Who would you rather win in November?

[Spider-Man]

If McBama were the only candidates running.

[dannno]

If I could steal thousands and thousands of votes from Obama for a third party candidate, I would do it in a second.

I'd still rather see him in the White House than McCain, just not nearly as much as I would like to see people vote third party.

[acptulsa]

I'd much rather see the people win. Don't expect it, but you did ask about preference.

[SnappleLlama]

meh.

[ShowMeLiberty]

The only difference I see is that is will be Socialism/fascism or Fascism/socialism. I'm going to be much more focused on preparing for the bad economic times that are coming no matter who wins.

[voytechs]

Yoda is my choice this November.

[Kludge]

Obama... I'd rather have the scandals of a shitty socialized medical/education system in the news instead of the oversea abuse scandals.

Gimme all dem grants, gimme all dem pills, gimme all y'all paychecks or else y'all be chillin' real.

Think I might start doing road shows.

[Andrew Ryan]

It really doesn't matter. Either way we're royally %$#@ed.

[Calpico]

Obama, because when he screws up bad the two-party system will be in jeopardy. Especially if Ventura runs in 2012.

[Paulitician]

I think it does matter. Neo-cons are fully discredited, now we need the Dems and their marxist/progressive ideology to be discredited too.

[Indy4Chng]

The only difference I see is that is will be Socialism/fascism or Fascism/socialism. I'm going to be much more focused on preparing for the bad economic times that are coming no matter who wins.

+1.

On per annoy me less factor I choose McCain. He annoys me less when he talks.

[cheapseats]

I favor a Placeholder President, not least to diffuse the inordinate hostility that exists American to American.

As bad as things are, as much as we’ve been through, as many people as have died, and the best we can come up with is two people each of whom roughly half the people loathe?

Are we kidding me?

A system that by all accounts and every measure is broken is offering up a choice between pudding and jello…more like, between getting run over by a train or falling out of a plane. No parachute, sorry…CEO’s have dibs on those.

Why in God’s name are we putting up with this shit?

What are we waiting for, 2012? Are my countrymen actually conceding another four years of rapacious taxation, mind-numbing inefficiency, stunning stupidity, blatant corruption and outright crime?

Between governance and campaigning, only about a gazillion rules have thus far been concocted, imposed, circumvented, rewritten, bent, revised, broken and abandoned…why not one more?

In view of the travesty of recent years and the assurance of worse to come, does it really seem such an outrageous notion for the American people to demand a full range of alternatives on the November ballot?

Independent is taken, you say? Okay, the Third Party ticket. There are more than three, sort of? The Alternative Party perhaps, or does that smack of gay? Very well, the People’s Party. Nope, reeks of Communism. Red, blue, green…all taken. Yellow, that won’t do. Nor White, nor Black. Nothing with New, Youth, Social, Progressive, Labor or Reform. The Principled Party is self-congratulatory. Lemme think.

Peace and Freedom always had a nice ring to it but, ironically, it is associated with loss.

Founders Party
Patriot Party
Pilgrim Party
Designating both ‘same old shit’ and HELP!, perhaps the S.O.S. party.

You have to hand it to Republicans for usurping the term Right…how smart was that? Democrats have been caught looking the wrong direction ever since. Right, you say? Good idea…guess we’ll just go ahead and be Wrong…LEFT, we meant Left.

Both formula candidates have assured us that it’s not “about them.” They live to serve, right? Both formula candidates, impassioned about our country’s best interests not their own political aspirations, will no doubt welcome more candidates as testament to their commitment to democratic and wholesome governance.

Laws are man-made. It is by man that they are unmade. What judge would refuse the petition of millions upon millions of citizens for additional candidates?

Under meaningful threat from without and unmistakable threat from within, with the Ruling Elite offering up financial mumbo jumbo that will further empower Established Interests, what judge would reject the People’s demand for Plans C, D and E?

Only a judge who is as unafraid of the People as he is indebted to the Establishment.

It seems to me that the American People would be well served by a non-denominational Placeholder President, someone that half the people don’t despise from the gate.

Someone who knows how to steward a business through Chapter 11, while Democrats and Republicans figure out what the hell they stand for and who their standard bearers are and while alternative parties formulate to represent those whose ideologies are not represented by the not-right-right or the not-wrong-left.

On a good day, I imagine a slew of those fledgling parties joining forces to represent American Labor insofar as it is obvious that BOTH parties’ hierarchies are intractably aligned with Big Money. The Union Party.

But in the meantime, four years’ worth, a Competent Executive to stave off disaster by streamlining the operation, dumping worthless inventory and unproductive people, reigning in expenses and raising capital.

That doesn’t say John McCain to me. That doesn’t say Barack Obama to me.

I read but cannot find the argument that Ron Paul ought not to jeopardize his seat in the house by donning a different mantle. I disagree, but that’s his call. What about this?

What about Lee Iacocca for president, with Ron Paul as vice president? If they lose, Ron Paul retains his seat.

Lee Iacocca knows from bailouts.

[mconder]

I choose Obama, because I feel it will lead to a greater backlash to the 2 party system in 2012.
