How are you voting?

That list is completely bogus...

Favorably-viewed Presidents George Washington (94% favorable) Abraham Lincoln (92% favorable) Thomas Jefferson (89% favorable) Theodore Roosevelt (84% favorable) Franklin D. Roosevelt (81% favorable) John F. Kennedy (80% favorable) John Adams (74% favorable) James Madison (73% favorable) Ronald Reagan (72% favorable) Dwight Eisenhower (72% favorable) Harry Truman (70% favorable) Andrew Jackson (69% favorable) Gerald Ford (62% favorable) John Quincy Adams (59% favorable) Ulysses S. Grant (58% favorable) Jimmy Carter (57% favorable) William Taft (57% favorable) George H.W. Bush (57% favorable) Woodrow Wilson (56% favorable) Bill Clinton (55% favorable)

You cannot rate a president that you were not alive during their terms. The only reason people voted favorably for those people, besides the fact that they were on a list, is because in school you were never told about their negative feats, only their positive ones. EVERY President that we have had has done something that the rest of America completely disagrees with, or so I feel. The difference with most every other president, is the negative thing was heavily outweighed by the positive thing which recieved so much praise, the negative thing became overlooked, or was viewed in a positive light.

I will use Abraham Lincoln as an example. He freed the slaves! Many Americans were pissed. Sure they are people, but it's labor that we didn't have to pay for. So you feed them a few times a week, and need to give them shelter. YOU REAP 100% OF THE BENEFITS OF YOUR CROPS! Now, don't think I believe we should still have slaves, I am glad we don't, because I would be one for sure (disregarding color). But nowadays, it is viewed by everyone, except racists, as one of the best things that happened to America.

Also, I can almost guarantee the reason Clinton was voted least favorable is because they all feel that getting head is wrong. They would have never known, if someone hadn't told them. What he does behind closed doors is his business that he can handle with his wife and mistress. Sometimes people think you are the worst person because of your personal life, even if the job you are doing is beyond what has been done in a long time, and it sucks that people feel the need to judge you on your personal life, not how well you handle your job.

eh, i already stated all that in my post - i think alot of you read the first 2 lines and said omg what an idiot using stupid statistics...

Biden has just been accused of "sinking to a new low" when he took a jab at VP canidate Palin. He said that people with special needs children should be supporting stem-cell research.

Obama's campaign denied he was taking a jab at Palin
McCain's campaign said it is the sign of a desperate campaign

He wasn't even taking a jab at Palin, just saying in general they have an added need to want research that could potentially help out their childred, and end this dumb uneducated bible-thumping policies we have in place currently.

if i was a US citizen i'd go for Obama. i dont ever really ever plan to enroll myself to vote. dont care too much about who runs the country and what so i'd never really vote anyway and cop myself a $50 fine.

I found this, and thought others would appreciate it:

I can't quite work out if it's real (I'm leaning more towards it being fake), but it does bring up an important point, and one more reason why I wouldn't vote for McCain (I don't think I've mentioned it, but someone else might have) - he's run a very dirty campaign. Over here, we don't get much coverage of the campaigns until it's actually time for the vote, but we have had quite a bit about each of McCain's jabs at Obama, and they've all been really childish. The latest one was Obama's comment about "lipstick on a pig", wasn't it? Now in itself it's childish to call someone out over a phrase, but what makes it extra special is that fact the McCain used the phrase himself (was it to describe Hillary?).

I hate people like that.

"I'm not going to say how I can do great things, but I will insult the other candidate and hope that people will support me because I'm pointing out his flaws."

I've not read anything in this thread, I did vote for Obama on it though. McCain and all of his bullshit won't work. Choosing a woman was clever, but she was the wrong woman to choose.

The video was fake, but it was well done. At one point the video camera zooms in and the video on the screen shifts off the screen just barely.

Good thing to see that most people are voting democrat, I don't think I can suffer another Republican president.

It's too bad a Zelaron poll isn't the same as national polls.

Obama 268 McCain 270

Right now, anyway.

I prefer having my lies.

I'm moving to Canada is we vote in another poorly-trained monkey.

I'll move to England, I prefer monarchy over monkeys in democracy any day.

You've got to be fucking kidding me...

The Queen does absolutely nothing, I'm afraid - she's just a figurehead. Our monkeys who are in power are flinging poo at each other currently. In fact, it's been described as "having a punch-up on the deck of the sinking Titanic".

We have a General Election coming up next year, and if the Conservatives (English equivalent of the Republicans) get in I'll be moving to Canada.

I would definetly consider moving countries, irregardless of who wins. Many people think, you're a dumb fuck. You know how fucking lucky you were to be born in America?!? I would kill to be you, you fucking prick...

Honeslty it's not that great (in my eyes). I would MUCH rather be living anywhere else, because I'm just so sick of everything I know about America. Granted when I leave and learn about the shittake cream-scape of the new country I will probably feel the same way. Other countries have such fascinating cultures. When you think of a place like Sweeden for instance, it's kinda like a mystery to me... something I know very little about, and yet somwhere that seems, good. Chruser could vouch for them but, I'd prefer to live somewhere other then America, and in fact when I join the military I'm considering going out of country. Problem is trying to get Tutti on board.

There are a lots of places that I think would be better places to live than America. America is not as great as it is made out to be. You're constantly surrounded by ignorant fucktards that love nothing more than digging their society deeper into the grave, and self-centered asshats that don't care about helping their fellow man.

I'm not sure if I'd want to live in Sweden, though. The recent anti-piracy legislation over there is scary.

Not voting, not registered.

Not voting, not registered.

You think half of the people who picked are registered... Zelaron polls do NOT in any way directly effect, or even indirectly for that matter the American Presidential Race...

What is your opinion, god someone change the fkn title...

Yeah jackass, the title asks who you are voting for, not what your opinion is.

If you want my opinion, I don't like either of the candidates. So still, neither.

Then why even bother posting?

It's sad that we live in a society where peolpe's lives are so worthless that they don't even care what is going on around them.
