The time has come! Who are we voting for?

AlwaysAt least I try hard ...
Why would it be against the rules to say what you like about Mccain? That isnt being negative. You dont have to say anything bad about anyone.
I'm not sure, I'm going blindfolded.
Because your "positive" will be someone else's "negative" and will in all likelihood lead to an argument which is exactly what we are trying to avoid here in this thread.
this thread is simply here to find out: who you are voting for. not why. we've had plenty of those disasters on here in the last few weeks.
Pop stars and artistic types tend to be fairly left wing though, you'll find the same thing over here with musicians and actors supporting the Labour party
I find the whole system a little screwy, most people end up voting for the same party every election regardless of leader or policies which means they haven't used sound judgement in making their decision
Your probably right.
Round my area its primarily labour voters as thats the main party advertised.
Still though ill bet that most black people vote for Obama for the simple reason he's black.
Thats not true. They could say "I like Mccain because I think he'll handle terrorism better". Whats negative about that? I was just wondering couse most canadians seem to go for Obama. And I was wondering if they support Bush or not. I dont see why this would be an argument. If you cant ask questions what is the point of having the thread? Just have a poll.
I'm sure being black helps Obama with the rest of black population. But if Obama was white and Mccain was black I think most black people would still support the white Obama because they have had to deal with the Bush policies for the last 8 years.
What rock are you living under?
Because it will turn into an argument. There's 2 or maybe 3 threads that have turned into name calling *****fests. So please, keep on topic with the thread. Introducing opinions about why you voted for someone is not why I started the thread. If you don't like it then you certainly do not need to participate in the thread.

Voodoo, maybe you didn't read the previous post with respect to this issue. Unlike Europeans, North Americans do not debate or discuss political issues with very good flair. It always starts off with good intentions but unfortunately turns into a flaming argument that needs to be extinguished. Hence the reason firefreak laid out the rules of engagement right from the get go.
It's a lot easier to discuss politics face-to-face. On a forum, things can get out of control very quickly.
Its even tough to discuss polly ticks face to face. People are very passionate about their views. I really only talk about them on here, once in a great while about my wife, and every so often with the random drunk guy at the bar. LOL
I only get involved here because everyone is so damn liberal and we need a balance. :biggrinsanta:

I haven't been following this, but if it gets out of line just PM me.
About there being no discussion: If someone wants to discuss the different candidates, just create another thread. If the person who started this thread puts down some rules I will help to enforce them, unless of course I find them to be very unecessary.

I agree with Karky. The original poster politely asked everyone to just vote, and avoid discussion in this particular thread.
I think we're all grown up enough to respect those wishes.
Politics and religion are too easily converted from 'healthy debate' to 'call the police, he's swinging a chair at my head!' arguments.

Whatever. I was just wondering if a canadian that supported Mccain also supported Bush and if there were any reasons. I was just curious. If you all cant keep things postive that's your own fault. I was just asking a question not trying to start an arguement. But again if you cant talk to eachother whats the point of having a thread just have a poll.
