Which candidate is for you...

Recommended Posts

I'm sure it's been posted here before but here a list of real candidates running for president you might not have heard of: http://www.politics1.com/dems04.htm

 

Like this genius for instance:

Randy Crow -- a small businessman and former realtor -- was an unsuccessful candidate for the Wilmington City Council in 1997. Then he ran for Congress in the 1998 primary (spending $200 and losing by a lopsided vote of 94% to 6%) ... then he ran for President in the 2000 primaries (he got on the ballot in New Hampshire and Louisiana) ... then he ran another losing primary for Congress later in 2000 (losing by a 93% to 7% vote) .. then he lost for Council again ... and most recently finished last place (9th - 1%) in the 2002 US Senate primary. Undaunted, he's running for President again in 2004. In an email to Politics1 in 2000, Crow explained his motives: "I am involved in politics to get rid of filthy communists and lots of others." He also believes the FBI blew up TWA Flight 800 with a laser and shot down Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan's 2000 campaign plane. On his website, Crow repeatedly expresses open hatred towards Jews (Example: "Vietnam was a zioni$t manipulated War designed to kill our Christian kids and install na$i communi$t zioni$m in the Vietnam region"). Most of the contents of Crow's site, however, appear to be rambling conspiracy tirades against various envisioned enemies: "It has been 13 years since the FBI fessed up to the fact they were investigating me. All my files are classified ... In 1994 the Federal Force manipulated a bunch of mess which questioned my sanity ... I think the Force had some weird blood work done on me or possibly put a computer chip in me." Crow was upset that we quoted these various passages so he printed a rather long, rambling screed on the site denouncing Politics1 as a "zioni$t" tool out to destroy him (he even attacked us for referring to him above as -- gasp -- a "former realtor" because, he notes, he only dabbled in real estate in the past). Crow has qualified for the 2004 NH and Texas primary ballots and is attempting to secure ballot status in other states. Oh, we forget to mention that Crow has a "hunch" that he "may be The Returning Christ ... I do believe firmly that in a way whether or not I am The Returning Christ is a non event and do not worry about it at all, except I do pray that if I am The Returning Christ I would like to be the coolest, greatest, most fantastic Returning Christ in the history of the Universes." Then, he explains, he knows he could defeat the secret Federal Force (or Omega Force or whatever they're called) and the "zioni$ts." Yup, you can read that and lots, LOTS more writings like this on his website.

 

And we call DEAN crazy! :ph34r:

I'd consider Lieberman to be the John McCain of the Democratic party. In that he is liked by members of the opposite party and disagrees with his "side" a lot.

All these high-rated Kucinich scores worry me about the future of America. Let's hope that future politicans don't try too hard to pander to the "Message Board Community"

I think some of these polls are more biased than some people think the media is.

 

When I tried the SelectSmart poll, underneath my ideal candidate was Green Party Candidate and Socialist Candidate. I'm not about to vote for either of those. I hate to reflect a party on three guys, but having watched the campaigns of Ralph Nader, Peter Camejo (recall candidate), and Matt Gonzalez (SF Mayor candidate), I have no intentions for voting for a Green anytime soon.

 

Obviously, if I didn't like any of those guys, I wouldn't be voting Socialist either.

Thank God! You have sense after all. :D Unlike my uncle who actually voted for Camejo in October.

 

 

And yes, these polls seemed a little biased to one direction.

I often use Camejo's comments on immigrants ("Why do we call these people illegal? What's with this word illegal? They are part of our family!") as my reason for frequently disliking California leftyism.

 

I actually voted Yes/Arnold. I was going to vote No/Arnold until Davis decided to hand out licenses like candy to whoever could make it past the border patrol.

I think Kucinich and Sharpton are excellent reasons not to vote.
