Election '08: Super Tuesday

[KukriKhan]

By November, there are likely to be a good percentage of folks like Xiahou who just don't like either of the major party candidates, or whatever local third-party guy managed to get on the ballot.

So: Is it time to consider a nationally-mandatory "None of the Above" line on all ballots?

What would happen if 'NotA' got more votes?

Doesn't Australia do that? How's it work?

Or should we all just do our duty, hold our noses, and vote for the least disagreeable?

My hatred of McCain is subsiding. I will vote for a Republican in the November election - but I must say; I usually bring my entire family, my girlfriends family, my friends and (most of) my coworkers with me when I vote (I am actually a very persuasive speaker in spite of my inability to convey my opinions in print). This time I don't have the passion. I just find it to be a shame that Mitt won't be in the White House - I believe that he would do tremendous good for us.

This change of opinion has not occurred because of hearing McCain, but because I swished it around in my mouth for a while and realized that, despite the taste, it was more swallow able than a Giuliani, Clinton or Obama.

My only real agendas for this term are:

-Lower taxes for Individuals and companies. Bigger tax breaks for companies that hire U.S. citizens predominantly. Incentives for technological innovation. Slash spending.

-Private health insurance for everybody with minimal to zero tax increase. Preferably on the State level with people encouraged to buy more and more comprehensive plans.

-A Strict constitutionalist judiciary (overturn Roe v Wade). Insightful and cautiously progressive legislature.

-Walk softly carry a big stick. Get our guns/butter ratio back in order. Stay in Iraq until they can stand on their own 2 feet.


That's pretty much it.

I will bet money that Xiahou votes G.O.P. in November...

Sorry, dude, but it all looks a bit fishy, especially two presidential campaigns in a row. Teh most libral person EVAR! Run! Run! Run!

It is quite funny that this line came out about Kerry 4 years ago, not that it makes it untrue just seems a bit of a coincidence
