Totally off-topic poll

I have an equal chance of voting for either, that is to say, I'm 14 and have a 0% chance of voting.

I think this year is the first that I heard people say "its not that Im voting for anyone as much as Im voting against the other one"

That's not news. I've had people tell me that every year, to vote for the one I hate least....but no! I have my dignity!

Most recent CNN exit polls show 13% for Bush vs 87% for Kerry and still counting.

Interesting, looks like my theory about some connection between using of internet and voting for democrats could be true. Or maybe it is just Dom2 crowd?

Anyway, it may be too early to tell, we shall see when there will be at least 20-30 votes.

Please no offence to all other players, this restriction is purely due to specific political nature of this poll, otherwise the results will not be meaningfull.

Then you should have made the poll results viewable by non-voters as well.

Yeah - there were voters in Florida Last time around who said "MY vote won't count for anything" as well Norfleet.

I don't vote, as I believe this to be the best way to register my disillusionment with the political parties in this country, who no longer stand for anything other than being elected.

(As evidenced by "New Labour" being composed of the same people as "Old Labour" but with an entirely different manefesto! Either they all changed beliefs overnight, or they want power more than anything they believe in. Either way I don't want to vote for any of them, and believe the Conservatives are no better.

If I was an American I'd vote to remove Bush.

Hmm is there such option? Or you mean adding "non-USA observer" vote option?

Whatever the case I agree, it would be a good idea. However I have created this poll on the spur of the moment, haven't really put any thoughts into it, other than the fact that I wanted to quickly check that theory that I've meantioned.

Although Kerry may be a wimp, he is certainly not the embodiment of evil , as G. W. Bush has proven himself to be. Together with Ashcroft, Wolfowitz, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Tenet and Rice they have now (with the recent knowledge that the atrocities commited by soldiers upon prisoners in Iraq and Cuba are by no means isolated mishaps but sympomatic results of a systematic means-justifies-the-ends utilitarianism and demonization or dehumanization of that which is deemed a foreign threat being the dead giveaway) succeeded in drastically harming America for what will certainly prove to be 50 years or more (not to mention all the other damage to civil liberties, human rights, and other once-upheld American ideals, as well as ecological and economical damage).

I think Americans must vote for Kerry, since they have created an electorial system (which might have made sense in the 18th century but is certainly senatorial and aristocratic (in the original sense of the word) in both origin and nature) to which they dogmatically adhere and which unfortunately disbars faith in "direct representation" by allowing at present only 2 nationally funded parties (a non-trivial consequence of which is the fact that should there be one less party (a total of 1 instead of 2) we would have a dictatorship).
