Bush or Kerry...Who would win if pixies was the universe (well america)?
 
Just a simple poll to see if we can predict the winner of the presidential race.

Please everyone vote american, brit, aussies, kiwis whomever...

BIGbad 10-20-2004 10:13 PM

A little something to remind you of the candidates

Bush or Kerry?

DC

Mercury_Maniac 10-20-2004 10:15 PM

i don't think it really matters, nothing really changes at all really, except taxes keep getting higher,


but i think, but i'm unsure of who i'm voting for, but i think that Kerry will win it

Loulabelle 10-21-2004 02:45 AM

I think the general consensus on this side of the pond is, 'Anyone but Bush'.

I just wish we got to vote, because with Tony B Liar the way he is, whoever runs America is also running Britain, so it's more relevant to us, than you know!

hun, for the american military it matters alot, i know if u aint mil that dont affeft u directly but it affects me , if kerry wins we will more than likly not get a pay raise this year and if we do itll be crap, also i belive there will be even more budget cuts to the military made by kerry than neone knows, just a general thing hes not pro military like bush is, bush has done a few cuts but not near as many that cud be doen , do im on the edge of my seat w this election wondering if kerry wins if we will still have a job.im not aware if the military thing has been covered at any debates bc i dont get them over here, but i do know hes democrat and they dont like us.

Nikki...there are tons of millitary democrats and Kerry said in debate 2 and 3 he will add new permanent troop divisions (since you missed them).

jseal 10-21-2004 07:14 AM

...and politicians ALWAYS keep their promises! :rolleyes:

Belial 10-21-2004 07:21 AM

They also do things they did not promise to do.

Cindy Kim 10-21-2004 07:30 AM

I've come to hate politics with a passion. None of them have my trust. The only dilemma for me is that I feel it's my duty to vote, but there really isn't anyone I want to vote for. It's a tremendously negative feeling voting AGAINST someone - I would love to be inspired enough to vote FOR someone. Maybe I'll just write-in Lilith. How much would she hate me if she won?

It's a tough job. One with a lot of serious responsibility.


She's gonna need some good people under her. :D

Nikki I found this since you did not get to see them

Can you imagine what I'd do to my interns????? The White House would have cams set up in the Lincoln bedroom :p

BIGbad,

I just followed your links, and enjoyed them all over again! They're great! Thank you.

I cannot see any fun loving,peace loving,sex positive pixie voting for the antithesis of all that concerns us.I'm voting the Kerry-Edwards ticket,but I am also voting...ABB. The man has got to go..Another 4 years is unthinkable.

the more things change, the more they stay the same



thats what i think anyway

dicksbro 10-21-2004 04:39 PM

Said it somewhere else ... the worst thing about elections (especially national) ...

... you always end up with a politician in office.

Scarecrow 10-21-2004 04:58 PM

how to pick the lesser of two evils???


At least Hanoi Jane apologized.

smithy020 10-21-2004 05:04 PM

well nader is not a opition so is kerry the less of the pair of evil? well for the safety of the world i hope its kerry

Kendall 10-21-2004 06:25 PM

I suspect this Pixies group is not representative of the national average based on the lopsidedness of the results that I just observed. This result is revealing. I think it suggests that the majority of Pixies haven't been duped (are more informed than the average).

BIGbad 10-21-2004 09:15 PM

What a very surprising vote (well so far), it appears as though pixies’ is skewed to the liberal side. Well go figure I never expected that :rolleyes:

It does seem to be the choice between dumb and dumber, I too long for a leader that can lead.

Jseal - I enjoy them at least once a week, I am glad that you could as well.

BIGbad 10-22-2004 07:49 PM

The polls are still open!

We can surely muster up more than 34 voters. :(

jseal 10-22-2004 09:26 PM

BIGbad,

That can be a problem sometimes.

