Lets vote. (If I am missing any other candidate please let me know.)

I am just interested to see if RSBandB had an electoral vote which way would we go?
Also, yell at each other about their choice below.

My choice is simple.

romney did not promise to fire everybody from congress.

Has Ron Paul defected from the Republicans to run as an independent? If he's not running as an independent then he shouldn't be on the poll

Ron Paul is supporting Gary Johnson. The poll should be:

Obama - Democrat
Romney - Republican
Johnson - Libertarian
Stein -Green

Those are the people on the ballot in almost all states

Because he can't? It's good that he didn't make a promise that is impossible to keep? And Obama's not going to/be able to do that either, so why is he getting your vote? #-o

Personally, I don't like either Obama or Romney, but Obama had 4 years to fix everything and he didn't. In business, if your CEO doesn't do a good job, you usually find someone else who can. Politics is the same way. Give someone else a shot to fix the mess.

Because I know with Obama, he won't try to get rid of big bird.

Romney didn't say he would get rid of Big Bird, he said he would cut subsidies.

Also, yeah the President can't fire Congress. It would be a horrible thing if the president had that power.

Yes, that 0.012% of the budget is the most important part of it!

It also gets private funding. I am not saying I don't support PBS, hell I loved it as a kid.

The BBC does pretty well with their government funded programming...

I think that's a little presumptuous and assuming to say viewers like me. YOU DON'T KNOW ME, PBS! STOP TRYING TO LUMP ME IN WITH THE REST OF YOUR AUDIENCE YOU ***! xD

Although this thread has gotten a bit off topic, I'll chime in as well. I love PBS. I actually endorse the government funding a portion of PBS. I wish they could fund it more. Although PBS leans a bit to the left, in general I really don't have to be afraid of being subjected to an onslaught of inappropriate, in-your-face liberal garbage like the mainstream TV is. Cuts in government funding to PBS will not result in the end of Big Bird. Don't you think there would be tons of networks standing in line bidding to pick up Sesame Street if PBS could no longer support that show? And that goes for the other good shows as well. PBS can find other ways to make up the missing government funding. PBS will not go away, even with government cuts. Anyway, no surprise who I would endorse. Barack had his chance and although he was dealt a sinking ship when he started, instead of fixing the holes in the ship, he essentially scuttled it. Incompetence. Plain and simple. :roll:

Just going to throw out their, I will be supporting Romney in the election.

I might vote but doubt it, though I'd be able to.
I find it kind of appalling that the statistic is 31% of people will vote early meaning to me that people's minds are already made up. I wouldn't vote until the last possible chance I get.
Voting who should run your country shouldn't be on impulse.
That being said I don't like any candidate but then again when will I ever. South Park has it right on, it has and will always be between a turd sandwich and a giant ******.
I'll let others decided the next 4 years of my life. How little the impact realistically will be. Doesn't matter. But if it was mandatory I would go with Obama.
Wasn't his fault the economy was crap when he entered office, doesn't matter who the president was, everyone would put the blame on him anyways. People need to blame *someone* for all of their problems.
I would only ever become a republican is if I somehow became a millionaire.
