Who do you trust more?

[JohnLocke]

[corporatewhore]

1. i dont trust people who trust bush with the lives of our soliders

they must have been too stupid or too spineless either way not presidential material

[JVS]

3. I trust them

to fuck things up

[JohnLocke]

4. Kerry

[JohnLocke]

29. ....and Edwards are great people.

[BrokenSegue]

33. Why didn't you just edit it?

I think you harbor a love for Kerry, deep down.
At least you admit they're both good.

[JohnLocke]

34. It was past the editing time (1 hour).

[redqueen]

2. Neither

Free trade jeapordizes democracy.

These clowns don't seem to have a clue!

[Bombtrack]

15. Edwards isn't a free trade democrat

He isn't for protection, but on the scale of most free to most fair he definetly comes way further down on the fair side. Edwards has voted against a half a dozen big trade agreements that Kerry supported, and he has always been against the big enchilada, NAFTA.

[redqueen]

16. He voted for MFN status for China

He also seems to believe these FTA's can be 'amended' to the detriment of mutlinational corporations' bottom lines.

Both indicate he is not trustworthy on this issue.

[Atlant]

5. You forgot "Neither of those two bastards". That'd be my vote. (NT)

[Jai4WKC08]

26. Yep

I don't trust either of them to do anything but feather their own political nests. Trust is no longer a factor in this election.

[DuctapeFatwa]

6. I think both can be trusted to maintain the current policies

That's why they're the front runners - most voters don't have a problem with bush's policies, but distaste for bush himself is rising.

Both Kerry and Edwards are much better speakers, and much more telegenic. Kerry especially has a gift for putting some of the most appalling aspects of US policies into much more nicer-sounding words.

However, Kerry is in danger of being out-terroristed by Edwards, even if only slightly.

Edwards has a Neighborhood TIPS program to empower Americans to report suspect people and activities to the authorities.

Kerry doesn't.

While both support the crusade, both also need to stress how they would aggressively prosecute the war on terror here at home and root out suspected sleeper cells.

[redqueen]

8. Edwards has a TIPS program?!!!!!!!

WTF!

:grr:

[DuctapeFatwa]

9. Yes but his is neighborhood-based

instead of relying on TV repairmen and mail carriers, it empowers neighbors to police each other for suspected potential terror.

[redqueen]

10. Wow, was he inspired by East Germany?

Have I said today how very, VERY glad I am I won't be voting for these phonies in Nov?

lol... page 24... lol

[Debi]

7. Where can I vote...

for Howard Dean?

[jansu]

11. Where's the NONE OF THE ABOVE vote?

Go Howard Dean! Keep the faith all of those who want a change for this country, not just a change in the person! Yes, any Democrat is much better than *, but we have a chance to really change things.....vote your choice, not the polls!

Dean has not withdrawn!

[JasonBerry]

12. Kerry's Smile

This is a minor, but telling, thought. Anybody that can turn their smile on and off like Kerry worries me. I like him okay, but hate the way he can go from "all teeth" to not normal - but downright SOUR in a millisecond. He just doesn't exude trust, to me anyway.

[Bombtrack]

14. Yes, and it's more unnatural because of the mechanics of his face

It's hard to explain, but it's another one of those things that will just put people off about him.

Most people who listen to Edwards or meet Edwards, even if they come in with the anti-lawyer bias, come away believing that he's genuine, and that when you combine that with his life story, they know that he's at his core a good person who got into politics for good reasons, and as Elizabeth Edwards said at his announcement speech, the president should be a person like John Edwards

[flpoljunkie]

28. His lifestory and struggles are exaggerated--i.e., son of a mill "manager"

Edwards is a smooth talker whose persuasive stump speech is apparently appealing to some.

Perhaps, he would make a good running mate with these skills, but he lacks the foreign policy and leadership credentials needed in today's world. It will be a challenge to undo Bush's legacy of failure at home and abroad.

