I like the way it works here, we have several rounds, in the first round there are as many canditates & parties as there can be, then we vote & the two that get the most votes go to the second round & we have to chose between those two, the only drawback is that if there are several popular left parties for example, the voters can be very devided & not even manage to get one of them votes like last time where it was Jaques Chirac (Right) & Jean-Marie le Pen(is) (Natoinal front) who got to the second round (total fvck up). Perhaps a combination, one party from each side through to the final round. Hmm, ok, I'm not being very clear here, sorry, thinking as I type.

I'd love to see a black gay left wing female president in the USA.

Erm...how about just a good one. White, rich, and male or black, gay, and female ... I don't care.

Nope, I want a black gay left-wing female. A really butch one, too. With a buzz cut and white tank tops with dog tags. Someone reeeeeally stereotypical in an anti-White House kind of way. Then I will laugh and be satisfied.

BTW one of my friends gave me the number to the White House switchboard the other night and we drunk dialed it. (But only once, for fear of having the FBI on our doorstep the next day.)

I agree with Ally and Ralph Nader: Our system is messed up. We DO need to address the electoral college thing, but our system isn't doing its best to get the BEST CANDIDATE in office, Bush, Kerry or otherwise.

People on both sides of the aisle breathed a major sigh of relief when Kerry beat out Howard Dean. Can you imagine having another outsider in the White House? Someone who was seriously tackling the issues instead of spouting out popular rhetoric?
Sorry, but I feel like this last election was carried out by feeding off people's paranoia. Bush's side was able to push their message better.
"Vote for me or they'll come here and get you!" Doesn't matter who they are, it's just pandering to people's fears.
Now, just as in his last four years, Bush is gonna use smoke screen issues while the real bad things are going on behind the scenes. Do you think he's really that concerned about an anti-gay marriage amendment to the Constitution?
Keep a sexy issue like that thrown all over the newspapers and televisions in this country and you can get the real stuff you want to do taken care of without scrutiny.
How do you think they're passing all the anti-environmental legislation and destroying all the regulations that keep our country healthy without having a decoy?

I think I would have voted for Dean over Bush.

If you can rig an election in Florida, doesn't it follow that you can rig a primary in New Hampshire?

Amen, amen, amen.

Sorry, I have to ask: What does "erm" mean, Jack?

Gatsby · 12-08-2004, 03:33 AM

Same as "uhmmm," I think.

joppa.gal · 12-08-2004, 05:21 AM

I actually should have paid more attention to the primaries. As this was the second presidential election I have voted in, I feel that I only really have started getting my feel wet in the issues.

As my friend stated recently during a visit, the US media coverage bias is vastly different when compared to BBC or other worldwide. Topic coverage is vast yet shallow in other countries yet here in the US papers seem to puddle in special interest scandals and ignore everything else.If I want the full news, I need to search it out.

I think that's why I've been lazy about the current issues and lackadasial about my voting..... United States public/media is moody and shifts with the wind as to which current fad the news will follow.
