The 2012 Presidential Election of the United States occurs in a mere 36 days, with President Barack Obama and Governor Mitt Romney the main contenders. Though few Scratchers are old enough to vote, we can discuss which candidate truly deserves the Presidency. On November 6th, two-hundred-forty million potential United States voters have the chance to determine the next President of the United States of America!

... At least until the next election. tongue

-----------

Who supports Mr. Obama, the pro-choice, homosexual-rights, Obamacare-creating, and modest-recovery-involved Democrat from Hawaii?

Who supports Gov. Romney, the pro-life, traditional-values, limited-government, tax-cutting, and regulation-slashing Republican from Michigan?

And if you don't mind, tell us why. smile

Political topics are not allowed. No matter how "moderated" you try and keep it, it will get out of hand and require to many mods to control.

PonyvilleSlugger · 2012-09-30 10:06:17

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think politics are allowed to be discussed on Scratch because Scratch can't discuss anything without insulting eachother it's a controversial topic.

CylonToast · 2012-09-30 10:49:27

Sorry, but politics aren't allowed on Scratch because whenever they have been previously discussed they have always sparked unnecessary debating.

veggieman001 · 2012-09-30 11:06:32

this would definitely be a very interesting topic that would spark some pretty meaningful discussions and debates but it's not allowed hmm

BLU_Spy · 2012-09-30 11:08:10

No politics on Scratch Forums, please.

CheckItNow12 · 2012-09-30 11:16:08

Like mentioned above, we can't mention politics. So sorry. sad

A good discussion but it's not allowed and it isn't as though most of us can vote anyway

Wickimen · 2012-09-30 11:45:24

Though personally I am still going for this one really new innovative party

Actually....the "No Political topics" was a rule from the old Misc forum. That rule was intentionally left off the guidelines of this newer forum with the hope that maybe we could have a civil political discussion. If people want to try it and see how it goes, we can leave it open.

I like that the first post makes a point of quoting sources - I'd like to re-emphasize that.

Wickimen · 2012-09-30 12:39:37

Wait so, we can do this
Wow
Didn't know that
Cool yikes

veggieman001 · 2012-09-30 12:46:23

oh cool

ok so on another forum i go on, we had a thread about the election and we were using THIS POLL and i thought it was pretty cool to see people's results

if anyone cares, my results are here

another thing to note is that if you don't want people to know what state you live in, don't link to your results

Wickimen · 2012-09-30 12:49:30

fjmnknvls,ae
I will take that sometime in the future even though it'll be meaningless by then because the election will be over

I try not to get too involved with politics, as America's meant to be the land of religious freedom, but everyone votes for the person who enforces their religious beliefs on everyone, so it's kinda pointless. I saw a post on Facebook saying "You're not a true Christian if you vote for Obama" because he legalized gay marraige, that's when I lost the will to keep up with this stuff.

I guess what I'm saying is and I'm trying not to bring religion into it, everyone wants to limit everyone else from doing what they want because of what they believe in, and it's getting to the point where certain people are trying their best to appeal to one group to get lots of votes, and for a country that promotes freedom I don't really see that as an option that'd make me feel free. People should just vote for the person who they feel will benefit the country positively, like fixing the economy, or fixing the obesity problem we're so frequently attached to, or fixing the education problems and not sit there and get worked up that somewhere in America gays are getting married.

I bet that if someone polled a ton of adults, like less than 20% would know that Jill Stein is even running. hmm

This being, Jill Stein won't win this election. It'd be much smarter to vote for your next choice, one that you still agree on lots of things with but is one of the major competitors.

I remember some quote like "voting for the third vote is throwing your vote away"
I guess I kinda agree
Also I'd need to move to the US
But I don't agree with Mitt Romney on anything which I thought was cool tongue
