I don't like Bono's Politics...
Don't really like Bush's either, but then... I can't remember a politician I ever did, so I'm likely a bit biased.
I do love this however:
Bloody Sunday

Ok. Do you like him? Hell, I voted for Bush, but it wasn't really FOR Bush. More like AGAINST Kerry.

Yes, Bush has done everything I expected he would if he was elected, so yeah I like the guy.
Hell he had the balls to attack the Tali-Ban and Iraq and piss Billster off.
If he could run another term, I'd vote for him again.

Maybe you should have looked for another candidate if you didn't care for either of them. It's not like we actually HAVE a two party system... they just like to make it seem that way. |

Personally I think its pointless voting for any party other than the two main parties...since they have no shot at winning, your vote is basically worthless.

The reason your vote is worthless is exactly because of that thinking. If people actually started voting for the candidate they believe in instead of just picking the lesser of two evils, we might actually get some decent candidtates in office. That would take some actual effort by the voters to learn more about the candidates and how our government works. It's much easier to vote for they guy who has the nicer tie on the tv, or the guy the radio show host tells you to vote for. |

Voting for anyone other than the 2 leading candidates is a wasted vote and your are basically just ensuring your vote doesn't count.
Thats what Perott did to Bush. Perott was there to take votes that Bush would have otherwise gotten and helped Clinton to get into office. As anyone who voted for Perott if they could go back and vote again who they would vote for and they would have voted for Bush and Bush would have won.

The actual government of the United States is set up to be a two party. Both parties would like to keep it that way. No, it would be throwing away a vote.
Special note, I would have thrown my vote away for the Perott. Had the best chance in a VERY long time. And it still wasn't a good one.

Can't agree with Chaos and the electing of Bush for a third term if it was possible.
He's done absolutely nothing for the economy in my eyes. Or maybe its my perception from what I see around me.
Granted Bush did inherit a bear market from Clinton who left with the market on a decline for the two final years of his term, but Bush has done little to restore it in my eyes.
