No one.

I refuse to vote.

If you vote, you've got no room to complain. Yeah some people try to twist that around, 'If you didn't vote, you have no room to complain,' but look at it this way: if you voted, you put our current president into office. You're part of the problem. You brought this upon yourself. Your fault. Me on the other hand stayed home while you elected a retard and jacked off. Except at the end of the day I have a smile on my face.

The electoral college picks the president, not you. So you have the right to complain either way.

Obama is my personal choice, and I would vote for him if my birthday wasn't only a few months after the general election =(. I'm already registered too...I just need to be 18.

Its a shame George Carlin is gone. I will miss nuggets of wisdom like this.

right now I am supporting McCain, but I really do not know enough about him to guarantee my vote. At this point, we really don't know a lot about where the candidates stand or what they will do, so in the next few months hopefully people will be more informed about each candidate's actual stances. But I can tell you for sure that I am not voting Obama! I do know enough about him to make an informed decision.

Probably McCain. Obama is a big major no no for me.

I'm pretty iffy about McCain because I don't agree with him on a few issues, but he's ok I guess. If Romney ends up being his VP I'd probably vote for him.

While Obama knows how to be inspirational, I just have this feeling that it's the only reason why people like him in the first place. Besides having a liberal standpoint, which some people probably only like because it's the opposite of Bush. :/
He's a very charismatic and charming candidate, which is refreshing after 200 years of old white guys, but that's all I really like about him. I think he has really great ideals but that's what they are: ideals. I don't think they could be put into practice with his little experience.

I guess I'm voting for Obama, since I agree with his policies more than the other candidates. BBut with the electoral college I find it really hard to care since I don't live in a swing state.

I think I am putting Ron Paul on my ballot! At least I put my vote in someone I trust.

Not that it matters, the elite have already chosen.

lol Ron Paul is a little crazy.
Kinda like Howard Dean, only Ron doesn't yell as much.

McCain... As long as he picks a good running mate. Otherwise, we're screwed either way.

I think we have different opinions on who would be a better running mate (according to what you said in your other topic) but as a general statement I completely agree with that.

I don't consider any to be qualified for my vote for the presidency.

And thank goodness I have a legit excuse not to vote: I'm 3 months too young! So for the next 4 years I can bitch and complain without the weight of knowing I voted for a dumbass in the first place!

I am not sure if McCain is the right man (I like him right now and his policies) but Obama is just nuts! I am not calling those of you who want to vote for him crazy, but I am calling calling him crazy. He is the most liberal senator right now and he is basically calling for so many levels of socialism. That's not what we are! We are capitalists, we are a democracy. Government is already so big, and I don't want Obama to make it any bigger!
