Who Are You Voting For???

[ChicagoPastor]

It will be confidential...
Who are you voting for as the next President of the United States???

[Cindy]

It will be very confidential. I don't even tell my husband who I vote for.

[Praxeas]

We don't even know who the candidates will be yet, but judging from the crop of prospective candidates so far I think Im gonna write in *********************for president

[ChicagoPastor]

We don't even know who the candidates will be yet, but judging from the crop of prospective candidates so far I think Im gonna write in [you] for president

is the "insert everyone's name" thing like your toy or something?

[Sister Truth Seeker]

I don't know yet who I am voting for.......I know it will NOT be a democrat

[SoCaliUPC]

All this secrecy and all....sheesh!!! LOL!!!

I am voting for Mitt Romney in the California Primary on February 5th.

[Walkbyfaith7]

It will be very confidential. I don't even tell my husband who I vote for.

lol that is weird! Are not you to one flesh?

[Cindy]

No to me voting is private and personal. We do discuss some things about candidates before and after voting. He tells me who he is voting for...........lol

[Hoovie]

It will be very confidential. I don't even tell my husband who I vote for.

Is this tactic working quite well in influencing other voters?? :toofunny:stirpot

[Hoovie]

All this secrecy and all....sheesh!!! LOL!!!

I am voting for Mitt Romney in the California Primary on February 5th.

I can't get over this...
"… [W]hen asked, will I preserve and protect a women’s right to choose, I make an unequivocal answer: Yes". - Mitt Romney while running for Governor of MA. I do think he has nice hair though.


I could possibly vote for Mitt, but am currently favoring Huck. In fact My choices are in this order

Paul
Thomson
Huckabee
Romney

It does not appear the first two are going anywhere in this election.

[Cindy]

Is this tactic working quite well in influencing other voters?? :toofunny:stirpot

Haha, we live in TX. And look who we had for a govenor and now president. Too much influence sometimes.

Not saying I voted for him or not, just kind of funny that someone else cares who I will vote for.

I don't know about where y'all vote but here you vote in a little booth thingy and no one else can see what you are doing.

Does anyone here tell their spouse who to vote for? If so, why? And if you do do they do it?
:stirpot

[ChicagoPastor]

im not being funny, just curious....

what would be wrong with voting in a democrat?

[Pragmatist]

im not being funny, just curious....

what would be wrong with voting in a democrat?

If you watched the debates last night, you would know that answer. :)

[Pragmatist]

And I don't know who I'm voting for yet. I was leaning toward Huckabee, but last night he seemed kind of overmatched in terms of knowledge by Romney and Giuliani. I'm struggling to get past Giuliani's personal life issues and Romney just seems a little too polished to me.

[Rudy]

Vote for what?

[MissBrattified]

lol that is weird! Are not you to one flesh?

I let my husband know who I vote for (if he's interested), but we don't always vote exactly alike. Being one flesh does not mean we have to be mirror images. :)

[augustianian]

In the primary probably Mike Huckabee. In the election in November, Guiliani.

I think that the surge by Huckabee will be short-lived as also the surge by Obama.

It will be Guiliani vs HillBill in November. Can't wait for those debates.

:stirpot

No but I honestly couldn't imagine my wife and I voting for a different president. We are in fact, one flesh, same morals and political guidelines.

Confidential? I think everyone should stand up for what they believe in.
Whether it's voting for the president or voting for superintendent. If a person doesn't it's probably a sign of them not being secure in who they voted for but remember we can't control everything the president does......so we can't be faulted for everything that goes wrong.

[Cindy]

Most of my issues are more to do with State government than National. My husband has his ideals and I have mine, sometimes they are the same. But not always. But for president we usually vote for the same person, he just doesn't know it. And I don't really think he cares if I tell him or not. It has never been an issue. I always stand up for what I believe in especially in the way I vote.

[RevDWW]

If nominated I will accept.
If elected I will serve!




:toofunny :toofunny :toofunny :toofunny :toofunny :toofunny

[Joelel]

1 st.choice Mike Huckabee
2 nd. choice Barack Obama

[Walkbyfaith7]

1. Ron Paul
2. Huckabee
3. Clinton, (no just kidding)

3rd choice I will write in myself. :)

:stirpot

tell their spouse?? LOL!! We actually talk/discuss/debate/argue for months in advance to the vote.

I have been a county, state and national delegate. If I did not support anyone openly what would be the point?

[Hoovie]

im not being funny, just curious....

what would be wrong with voting in a democrat?

