[denem]

POLL inspired by GD discussion. Parties listed alphabetically, for fairness.

[endarkenment]

1. I have no other choice.

[Arkana]

2. I'll be voting to reelect him

Unless the Monster Raving Loony Party fields a candidate of course.

[LynneSin]

29. I heard they are recruiting Sarah Palin

:eyes:

[TheKentuckian]

43. Ike ain't walkin' through that door.

The Republicans haven't fielded a decent candidate in two or three generations.

[Arkana]

47. No, I mean the ACTUAL Monster Raving Loony Party.

[jenmito]

3. Democratic. How 'bout you? n/t

[bigwillq]

4. For the best candidate.

Waiting to see who emerges in 2010 and 2012. I am NOT voting for Chris Dodd in 2010. Not sure who I will vote for yet, but it won't be him.

[RelativelyJones]

5. Given current record voting to re-elect O.

[cutlassmama]

7. me too n/t

[Cant trust em]

6. We'll see how it goes.

I'm 99% sure that it will be Obama, but I can't make any guarantees.

[ccharles000]

8. Democratic

[jesus_of_suburbia]

9. Democrat forever.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

10. I had to go with Putin. After all how many times do we get to see a poll where you

can choose between Democrats, Greens and Muthafuckin Vladimir Putin'? :evilgrin:

[avaistheone1]

11. I will definitely not be voting Democratic for the first time in my life in the upcoming elections

If Obama and the blue dogs keep delivering so little in the way of change.

Bash away.

[LoZoccolo]

19. BAAAAAAAAAW! n/t

[Ikonoklast]

28. No bashing from me. You don't need my help.

You're bashing yourself nicely.

[quiller4]

39. Consider yourself bashed. Do you really expect change overnight?

Do you really think Republicans offer you any hope? Maybe you prefer to throw you vote away on third party haven't-a-snowball's-chance-in-hell candidates.

[Dawgs]

51. LOL!!!!!!!

Yeah, all that stuff (stem-cell research, no new wars, health care reform, energy bill, etc..), that we will never get from any other party just isn't worth it.

[dionysus]

55. you and the other 5 kucinich fans will really show us!!11!!1

:rofl:

[Perky]

12. I am Ralph Nader and I demand access to this ballot

[denem]

15. Denied. Other for the mutha.

[FrenchieCat]

13. I will be voting for President Obama.

He has already done more in the positive than the last two President put together, far as I'm concerned......and he's only 6 months in.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

41. OBAMA APOLOGIST!!!!!!

Ha! Just kidding! :hi:

[Hutzpa]

14. That 1% vote for Sarah Palin

should not be here, I hope the mods can find that person and tombstone them, they are nothing
but a disruptor.

[denem]

16. I said 'That's a joke son' -Foghorn Leghorn

'That gal's as sharp as a billiard ball'.

[jenmito]

17. How will YOU be voting? n/t

[denem]

22. As a resident, without citizenship,

I don't get a vote. It's seven - that's 7 years, including USCIS progressing for citizenship. Married to an American? Tough shit. The queues are lengthening as a result of deliberate policy. Funding cuts, charges doubled and tripled. In the longer term, if the US does not get decent health care, I'll think again about us living in Australia. There's A lot I love about the US and a sad list of 'not so much'. Indifference to Poverty would be high on that.

[Hutzpa]

26. You started this post to say this shit

:eyes:

[denem]

27. Huh?

I was responding to GD threads saying 'I've already decided not to vote in 2010, 2012'. I guess the fact I'm an alien precludes me from political discussion. Hint: We have to buy our Health Insurance just like anyone else who can afford it. Up 29% this year. You bet I care.

[jenmito]

31. So who WOULD you vote for (since you saw fit to ask OTHERS how THEY'LL vote)? n/t

[denem]

32. Democratic. Why the aggression?

Go to GD and sample the I'm not voting threads.

[jenmito]

33. It was an honest question. That's all. n/t

[denem]

35. I live here. I care about America.

Perhaps having lived in foreign counties.I see the positives afresh: The potential, the possibilities, the ideals on the hill. The MSM comes over as a alternative reality. I did not grow up with these channels. The speech which moved me the most was Barack's 'A More Perfect Union' address. I had not thought through yjr implications of the United States connoting enormous challenges in that way before. A Heroic struggle. The relentless image of the US outside Americai a 'Shiny Shiny' society.- The richest nation on earth that has it easy. That and a hair trigger for war and violence . You never ever see poverty or hard core discrimination on TV. Well Hardly ever. You see even less of dissent.

