Who would you prefer as your president?

[cali]

Suspend reality and vote.

[Ohio Joe]

1. Obama

I read a lot about Chavez here and there seems to be those that worship him as saviour and those that completely demonize him. I expect the truth is at neither spectrum but to be honest, I am not certian which end he goes closer to. I'll stick with Obama.

[cali]

2. yep, he inspires a bizarre passion at both ends of the spectrum

[Mr Generic Other]

3. i would prefer obama with a bit more of chavez's

concern for the common man.
clearly obama is no radical socialist and is in the pockets of the uber-classes, though i believe him to be a decent and smart guy, but until america elects someone more like chavez we will not get a fair shake economically or politically in this country.

[cali]

5. How can you possibly believe he's a decent guy if you concurrently

believe that he's in the pockets of the uber class? So you believe people who are owned by malevolent forces can be decent? That's a passing strange definition of decent.

[Mr Generic Other]

10. i believe people can be sincere and still be misguided.

obama is not dumb but he hasn't had the opportunity to see america through the eyes of all of its citizens. by the end of his term he will know a lot more.

[cali]

14. but being corrupt (and that's absolutely what "being in the pockets of..."

means) is not the same as being misguided.

[Mr Generic Other]

4. how come 2 votes for chavez equals 33% of the vote

when obama has only 4 votes? my math shills aren't great but that seems like 50% to me.

[dysfunctional press]

6. 2 out of 6 equals 33%

well, technically- 33.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333...%
what's the problem?

(4+2=6...you weren't kidding about those math skills- or lack thereof, were you?)

[Mr Generic Other]

11. thanks,

i admit to the bad math skills.

7. I just love open-ended modal auxiliaries in polls. The imagination can run wild.

So, what range of conditions can fill the hole made by the open-ended 'would'?? God, we can drive a whole fleet of trucks through that hole. Let's see ... how about "if I lived in Venezuela"? (Obviously, Obama wouldn't be on the ballot ... and maybe the alternatives were all fascists.) The mind boggles at the range of modalities.

:eyes:

Why do I get the impression someone's fishing for bass?

[cali]

9. did you miss the "suspend reality" directive?

And I'm just curious.

[Donnachaidh]

8. nice push poll

:eyes:

[cali]

16. care to explain how it's a push poll?

and it's obviously a fantasy poll. I made that crystal clear.

[Stinky The Clown]

12. Heh .....

.... and people say **I** do stupid polls.

[NoPasaran]

13. I'm not voting until Chavez produces his birth certificate

[cali]

15. lol

best comment in the thread.
