Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 19, 2007, 03:43:12 PM: That thing is absolute bullshit, black and white bullshit. The choices are borderline distinguished mentally-challenged and I hate myself for taking it. You're either for Bush's hardline stay the course policy or for the Democrat's cut and run policy. You're either for business or for labor. What the hell?

I HOPE HE FUCKING DIES

Stupid cocksucker KILLED the economy in New Mexico.

Post by: Cheebs on February 19, 2007, 03:46:17 PM: Bill Richardson is running on vast foreign policy experience. He won't be president, he is a leading contender for VP though. If Hillary is the nominee it will be either him, Wes Clark, or Evan Bayh.

He is also a strong rumored candidate for Obama to pick.

So I'd say overall there is sizable chance he'll be our next VP.
Title: Re: Stolen From GAF: Presidential Candidate Selector
Post by: Mupepe on February 19, 2007, 03:47:50 PM: I would die inside if he became President.

I think I might be able to live with VP. He is horrible though.
Title: Re: Stolen From GAF: Presidential Candidate Selector
Post by: Cheebs on February 19, 2007, 03:50:52 PM: He won't be President. He has no money, no charisma, and poor name recognition. There isn't a possibility of him breaking the top 3.

Yup, I said it alright. Because that's all the Democrats plans are: run away. They have absolutely no understanding of the problems it will cause, and apparently they don't care. Certainly the Republicans are stupid also for blindly following a faulty plan, but in the long term a withdrawl will be far more damaging to this country than "staying the course" for a bit longer.

This isn't Vietnam, and Iraq isn't near Cambodia. We're talking about Iran and Syria here folks. Syria to a much lesser degree though

Post by: Mupepe on February 19, 2007, 03:56:31 PM: Yeah, I know. But God, I just hate the man soo much. When I lived in New Mexico, it scared me how much some of these people loved him when it was his own economic policies that were causing New Mexico to go to shit. As long as he kept busting meth addicts and gangs, they loved him. Everytime he was questioned on his policies he said "But we're hard on crime!"

And I don't know if I've ever seen someone so blatantly purchased by big business in my life.

God I hate that man so much.

Title: Re: Stolen From GAF: Presidential Candidate Selector
Post by: Phoenix Dark on February 19, 2007, 10:23:48 PM: It said I'm liberal, but the questions are so weak that it's easy to place someone on one side of the aisle or the other really.

Socially I lean slightly conservative on certain issues. I'm slowly losing my faith when it comes to supporting abortion, but on the other hand I'm firmly in support of gay marriage/equality. On economic issues I'm pro business, but at the same time I support labor; many liberals seem to have this almost paranoid, juvenile msconception of business. I'm rather hardline on illegal immigration, and I support heavy fines against buisnesses who hire them under the table. Eventually the issue is going to tie into national security, and I'd like to something done to ensure we avoid any huge problems in the future.

On foreign policy I support a strong position against terrorism, but a smart position. I never was a supporter of the war in Iraq, yet I don't support any withdrawl plans either. Diplomacy should be our first option with respect to Iran in my opinion.

From what I gather Bill Richardson is extremely popular in New Mexico. Among both democrats and even republicans. Everyone seems to adore him and he sailed through re-election.

I know. It's freakish. I don't understand why he's loved so much. The man is like Satan.