No not wrong to vote Democrat, Libertarian, Reform, Constitution, or Independent parties. It is all about the issues and viability.

[Cindy]

Do you tell your spouse who TO vote for? I don't let others influence who I will vote for.

[Twisp]

I am voting for Ron Paul in our primaries, as is my wife. I will also be voting for him in the election if he gets the nomination or runs as an independent. If he does neither, there will be a hard choice in front of me.

[TRFrance]

In the primary probably Mike Huckabee. In the election in November, Guiliani.

It will be Guiliani vs HillBill in November. Can't wait for those debates.

Interesting. I think It'll be Giuliani too, vs Obama or Clinton
I think Huckabee is a bit of a flash in the pan. I think Giuliani will overtake him and go on to take the nomination. I think Guiliani will win NY, NJ, CT and maybe CA.. and last I looked, he was leading in the polls in Florida too, so I know he's not dead yet. He might not win these early states, but he's still polling fairly high in a lot of national polls.

Obama might have seemed like a bit of a flash in the pan at first (I still think he's a lightweight)... But if he wins NH that gives him serious momentum going into SC, where he's already leading. If he wins NH and SC back to back after winning Iowa, then he could go all the way. I think Hillary's people are just now realizing how serious a threat Obama is to take the whole thing.

Personally I think Giuliani beats Obama, and its a tossup if its Giuliani vs Hillary but I might give the edge to Rudy there. Otherwise, both Obama and Hillary would beat any other Republican in November.

Huckabee seems like a nice guy but I think if the Republicans nominate him for November, independents will go toward the Democrats in droves. Independents are the ones who will swing this election, and Obama/Clinton are probably a lot more appealing to the independent crowd than Huckabee is.

...my 2 cents

.

[SoCaliUPC]

IF Huckabee is the Republican nominee...the Republicans will have automatically given the keys to the White House to whomever the Democratic nominee is. (Same thing with that crazy Ron Paul!)

[Hoovie]

Do you tell your spouse who TO vote for? I don't let others influence who I will vote for.


If I thought that would actually work I may try it.... :happydance we generally vote very much alike.

I think others do, and are influencing who you and I will vote for...

[Hoovie]

IF Huckabee is the Republican nominee...the Republicans will have automatically given the keys to the White House to whomever the Democratic nominee is. (Same thing with that crazy Ron Paul!)

In one sentence tell me why.

[SoCaliUPC]

In one sentence tell me why.

The republican party is more than "evangelical christians" of whom Huckabee is "relating" too.

(One more sentence)....When people look past that he is "one of them" he is more liberal in his spending than the other candidates AND lacks depth to his issues (one liners are not gonna work).

[TRFrance]

I'll take a shot at it, if you don't mind:

Huckabee doesn't have enough broad appeal, (and particularly, appeal to the political center), which is what is going to decide the election.

Exactly. Going into Iowa he was a media candidate. Fox News was interviewing Democratic strategists...and they ALL WANT Huckabee to be the Republican nominee. The liberal media, IMO, want Huckabee to be the candidate as well....because they know he has "no chance in the lake of fire" of winning the election.

That's a key point. He's great with one-liners, but he doesn't seem like he'd do well in one-on-one debates. I don't get the sense the has a solid grasp of the issues. If he does, he sure doesn't come across to me like someone who does.

I think Billary Clinton, and even Obama, could make him look bad in head-to-head debates.

You got that right. I noticed in the debate last night...they were all grilling Mitt Romney on certain issues and Romney kept focusing on the issue. Huckabee, when challenged, would make one liner's and turn it around. How many times did Romney ask Huckabee to focus on the issues and not "personal attacks?" (NOTE: After Huckabee vowed to the media and the "nice" Iowans that he would refrain from this activity.)

I find it interesting that these two quotes are both reasons people would not vote for Huck.

(not that I am trying to sway anyone I dont know who I am voting for in the primary....i will support the eventual Republian nominee.)

First we have "Huck is too liberal, second Huck doesnt have broad appeal to the center.

Odd. the center likes guys who spend some. So on the surface these 2 criticisms dont seem to match....

but, I cant sit here and say it is unfounded either.

The thing that gets me on Huck, is every time I hear him talk, I like what I hear. every time I read about him, I dont like what I hear.

[Cindy]

If I thought that would actually work I may try it.... :happydance we generally vote very much alike.

I think others do, and are influencing who you and I will vote for...

I actually think the media as always puts their own slant on the candidates when reporting. The ads the candidates put out also show theirs. I try very hard to weed out the nonsense that most of us see and hear, but it's hard. My husband is union and they really have a slant. I am just an average voter and I am impressed that you have been a delegate. I must say that I think it is very hard to be a christian or a person of integrity to be a politician on any level, much less president.

