bush can even run again so i hope anybody would be better
It's not talking about George Bush, but his brother Jeb. Please read the article before commenting.
If Jeb Bush got elected..I would move to another country!!! I am not lying either. I couldn't take anyone remotly related to the current idiot. My vote(although no one cares) would be for Kerry. I thought he seemed like a pretty stand up guy for the most part. You know I really like Clinton...I mean who cares if he got head on the side...our country was in better shape with him than it is now right?
I completely completely agree with you about Jeb. I'd have to go to Australia, though, because I can't take the cold of Canada :D

I'd vote for McCain...if there weren't any good 3rd party candidates. God, I hate the major parties...

No one with sense about them would vote for Clinton. She avoids her senate duties and worries about her image more than anythin. She ahsn't formally renounced her vote on Iraq. But she has said it was not the smart thing to do.
Giuiliani on the other hand has actually shown good leadership and did not flinch in the face of opposition.
My favorite candidate (even though he is not going to run) id Joe Liberman. Though I do consider myself to be a Republican, I vote vote for him in an instnt because he is a man of his word, and he won on an independent ballot for the senate. So officially he is an indpendent. Democrats didn't want him on their ballots.
God gave you a brain. America gave you a vote. Use them togehter and wisely.
I'm pretty sure 29 is higher than 22 (The real number's 19).
And you never know. People can most certainly change their mind within the time period between a poll and election day.
