Vote for President: Who will Armenian Club members vote for?

[patlajan]

I think a lot of people forget that part of the reason our economy has underperformed is that the economy of the entire world is doing pretty poorly right now. You can't really blame Bush for that. He's certainly done what little he can to open up foreign markets, which basically means stay out of the way, something Kerry would completely reverse.

Anyway, I'd vote for either Phil Jackson or Pete Carroll.

Not to mention that the executive branch has a very limited powers on the economy anyway. Other than changing interests rates there's not much else the executive branch can do directly. But of course why would they tell you that in one of their stupid political ads.

Not to mention it's an executive officer, who often acts contrary to the president's wishes, that is even able to set interest rates.

Mr. Allan Greenspan basically has 90% control over the interest rates... he is a good man.. knows what hes doing...

The president does not have as much power as the collective electee's in the congress and the senate, and also the appointee's of the judiciary branch. This is a rather sound system, only flawed by human biased, and miscalculations... well come to think of it, Communism is better if we took away human flaw..

The war of the lame political graphics has begun. Surely these will influence my vote.

Ralph Nader.

I'm kinda sticking with my initial decision and sticking with Kerry/Edwards. I actually don't like either of the two, but gotta pick one, right?

Too bad N. Carolina's electoral votes are projected for aBush. But I do urge you to vote for Bowles for US Senate in N. Carolina.

This is why I support electoral college reform, similar to what is proposed by Colorado to have the electoral votes proportionally allocated in respect to the percentage of votes.

(i.e. A state has 10 electoral votes, Kerry gets 60%, aBush gets 40%. Kerry recieves the 6 electoral votes and aBush gets 4 deserve)

This will further make 'democracy' in this country stronger by increasing the value of the individual vote the citizens have. It will ensure that every vote does count, and the minority percentage aren't left out of this democratic process as they are in the present system.

So if aBush gets 60% and Kerry gets 30% then the 30% that voted for Kerry are essentially left out of the democratic process of electing a President under the present system/

We learned that the popular vote doesn't matter in electing a President. This reform will give more power to the individual vote cast by the citizens of this country without imposing on the electoral college.