[katieforeman]

46. Die-hard Bush supporters have told me they trust Edwards

more than Kerry. They won't be voting Democrat in the general but they are less likely to hate Edwards if he is their President. This will make governeing easier for Edwards I believe.

[DustMolecule]

13. Trust is EARNED s-l-o-w-l-y over time....

I know that we seem to live in "speed-world" right now, but that's not gonna get me to say that I trust someone who hasn't earned it. I believe it's foolish to do so. Hence, I didn't vote. I'll keep watching the candidates though.

[Capn Sunshine]

47. what's the time frame? 19 years?

[King of New Orleans]

17. I would have voted for both

if you gave such an option.

[eileen_d]

18. About the same, really

So I'd like an option for that. However, anyone who places absolute trust in ANY politician to keep their word is living in a fool's paradise.

[RetroLounge]

19. Neither one (but Edwards more than Kerry)

I trust Dean. Period.

[GreenPartyVoter]

20. Neither, but I'll take whomever is on the ballot

But dang, I do get tired of not getting to vote for who I WANT.

[zonmoy]

21. Neither

since both are part of the cabals that actually run the world.

[pezcore64]

22. umm

wheres the "Neither" option?

thats my vote.

[BL_Zebub]

23. Dean!

[AntiCoup2K4]

41. I agree with the Prince of Darkness

Dean!

[Paulie]

24. Ya didn't want another DU poll where Kucinich is #1

Put me down for NEITHER as well.

[GreenPartyVoter]

27. Poor Dennis get margianalized even at DU?

*sigh*

He supports his party, why can't his party support him?

[revcarol]

48. So right.

Cinderella
or maye
The Ugly Duckling

so sad that the party treats him this way(Still FURIOUS over his dismissal by the two Johns in the debate!!)

[dawgman]

25. none of the above

[Darranar]

30. I don't trust either of them...

my lack of trust is pretty much equal.

The only candidate I trust to any extent is Kucinich, and even with him I have doubts.

[revcarol]

31. Neither.

They'll talk a good game, put in some miniscule change and call it "reform", essentially doing nothing.

Same-o-same-o. Kucinich gets my trust. Walks the walk.

[JohnLocke]

32. Kick

[JohnLocke]

35. 50-50 exactly! This deserves a kick!

:kick::kick::kick::kick::kick::kick:

[IndianaGreen]

36. I don't believe anything that Kerry says, he is without any credibility

Senator Waffles is as trustworthy as Bush. At least Bush has the excuse that he cannot tell the difference between the truth and a lie.

[JohnLocke]

37. "Senator Waffles" - LOL

[IndianaGreen]

39. That's what Joe Lieberman called Kerry

when he criticized Kerry for wanting to have it both ways on the war in Iraq.

[JohnLocke]

42. I respect Lieberman --

He never is evasive and is always honest.m While you or I may no agree with his politics, we can all appreciate his character.

[scarletwoman]

38. Not going to bother voting on this poll

Why would I trust EITHER of them? Do either of them actually speak truth to power?

I trust Dennis Kucinich, someone with proveable integrity. The rest is just a Kubuki show.

sw

[Faygo Kid]

40. Kerry, because I remember VVAW; like Edwards, too.

I always respected Kerry because he had the guts to come back from Vietnam and lead opposition to that war. That wasn't as easy as some of you who are younger might think. (Flame away, but you are wasting your time). I like Edwards very much, but just don't have that 30+ years of familiarity with him. I pray for a Kerry-Edwards ticket.

[katieforeman]

44. I prey for Edwards Kerry

but either way is fine with me as long as we get Bush out.

[Hippo_Tron]

43. I trust them both a hell of a lot more than Bush n/t

[Desertrose]

45. Neither one...Kucinich I do trust though

Tweedle Dee or Tweedle Dum...not much difference....

My obsevation in life has been that there is always more than either or choice.....:shrug:

Peace
DR

[JohnLocke]

49. Kick (51-49)

[ThirdWheelLegend]

50. Can't vote, need a choice for neither..

:)
