Hey everyone, I know that all this is still a couple months away but I just wanted to throw this out there. Doesn't matter what candidate you're voting for, if you're not registered to vote, GO REGISTER! And if you are registered get to the polls and vote in November and spread the word that others do as well. God gave us the right, our veterans defended it, we should exercise it!
Election 2012
- Thread starter Sliver
- Start date
Really sad but probably true.
I wonder how many more people who vote in the presidential election if they could do it off smartphones. I know it'd never be possible but it would definitely show how lazy everyone is now a days.

I'm 18 and I just signed up for the early voters registration a month ago. I did this because the election is on November 6 and if you know anything you'll know that that's the day HALO 4 comes out!!! I'll have to tell my Sonic that I won't be driving it as much after that day lol.

This reminds me, I need to contact the board of elections again because the nearest voting place is literally only about a half mile away from me, but the card they sent me says I have to drive 10-15 miles away from civilization into a sparsely populated swamp that I lived in for a year and absolutely HATED it... I could literally walk to the nearest one but they want me to take a half hour round-trip drive. =/
Also, I would like to state that there's more than just the red team and the blue team when it comes to politics. I wish more people would realise that and maybe the not-as-popular candidates would be looked at more seriously. In all honesty, while Republicans and Democrats are supposedly polar opposites when it comes to running the country, the truth of the matter is that important issues are going to be unsolved either way, most importantly the fact that this country is over 16 trillion dollars in debt and counting, yet neither side of the major political parties has a solution. Even if you don't vote for them, find out who the candidates are that ARE NOT being backed by millions, possibly billions of campaign dollars (that, in all honesty, could be put toward paying off our massive federal debt every four years) and find out their stance on the issues this country is facing today, and vote for whoever you think is the best for you, your neighbors, and this country.
I'm not trying to endorse anyone in particular... *coughRONPAULcough*
... and I know I'm not voting for either Romney or Obama, and who I'm voting for is most likely not going to win, but I believe if more people start looking at the alternatives, maybe we'll start seeing some more excellent contenders with differing views and stances, and maybe one day we'll find just what this country needs to stand back up as strong as ever once again.
'MERICA! :banana:

i know what you mean. but this election is way to important. we must get Barack Hussien Obama MMM, MMM, MMM out of the WHITE house.
i feel a lot the same as you, but this election can't stand for a single vote to be wasted. to my knowledge, Ron Paul isn't running 3rd party is he. i may have missed something though

Nope, he's running Republican... of course he isn't the party-backed candidate though.

Some of You people have no idea!!!!
Gm or chrysler wouldn't have failed. They would've filed bankruptcy.
I've filed bankruptcy and i'm not dead yet. They would've renegotiated there contracts with the unions and made for a better company. Instead of one that has to put out failed cars like the volt in order to keep the money coming.
Obama = the fall of our nation!!!!!!!!!!

I don't agree with the bailouts. Period. I don't care what corporation it is or how much I love them or hate them. That's how it goes. If your outgoing exceeds your income, it will be your downfall! If I have to make sure that I have money to pay my bills at the end of each month, there's no reason that corporations and government can't do the same.

i dont agree with the bailouts. Basic economic principles say to let the market handle the problem, by interfering and bailing out bank/car industry we hindering the system and are just messing things up. We need to revert back to pre FDR era with some minor regulation. Gov't is way to big and people are becoming to dependent on gov't. Their job is not to be involved in every aspect of American life, but to create an environment where the people can grow, not create the incentives to stay poor and reliant on the gov for handouts.
Romney is not the answer but is better than obama. Politics kills any good business man from becoming President, which is sad because we need a good businessman as President to run our gov't(which is a monopolistic business itself).
Our tax system is incredibly flawed and the system is designed to hurt business and those who per sue a better life. You are penalized tax percentage wise for working harder to make more money. Its ass backwards Its sad that it better for American companies to base their business in other countries to avoid the U.S. tax system. American want to stop losing jobs, then we need to revamp the tax system and start focusing on creating jobs that America have a comparative advantage at, and manufacturing and agriculture are not those jobs.
