If you run for president of the United States someday, why should I vote for you?

Because I know what it is to work for minimum wage. I know what it is also to have no freedom. And I am someone who knows how to listen, be fair, moreover, I will not start wars unless I am ready to send in my own kids.

my preference is to vote independant...whatever is best for this country in the long run...not giving up long term things for short term gains

Yes, he's fixing the election so that I can run.  Even though I have no prior political experience, and I'm only 25.  Osama bin Laden is going to be my running mate.

Yes I would vote for her. Only because she is a Democrat and very smart. No she will not run for president. Read her book living History. In that book she tells how she has all the power she needs and wants in the Senate.

Of course no one should tell you how to vote, but they should be telling you why to vote for a particular individual. I tend to be all over the place when I vote, and it's because I look at the issues and the individual and make a decission accordingly.

Why do United States politicians run for re-election (and in Congress win re-election at a 98% rate)? For that matter why does anyone run for elected office? One could say that these people are interested in helping the people they "represent", and that may be true in some circumstances. However this is unlikely because politicians, like everyone else, tend to act in their perceived self interests (whether those perceptions are correct is another matter). The nature of politics (power and coercion) draws people who are power hungry to its cause. Once these people gain power they will do whatever they can from relenting such their positions. For a better and more in depth discussion look into public choice theory (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_choice_theory).

You do what's right and legal. Otherwise, a trained monkey could follow the polls. It's called leadership, and it is sorely lacking in Congress today.\n\nIf you are more interested in popularity and re-election, you will never end up doing the right thing based on principle.

Yeah.....but feelin' kinda lost about it all... \n\nI guess I have to or I won't really have the right to b*tch about it later...\n\nHey, why don't you run so I can vote for YOU! \nI would indeed.  \nOh   yes   I   would.\n\nPOPCORN for President...enough said \n*smirk*

I shouldn't be and wouldn't be voted USA president because it is an awesome responsibility that seems to make individuals noticably age quickly.  If this by some miracle happened anyway, I would choose my running mate to be Ruth Graham (Billy's wife) because she would back me in prayer and know how to be gracious in public!

I am assuming that you want to run for President of the United States of America. According to the Consitiution of the United States of America in Artilce II, you must be a natural born citizen of the United States of America, at least 35 years old, and you have to been living in the United States of America for at least 14 years.

There are a number of controversial propositions that need attention.  I hope to defeat some and support some.  I also want to give my vote to some worthy candidates.\n\nWhat did you hope to accomplish with your vote?
968454
Yes, I will. I am 58 and have voted in every election since I came of age, except for two times, , both mid-term elections like this coming Tuesday, which I missed because I was in a fast attack submarine on deployment in the Western Pacific.The way I see it, if you don't vote, you don't have the right to complain about the results.

For the person not the party.  For example, if I were in his district I would vote for Ron Paul from Texas, not because he is a Republican, but because he understands and supports the Constitution.  \n\nTo vote for someone because they are a member of a particular party is, in my opinion, a stupid reason to vote for someone.  \n\nIt is the responsibility of each citizen to try to understand the candidate and how they would act if elected, party affiliation of the candidate is a nonmeaningful determination.
