use of funds as well as a general inability to fundraise successfully.

[Greater Tezdrian]

It depends on the size National Federalist Party by then, and whether they field a candidate. Other than that, no one.

[-St George]

Vote Sibirsky/Buffet and Colbert Ticket.

Not having insurence does kill because you cant pay for the life saving treatment

[Serrland]

Not having insurence does kill because you cant pay for the life saving treatment

In which case you're getting killed by the thing requiring the treatment in the first place.

[Archnar]

But if you combine the people who voted for the communists and the democrats they would have far more power than republicans
Rupublicans couldnt get anything through congress.and Communist/Rupublicans would still have most of the power.

[Archnar]

OK technecnecly yes but 1000s dieing of perfectly cureable illnesses is still a problem especialy when there is an alternative

[H-Alba]

I'm voting for Stewart Alexander, he's trying to get the nomination from the Peace and Freedom Party and the Socialist Party USA

Stewart Alexander withdrew a few days ago, he's no longer running.

[H-Alba]

I don't know.
Do the Communist or Socialist parties have any candidates?
If not, then probably Green party.
And if not that, Obama is still a solid choice.
Of course, my final decision is based on the potential capabilities and ideals of the individual candidate.

The Communist Party of America never has a candidate, they say to vote Republican or Socialist. (That's what my friend told me at least), right now there isn't a candidate even if that isn't true.

Stewart Alexander was running for the Socialist and Green Parties, but he withdrew a few days ago. Kent Mesplay is running for the Green Party.

[Greater Cabinda]

I would vote for Mitt Romney

Dear god. Do you realize what damage someone like that could do to our country?

[Tuskenjaar]

I would vote for Sir David Duke, he has the sense of nationalism that we need at this point. His past doesn't matter, because his platform to cut immigration at the source, stop donations to other countries, and getting the troops out of Iraq and Afghanistan and into Libya sees solid to me.
