 Topic: Which is the worst?
Posted: October 25 2006 at 08:50 |
I choose all of the above, but the absolute worst is 'politicians.'
How about you...

Gyurcsány is the worst. At least in Hungary.

Republicans! I vote Democrat, but only because no socialist or green party member is ever on the ballot.

Flamewar is going to be an understatement for this thread...

Agreed.
You do realize that this thread can cause absolutely nothing good? It is said that there are two things you should never talk with friends about: religion and politics. Especially since you didn't say something like "Do you vote Rebuplican or Democrat?," which would have at least been generally unoffensive, but rather asked which was worse. If this thread isn't closed, I predict there will be some serious fighting, unless people just choose not to respond.

Nothing in here so far has given me cause to close it. But I will be watching it very closely....

Same with me here in Maryland,Zac.I don't just get it in the mail either,they call you on the phone too...incessantly. The race for govenor here has gotten pretty nasty,there is a lot of mud-slinging going on.

The Republican party here made an ad saying that Harold Ford (D) accepted money from Playmates or something ridiculous, it was on CNN and other news stations nationwide. It's such a shame that politics have to come to this, it makes me sick.
The Republican candidate, Bob Corker, was our old mayor....there is a reason he was not reelected! I could never vote for him, although most of my family supports him (I don't know why).
Personally, I do not care for either candidate.

Politicians. Though specifically, definitley Republicans.
Though....the ads are always disgusting. Especially in New Jersey. When Jon Corzine was running for Govenor there were attacks against his family, and his ex wife even was in an ad that said "Jon Corzine let my family down, and he'll let New Jersey down too".
I am living in PA right now and the Ed Rendell/Lynn Swan, Rick Santorum/Bob Casey ads are not much better....
Apparently it's like this across the country.

I think Swan's been in it for a while. I absolutely hate politics and it makes religion look like a quiet evening at home...but I thoroughly dislike Republicans; a disgraceful party. But these results are no surprise since we are all 'progressives'.

I live in PA. Yes, it is Lynn Swann the old Steelers WR. This is his first foray into politics - a bad choice, attempting to unseat a very popular governor, in a state where - and this was a surprising fact to me - no incumbent governor has ever lost an election. Is the Ehrlich race close Jody? I also heard Michael Steele is running for Senate but they don't predict he will win.

To address the thread topic, I would pick "politicians", as neither the Democrat nor Republican party really represents my interests. I suppose Libertarian is the best label you could slap on me, however I don't follow that ideology down to the letter either.

I think Ehrlich will win because everyone I know despises Martin O'Malley.I am a lifelong Baltimore resident and that man did a terrible job as the mayor of Baltimore.He was young and promised all kinds of things and didn't deliver on any of them.Our city police force is extremely corrupt(we had 8 different commissioners in 8 years,almost all had to be removed for corruption)and our schools have absolutely no money and are in a state of decay(he authorized almost 200 million dollars of city funds to build the Ravens football stadium,while Camden Yards was built with state lottery money). And I don't think Steele will win the Senate race.

Yeah, I'm technically still a PA resident voting by absentee ballott. I just dislike politicians in general. Casey's ads are ridiculous, and Santorum is just a ridiculous person in general. I read something he said at a speech a few weeks ago where he compared the war in Iraq to the struggle against Sauron in Lord of the Rings. Apparently the war in Iraq is what's keeping Sauron's Eye away from the US so Frodo and Sam can ascend Mt. Doom.... whatever that means. Swan doesn't have a chance against Rendell, though.