[jenmito]

18. It's now 3% and I bet I know who one of those voters are. n/t

[LoZoccolo]

20. Buncha freaks that should get tombstoned for their butthurt and baaaaaaaaw. n/t

[Odin2005]

21. LOL, according to DU rules there are 5 posters that need banning!

[Hippo_Tron]

60. Some of them were probably joking

[SIMPLYB1980]

23. What no room for Cthulhu!

[damntexdem]

24. Dem. But I simply won't vote for Obama in 2010, no matter what.

;-)

[denem]

25. LOL

[Hippo_Tron]

61. Me neither, I like Obama and all but I respect the separation of powers

:evilgrin:

[GarbagemanLB]

30. Depends entirely on healthcare. If there is no public option, I will not vote for anyone involved wi

the legislation.

[Sebastian Doyle]

40. that's where I'm at

Health care is the dealbreaker. Do this right. Or at least partially right (public option) or don't bother.

As it is, I doubt I'll vote for either of my senators or my congressman in the primaries, because all three have voted too many times on the side of corporatism and cowardice.

Will I vote for any of them in a General Election, if they win the primary?

Time (and their votes) will tell.

[S_E_Fudd]

34. The Democratic nominee...

Who I have no doubt will be President Obama...

[mwooldri]

36. Nick Clegg.

General Election in UK in 2010, virutally guaranteed. David Cameron will win.

If the situation arose that in 2010 I become US Citizen and the government is performing pretty much as it has been so far, then Democratic is pretty much a shoe-in. How hard I would work supporting the candidates would depend on if health care reform did take shape and was real reform that was real beneficial and allowed everyone access to healthcare that they can afford.

[RoadRage]

37. Who are the 2 Trolls who voted for Palin?

Let's see if you're brave enough to show you ass??

I don't think we'll see anyone speak up....

[Moochy]

54. WE DEMAND BLOOD!!!!1111

SHOW YOUR SELVES SO WE CAN PRACTICE SOME YEMEN JUSTICE!!!11111

[quiller4]

38. I'll be voting Democratic in 2010 and 2012 just as I did in 1970, 1972

1974, 1976, 1978, 1980, 1982, 1984, 1986, 1988, 1990, 1992, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2004, 2006 and 2008.

I am a loyal labor Democrat and Obama's record will not change who I am or how I vote.

[Jakes Progress]

42. Yes I will be voting in those years.

[krawhitham]

44. I vote for the Democrat

no matter what

[quaker bill]

45. Straight ticket dem.

always have

[Ganja Ninja]

46. I'll vote for Obama next time around.

Whether I vote for Bill Nelson again is dependent on how he votes on healthcare.

[Jennicut]

48. I am voting for myself. I will finally be old enough to be Prez in 2012.

Just kidding. Obama or bust.

[Blue_Roses]

49. what kind of dumbass poll is this?

I'm so sick of ignorant shit around this place:eyes:
grow the fuck up

[mkultra]

50. ill be voting against the republicans

Just like i always do. happily, it also means i get to vote FOR Obama.

[mrs_p]

52. each election, i go into the voting booth an independent

and come out a down the ticket dem...

[Moochy]

53. careful how you vote!

don't get banned!

[denem]

56. This poll been more or less steady at 86% from about 60 votes

My purpose was to get some sense of hard line Democrats on DU, not to disparage other Progressives. Nevertheless, serious Palin advocates can jump right of the cliff she flung herself from, hoping that somebody with big money hands would catch her.

[invictus]

57. I will end up voting for Obama no matter what happens because the alternative is far worse. However

However, if Obama fails to deliver on a strong public option for health care insurance and ending the wars in the Middle East then I may not campaign for him or contribute financially as I did in 2008.

[denem]

58. Health Care is Huge, Every one else has failed to deliver.

I've seen hybrid single payer in Australia. The Public Scheme is called Medicare, available to all, and more comprehensive that the US scheme of the same name. No body goes broke with cancer or a stroke. No co-pays in Public Hospitals Chronic Illness treated immediately Private 'a la carte' insurance remains, covering areas not covered by Medicare, like single beds or no waiting hip replacements.

[Proud Liberal Dem]

59. How can anybody decide anything about 2010, 2012 "given Obama's record so far"?

When "so far" has only been close to six months? :shrug:
