[color=#0000FF][size=200]Hilary Clinton for president 2008 :D {up} [/size][/color]

I'm not American, but I belive John Edwards would have made a great president. He is a very unlucky man, entering the competition against two 'celebrity candidaites, obama and clinton. Now, I am proberly for hukabee, or obama. Anyways, really do hope edwards will run for president again.
jason. ;-)

[color=#0040BF]Although not from NYC I did the early voting and voted for Rudy. But in November I will more than likely be voting for McCain even though he wasn't my first choice. I liked what he stood for. But I don't want a democrate to win.[/color]

I've always been super-conservative in my political views, but I think if Obama wins the Democratic billing, I'll be voting for my first Democrat. Although, there has been a recent surge in thinking McCain can win the Republican billing, and I've loved him for years, so I'm completely torn. :?

[quote="ne0ven0m"]I personally liked Edwards, although he's gone now. His opinions on every issue reflected my own, and plus he seems like a personable, nice guy. Can't really explain it much further than that.[/quote]

I agree. Although I like Obama more, I think Edwards could have been a great president. However, rumor has it that there may be a spot for him as Attorney General in the Obama campaign. That would be a great job for him, as he is one of the greatest lawyers in America.

To be honest, I would not want Hilary Clinton as president. I back Barack Obama. He doesn't have anywhere near the experience Hillary does but he has a much louder "voice' and would be able to force more change than George Bush could. Hilary seems to have taken a backseat with her husband leading the charge against obama. How sad. :(

[quote="Shambler"][quote="RingosDrum"]I absolutely do not want the health care reform to take place.[/quote]

I think any health reform that affords opportunities to people who are less fortunate than oneself are great! {thumb2}[/quote]


Sounds good on paper, but it's not a good thing. It's not working as well as people think in the UK and Canada so why would we want to follow same suit? I wrote a paper on this and it involves lots of things. There are people who get health insurance for free right now and it would be no different because people who do have insurance through work or out of pocket would probably rather pay for a private doctor so that their quality of care does not decrease. One of the biggest things that keeps hospitals providing good, quality care is competition. If there is none, such as with a health care reform plan than the quality would decrease. Hospitals are very competetive as they are now. I am in the healthcare field so I see quite a bit first hand.

EDIT

not being american, and so it not being an important issue im liking Barack Obama purely because that is a brilliant name. ahem. he sounds a decent guy though.

to be honest, the only one that has stood out to me is the really conservative one - he doesnt sound good. no idea which is the conservative party in america...but hes the overly religious guy who pretty much seems to want to put human rights back about 50 years...

just as a little aside, that actually really amazed me the first time i found out how the healthcare system works in the usa...it seems really weird when you're used to something different.

im actually dreading our next election...cos i can vote from this year...and theres no-one to vote for. its a pretty rubbish situation. everyones as bad as each other.