[Pragmatist]

The thing that gets me on Huck, is every time I hear him talk, I like what I hear. every time I read about him, I don't like what I hear.

I would have agreed with you prior to the debate. I didn't think he sounded knowledgeable then.

[COOPER]

We need Dirty Harry for President or The Terminator.

[Cindy]

lol Coop. Yep, lets put some fictional characters in the white house.

[sherr34]

You know I dont understand why people look down on the Presidents alot of the time when its the Congress and Senate that run our country. The president really cant do anything without there premission.

[Walkbyfaith7]

Do you tell your spouse who TO vote for? I don't let others influence who I will vote for.

EVERYONE is influenced on who they vote for!
Unless you are in a cave 24 hours a day you will be influenced somehow.

[Walkbyfaith7]

You should put Ron Paul as an option on here...he got twice the support in Iowa than Guliani.

What do you say?

[Cindy]

EVERYONE is influenced on who they vote for!
Unless you are in a cave 24 hours a day you will be influenced somehow.

Well you are right in a way. I will say I try not to let other's influence me too much. And right now I am undecided.
I am also stubborn, and hard headed I have been told.

[Walkbyfaith7]

Yeah, I totally understand. I'm hard headed too and I think my 20 month old is too but she got that from me AND her mother :shhh

I think he is talking about Clint Eastwood and Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I guess liberal is the wrong term in the sense I was referring to. I was equating the term to his spending record. He is not fiscally conservative and has approved more tax hikes (not cuts) than Clinton while Gov. in Arkansas. What he says and what he has done are two different things.

[SoCaliUPC]

I knew what you meant. I wasnt disagreeing either.

Huck being more liberal on spending SHOULD appeal across into the moderate independants.

the point is, you are right, and i think the other person was right that he doesnt have cross spectrum appeal...which is wierd because he should.

[Esther]

It will be confidential...
Who are you voting for as the next President of the United States???

You left off Ron Paul.

Ron Paul doesnt count.

Yes, I do. I tell anyone that ask. I have nothing to hide or be ashamed of.

Now IF I were foolish enough to vote for Hilary I would keep that quiet. :)

[Esther]

Ron Paul doesnt count.

Well he might.

I'm waiting for Ferd to tell me who to vote for and why. :)

[Esther]

You know I dont understand why people look down on the Presidents alot of the time when its the Congress and Senate that run our country. The president really cant do anything without there premission.

I agree with you on this.

But still............

Why do you think Ron Paul is crazy?

[Cindy]

Ron Paul reminds me of Pat Paulsen and Woody Allen. I however know nothing about his politics.

[Ferd]

Well he might.

I'm waiting for Ferd to tell me who to vote for and why. :)

well, I wont be telling you Ron Paul that is for sure! LOL!


and i dont even know who I am voting for! LOL! you could vote for me!

All the facts aren't in yet.

Whooaaaa......what a minute , this is bad press my friends, this is an
Arkansan talking....he was not a spender at all, matter of fact he shot down several spending bills put up by the state legistlature.....He did not hike taxes neither......the tax rate was the same when he left office as it was when he came into office. As a matter of fact the courts ordered him to make a tax increase to fund a liberal law suit that was brought against Hillary's education system.

I can really go into detail here if you need. He was reelected twice and I have no complaints.

[Cindy]

Well not Hillary as she has already started crying about being behind in the polls.

[winklebottom]

I wish I could listen to Huckabee without focusing on his teeth!! I know he makes enough money to have a fake one put in that gap he has!!

Huckabee is a tax and spend liberal that is trying to ride the coattails of a faith he may have embraced prior to entering politics into the white house of a secular government. The Democrat party would like nothing more than to see the Huckster as the nominee as he is the most defeatable candidate among the republicans... even more so than Ron Paul. :D

It is an interesting point. Huck says he cut income taxes and raised the tax on gas. he claims he did so because of the disrepair of the states roads.

I just dont know what the truth about ole Huck is.

Huckabee vs Obama = President Barack Obama
Huckabee vs Clinton = President Hillary Clinton

I know its still early, but the way things are shaping up, things are shaping up now, we might have to start getting used to hearing these words:

"President Barack Obama"

(Then, instead of singing God Bless America, we might find ourselves singing God Help America!!)

Why do you think Ron Paul is crazy?

You have got to be kidding me?! LOL!!

Just listen to him.....he tries to live in a world that is "ideal" and not "realistic."
