Subsim Presidential Election

JU_88 · 06-03-12, 06:31 PM

you only need 2 poll options

1) More of the same
2) Third party

I cant vote what with being Brit

. but if I were an American, I'd sure not be voting for Obamney, right now I'd be backing Ron Paul (until he gets the boot at Tampa) then I geuss I'd go third party. Id vote for ANYONE other than Robama, those two idiots will just administer 'more of the same' until America cant take it anymore. One of them will win (which one is totally irrelivent), but least i could say i had no part in it.

What are the requirements for voting in the States? My GF has her US passport but has never lived there. I take it there are residency requirements?

I dont know, but im pretty sure you must be a U.S citizen regardless of weather you are at home or living overseas.

Lol..

...well I just asked her and although she is a US citizen she is apparently not allowed to vote. I guess she's stuck with our pillocks instead.

Normally you have to be not only a US citizen but a resident of one of the states/territories. Residency requires an address and proof that you live there.

If someone is a US citizen but living overseas (Military excluded as they are covered under different rules) they may be able to vote.

In this case the citizen would have to fill out a Federal Post Card Application which can be obtained from www.fvap.gov.

They would then be issued an absentee ballot.

In order to vote in the 2012 election they would have to apply by 10/15/2012 and request a ballot no later than 10/30/2012.

A vote for Obama is a vote against neoconservatism. Team R has clearly not learned it's lessons from 2008 and does not deserve the executive office. As such, I am proud to vote against them.

Heck i'll vote the Buna-STEED other ticket too. But only if I get to fly armed government drones from my home.

Armistead · 06-03-12, 06:54 PM

I voted for Obama last time because I couldn't stand Bush and McCain with Palin.....4 more years of Bush with the dumbest VP in history. I will cringe with I vote for Obama this time, can't vote for an out of touch elitist with a $500 haircut who believes Joseph Smith had an angel direct him to a buried book written on {what else} golden plates and he was able to translate them into a book. You can't grow up in such a radical fundy system without it effecting how you govern and Romney has proven he is ready to push spiritual morality over the constitution.

It won't much matter in the end anyway....shame we all have to cringe when we vote.

I don't like either of the choices that much, but.... wait, what? My vote shows Romney, I meant to vote for Obama. Argghh... this ballot is too complicated!!

I took the test at ontheissues.org - good site, as it doesn't only mention the candidate's election propaganda but also shows their voting history on certain issues.

The result:

Romney got only 3% - less than Palin

If Roseanne Barr doesn't run, who got some pretty good ideas about Wall Street

, I'd write-in Ron Paul. While he got some wacko economic ideas, he's the one I agree the most on social issues. At least he's a guy who differs the most from the others, a change I could believe in.

I would vote Ron Paul. I don't agree with him in many things but still he is better than Obama or Romney (or Robama as someone said...).

EDIT: Not most, MANY

Undersecretary of Health for Canines Honorable Niki McBee?

Voted for Other...not happy with the current choices. Obama's foreign policy is pretty much the same as the previous administration's, as is their stance on civil liberties, lobbying, Wall Street regulation.

Romney's far from the worst the GOP has to offer, but he's no Jon Huntsman.
