Political Candidate Of Choice

Posted by Peach 00 , Dec 23 2011 · 177 views

As the blog rules say, it's perfectly fine to say who you support in the political race. If I could vote, I'd vote for Newt Gingrich. As I can't vote, I'd still say Newt Gingrich. =P

Plus, let's keep this at least civil, guys. You know the rules.

I don't even know who to vote for because they all suck.

If I vote, I'll probably vote for Obama. I haven't been too satisfied with the way he's done things so far, but when it comes to values and beliefs I'd take him over any of the competition.

Just consider each candidate's position on things and think which might fix things best, honestly.

Not trying to argue, but honestly, values and beliefs aren't going to help resolve the issues. Again, not trying to argue (and not overstep the boundaries, might I mention), but maybe that's just me. =/

If Rick Perry goes down I don't know who I'll vote for, not happy with any of the other popular candidates.

I say Rick Perry. I agree with almost all of his stances, AND the Texas economy is A LOT better than other states. Maybe he can fix the rest of it.

I'm in agreement with Laughin'Man.

Aw, crud.
I just realized I'll be old enough vote next election. Now I can't use that as an excuse not to pay attention to politics.

In terms of 'popular' candidates, who are you referring to? Just a question, because I do believe that in that club ar probably Ron Paul and Mitt Romney. Romney isn't too bad, but he sadly won't beat Obama. And Perry is okay, but his image deteriorated slightly when he started arguing with Romney. =/

That does have some truth to it, but it depends on different issues besides just the economy. I could name a few, but you probably already know which issues I'm talking about.

I'm in agreement with Laughin'Man.

You can read my post for my answer, lol.

Basic thing about politics: Whatever happens to the country depending on the president's judgement can really determine what your future's going to be like, considering the state of the country at the moment. It really can affect what jobs you'll be getting and stuff like that, honestly. =/

I still say Stewart/Colbert.

Wut?

Lol, yeah... I still like Perry's stance on the other issues, xD.
I'm not much of a Grinch fan, but maybe he'll impress me at the next debate(if there is one).

Well, he's right on most issues, but when he says things, he trips over his words, sadly.

And Gingrich is a good candidate, I'd say attempt to listen to him at the next debate or interviews you see him in. I wish Cain didn't have to drop out, but politics is a dirty game to play in. =/

When you don't particularly like any of the candidates overall, it makes more sense to just vote for the one who shares your values, beliefs, and ideals.

And regardless, values and beliefs are certainly important. A politician's choices reflect his or her values and beliefs. Politics in general are based on values and beliefs.

How they choose to resolve the issues (or whether they do at all) is directly related to their values and beliefs.

I support Mitt Romney, he's a truthful & loyal man and a very good business leader.

Edit: But I also like Ron Paul for standing like a rock on his values and beliefs, even if I don't agree.

Yeah, but he has a good record. Like the economy in Texas, not backing down, and.. umm... the economy in Texas, the.... um... oops.

Well, it depends on what you consider it takes. And even though values and beliefs are important, it isn't as important as fixing the issues. Values aren't always related to the view of a politician. And yes, there are several candidates who are going to resolve the issues, some politicians just talk about fixing it yet don't get the job done, and to me, that's Obama, but I'm not going to step any further and let this get any more heated than it already has.

Still, we both have different opinions. Since politics is a more forbidden subject on here, I don't want to get both of us in trouble, so I'll end it here: Values can't always fix the problems, and even though they are important in some political areas, they can't fix what needs to be repaired. But hey, let's just leave it at that and at least shake hands and forget about it, to avoid arguing further.

I support Mitt Romney, he's a truthful & loyal man and a very good business leader.

Edit: But I also like Ron Paul for standing like a rock on his values and beliefs, even if I don't agree.

Romney isn't too bad, but Ron Paul I'm not at all a fan of, honestly. No offense to anybody, but I just dislike him. =/

Yeah, he probably does - and, nice joke there. xD