Mae 10-22-2004 10:39 PM

Lilith...Tim Curry in "IT" gave me the willies. Whew! As for voting...for some reason, Bill Clinton comes to mind.

joe_someguy 10-22-2004 10:52 PM

I'm totally with Nikki on this one! I'm military too, so this really affects us a LOT! I'm not the biggest supporter of Bush's policies or his public persona, but I can't imagine what would have happened to us in the past couple of years if Kerry had been in the White House. It's easy to say and do what you think the people want you to say and do so that you'll get voted in, but we need a leader...someone that's not afraid to do the hard jobs, make the tough calls, and stand behind the people that are making the sacrifices that allow us to live in a relatively free society. And anyway, who wants to vote for stem cell research? That's just way too scary for me. Enough of my soap box, though...how about the Astros!

thanks for agreeing with me :D:D:D:D, tho i wish bush was for stem cell research , i wont debate it cuz i dont know enough about it to debate it but i do belive (imho) that its extremly benificial and could help out loads of ppl , im pro bush BUT i think his two main flaws are the research and anit same sex marrages, but mostpoliticians are ,

dick 10-23-2004 06:23 AM

My perspective is 22 years in the military and a vietnam vet. I'm with Nikki on this too. Kerry is a lying, self-serving traitor. At least Jane Fonda appologized, Kerry never did.

Joe

PalaceGuard 10-23-2004 11:00 AM

Both Bush and Kerry don't excite me. I voted for Nader last time, and I think I'll do it again.

Joe



what should kerry apologize for?....for volunteering to go to war and serving his country honarably?...the republican spin machine has twisted it so that even though bush got out of vietnam the country has turned on kerry who has a great war record while bush does not even have one

Summer 10-23-2004 02:49 PM

During the next Presidential term, the President will be appointing as many as 3 new U.S. Supreme Justices. Whoever is put on that court can serve until they die!! This was my wake up call. Things like Roe vs. Wade, same sex marriages, keeping church and state seperate (just to name a few).

I have a daughter and could have a granddaughter years down the road and I personally don't feel I should be able to make laws over their bodies! In the early 1990's I went to Washington, D.C. and voiced my opinion about this and now I will voice my opinion again through my vote. My 2 cents!!

I voted Nader last year too. I won't be doing that again because unfortunately I "now" view it as a vote for Bush.

Irish 10-23-2004 03:49 PM

I haven't been posting lately,but everyone has a code that they live by.I,
seriously,don't think that people realise the intense dislike,that VN vets,feel
for the way,that THEY feel that John Kerry stabbed them in the back.To use
his words,"Bands of Brothers" don't do that.Right or Wrong,in his feelings.I was
discharged in 1965,long before he served.As a 10% disabled vet,I will NEVER
forgive him!These are my personal feelings,& I don't care about debating,if
things were done right or wrong.There is NO way that I could vote for Kerry &
as far as I'm concerned,it's ABK(Anything but Kerry)I realise that everyone has,very, strong feelings about this.These are mine.I'm 60 yrs old.I have lived in Conn(south of Mass) & New Hampshire(north of Mass)& in 20 yrs as a senator,I have not seen him contribute anything.I have a plan,also.It's called
ABK! Irish

Sharni 10-23-2004 04:05 PM

Irish *hugz*

I've been wondering where ya been!!

Scarecrow 10-23-2004 04:23 PM

ABK

Irish 10-23-2004 05:10 PM

Sharni---I doubt if I'll start posting again,I just felt so strongly about this,that
I had to express my opinion.It may not be right or wrong,but it's the way that I feel.I'm not saying that anyone is wrong,but I had to express my feelings.I've been trying to avoid disagreements,but MANY,in my generation,
feel the same way.When you put your pants on in the morning,& look at that
scar,you don't need someone else,telling you that you were wrong.As some-
one,who has been,in the motorcycle livestyle,for over 45yrs,I've had enough
bad things,blamed on me.(us) Irish

Summer - I can see how you would play it safe this time, being from Florida. My state is considered "safe" by both parties. Not many campaign stops here, I can tell you. Since I dont have to worry about the possibility that Nader will actually change the outcome of the election in my state, I'm free to vote my concience.

Good luck!

Scarecrow 10-24-2004 12:43 PM

They will not let Nader on the ballot in Illinois.
Said he filed to late.
