Dem. Primary
 
I know we have a large split of politics here, and dont want a huge debate, just curious who people (dem's) are liking in this primary. I have my beliefs, and like qualities in all the canidates, and havent completly made up my mind, but I'll vote anyways..
This is completly for my own curiosity, and I think we can discuss it, but I'm keeping my selection private...

I see Mr. (and I use that term extremely loosely) Kerry is leading so far.

Looks like the "Baaaaa...." syndrome........:p :smash: ;)

"Sheep to the Slaughter
Oh and I thought this must be love.....
All your sons and daughters
In a stranglehold with a kid glove.......

The sport of kings, the old queen's heart
The prince in darkness stole some tart
And it's in the papers, it's in the charts
It's in the.....stop press before it all starts"

Fishpart 02-10-2004 01:17 PM

Sorry, can't vote in the primary..................

RIROCKHOUND 02-10-2004 01:24 PM

FP, if your a registered Repub, I guess choice 5 should work for ya :D

If your an independent (I was for a while) it's all good....

OK, chew me out like my 14 year old does on this, but I have no interest whatsoever in politics as far as elections and I don't see why people put so much hype and pressure on me to vote when I don't honestly know the candidates, I don't believe in just voting for the party, and I don't get turned on when half of it is the childish mud slinging that goes on before the election. I'll support or oppose specific issues, but the whole election process just sours me. That being said, at this point, Kerry seems to be the most normal of the bunch.

fishweewee 02-10-2004 01:55 PM

John Kerry is an enemy of freedom. :af:

Jimbo 02-10-2004 02:28 PM

Oh then just screw it, and throw me in with the hippies.

Fishpart 02-10-2004 02:56 PM

Didn't want to have a party affiliation whne I registered. I tend to vote for the candidate based on how they go with my views.

I tend to side against incumbents as I am not a fan of career politicians or the politcal machine...........................

fishweewee 02-10-2004 04:15 PM

Why is Dean showing so badly in this poll?

Is it b/c you guys are more familiar with Kerry?

Is it because of Dean's volatility?

Is it because Dean is further to the left than Kerry ideologically?

I'm only asking because his campaign had a lot of buzz at the beginning, now it looks like it's petering out.

johnwade 02-10-2004 04:20 PM

God I'm bored! I need a new job.
Terry McCaullife put the kibosh on Howard Dean! I'll put good money he puts a whammy on Kerry around mid October!

STEVE IN MASS 02-10-2004 04:50 PM

FWW.....Need I say it again?

"Baaaaaaaa......"

RIROCKHOUND 02-10-2004 05:34 PM

Easy Steve.... I definetly am not a sheep... Besides, at least we have choices in our party this year....

Ben,
Early in the game, I liked Dean, his views on Iraq are similar to my own beliefs, however he lacks the experience to have any successful foreign policy, if he had a bit of varied experience (ie. a senator or congress, as well as Gov.) it may be different..

Edwards is charismatic, but I dont see him as a successful president, maybe in 10 years with a bit more experience..?

Clark, seems like a decent guy, liked him early, but never had strong leanings towards him; again he lacks any experience in a political office...you could do worse for VP than Wes... (read Danny Q)

Kerry is closer to the middle of the road, where I lean on a bunch of issues, his views on health care and such are in line with mine....
how he handles the gay marriage issue (Unfortunetly this will be a HUGE issue in the upcoming elecetion if Kerry gets the nod) and the continuing war will be interesting..
IMHO, it's gonna be alot closer than originally thought come Nov....

FYI I picked Kerry in this, but it is not set in stone....

Its soo confusing:huh:
Havn't made up my mind yet, but whoever is chosen will get my vote...
I'm not too fond of Bush.:(

RIROCKHOUND 02-10-2004 05:49 PM

Papa Eben,
thats the bottom line, I dont think Bush is doing a good job and want him out... For a long time I was a registered (I), but GWB made me go Fully to the (D)....

beachwalker 02-10-2004 06:21 PM

IMO Kerry isn't posturing like most candidates do. He is addressing issues in an honest manner.

He doesn't have my vote (yet).

Interesting Primary.

Great thread 'hound ! :)

Kerry doesn't have an honest bone in his body. You see him bird hunting?? Trying to get the southern and IRA voters?? He is the largest supporter of gun control going. Talk about two faced. Typical politics.

CustomMarineProducts 02-10-2004 10:41 PM

One more thing, I see my cousin the interplanetaryangler is here. To be warned, there are more of us. Remember Demacrates taste like chicken:alien: :alien:

RIROCKHOUND 02-10-2004 11:21 PM

Pete,
Got your email, I'll keep you posted... I'm working on it...
