    With all the opposing opinions about politics going on here I got to thinking what people would do if they could go back 4 years.

    This is probably going to completely annoy the much smarter and political posters (and completely negatively change some peoples opinions of me but oh well) but I'll tell you why I ask.

    I'm a registered independent but usually lean to the left. In the 2008 election I wasn't sold on either candidate. I knew my vote wasn't going to count for anything but I didn't feel I could vote for either one so I sent in a write in vote.

    So... if you could go back and do it again, who would you vote for and is it different than the person you voted for in 2008?

    I voted Libertarian in 2008. Did not think McCain/Palin was a strong ticket and I disagreed with a lot of their platform and personalities.

    I'm probably going to vote Romney this time around, even though it won't count since I'm in California. I feel more strongly aligned in Romney's vision versus 2008, even though I probably am more in line with Gary Johnson, I feel Romney would probably be a better President.

    I would rather go back to 2000. Is that an option instead?

    I really had to find a positive, as everything I feel about barry is sooooo dark. I think if I could go back, I would have done everythingin my power to see that Hillery was given the nod. The Rs just stank it up, but barry is the antichrist. He will make us like greece.

    Intersting question.

    I was sort of for Obama until McCain choose Palin, then I was really for Obama.

    After 4 yrs, not impressed with Obama and old man McCain lived for 4 years which means Palin would have been irrelevant for 4 yrs. I like McCain and think he would have done an equal or better job than Obama. But can you trust a person with the country who picks Palin as a running mate . . . feels like 2008 all over again.

    So if I'm interpreting your fancy words correctly... You think Paul Ryan is pretty?

    President Obama has been even worse than I thought Candidate Obama would be.

    Nice interpretation (I love the world according to spud) . . . rolling with your interpretation, Ryan is a male so I wouldn't say pretty as much as hot (in a anal sexually frsutrated way). So he is hot but smarter than Palin, so good call by Romney, I'm voting for Romney.

    BTW-who are you voting for? Or are you going to be spud and write in again?

    Sure it does. You say he's a bad President. His approval rating disagrees with you.

    Agree on trade Oden.

    Vote-wise, no change.

    You continue to insult my intelligence on this board. But, I continue to punk you on a consistent basis.

    Stupidity on so many levels.
