I can't vote for any of the candidates, don't reside in the good old US of A but I'll be so happy when the election is over and all of u shut up. Time to stop talking about a bunch of collective losers, none of them are thinking of what's best for you and the country, it's time for them to fill their pockets end of story.

Because politics are negative.

As a person maybe, as a president he is better than was the option but he leaves a lot to be desired. I am on his side for most issues but not all and I find him to at least be willing to do what he believes to be right. That is rare in politics. He will make the hard choices and stand behind them and that takes balls in his line of work.

Yes, I am sick of the foolishness and name calling on people involved in the government. I myself do not "name-call" people I do not like in politics, because I find it inmature and ignorant. Instead, I find that it is much better to find logical points against them then use naive name calling.

No, but I got a call like that during the presidential election asking me to vote for Bush (too late, I'd already voted and it wasn't for him).  I think it's a tacky way to campaign.

No, they'll just b*tch about how the price of gas would really go up with him in office. You know how much they hate oil men. They'd have to vote Republican in that case. Wanna be my running mate?

Hon, seriously, it's because what he says doesn't matter in the slightest.  If it's an issue, the voters will take care of it.  Nearly every politician out there is a power-hungry, money-grubbing jerk.  If you don't like it, do us a favor and refrain from adding to the problem by running for office yourself.

Don't vote for a party - and certainly don't vote for someone because you think they're a nice person - vote based on the issues.  Just decide what you feel strongest about and go with the candidate who concurs with that.

The sad thing is when I go to vote I'm either voting for the lesser of evils in the the elections or I'm specifically voting to keep someone out of office.  \n\nThis message was paid for by the party for the best candidate out there, and I support this add.  :)

To try to get someone out of office.

There are term limits.  It's called voting them out!

Yes you absolutely can. The primary election is not the outcome of the choosing of the person set to take office or reelect the incumbent; the actual (or general) election does that. So just put your mind to rest, okay?

I agree.  It has gotten to the point that I find myself thinking of voting against the candidates and ballot measures who have the most annoying ad campaigns.\n\nOverall, I end up with a negative opinion of pretty much everything and everyone on the ballot - so I find it hard to believe the TV ads are effective.\n\nThe mailers don't even make it into the house, I loop by the paper recycling bin in the garage on my way in from the mailbox.\n\nThese last few days have been REALLY bad though.  I am getting 5 or 6 phone calls per hour - ALL recordings asking me to vote for or against something.  \nWe need a DO NOT CALL FOR ANY REASON list.  I hate that political groups are exempt from that do not call list.

i think the george allen stuff was pretty bad...what made it worse was the fact that he made an ad complaining about negative ads and called for the campaign to be about 'the issues', then PROMPTLY dove into the gutter and started doing the butterfly...

You should just stick with local issues...who the mayor is of their city, etc. Keep it simple, they don't understand the abstract of  US "politics" yet...
