Obama v. Huckabee - If you had to vote for one, who?

Obama...Huckabee is okay, but he somethings he says scares me...and **** having a national sales tax upwards of 23%.fat_rob

You do understand that chances are we won't be paying much more? That businesses will most likely lower prices on their products for them to sell well.

I'd vote for Obama before ever voting for Huckabee, seriously Huckabee? what the hell are people in Iowa smoking, he wants to make a 23% sales tax wtf?ConManWithGun

I'd rather have a sales tax than income tax.

I'd rather have a sales tax than income tax.

Indeed, from what I understand, Huckabee wants the complete elimination of income taxes and the disbanding of the IRS. The sales tax seems outrageously high, but it is that waybecause it is needed to recoup revenue after phasing out income taxes.

I don't want people to think that he wants to have both income taxes AND this sales tax.

Obama.

...Mike Hukabee as president would be like George Bush 2.0, and Ido not want that to happen.

Huckabee will probably not win the nomination.quiglythegreat

Indeed, it looks like McCain is starting to make a resurgence.

Obama for one Republicans imo have done awful in the past two terms with Bush at the helm.. Its time to let the democrats have a go at it.

sSubZerOo

They had a go at it-Look at congress. They're as bad as the republicans.

Obama, still don't think he wins it, but being a lifelong Arkansan the U.S. REALLY doesn't need Huckabee. He won't be the nominee either though.btaylor2404

Hopefully, it will be McCain if not Thompson.

Obama, definitely.

At least I agree with some of the things he says. If I had it my way, though, Mascis for president.

my local paper described Huckabee as a reverend turned politician. No thanks. Nothing against reverends but they dont exactly sound qualified to be president.tazzydnc

Well he was also Governor of Arkansas, like Bill Clinton was.

Who ever is least likely to believe the Earth is 5,000 years old. Hint, Huckabee is a Southern Baptist minister.Darthmatt

seems like you are making your decision based on religion and not logical decision even if Huckabee is a terrible decision. Obama claims to be Christian also; I don't know if he acutally is though.

Well, I'm a libertarian, so Obama is probably my best choice out of the democratic candidates, but I absolutely hate his ideas for universal healthcare and whatnot. However I would never vote for a theocratic, evangelical fool who doesnt even believe in the theory of evolution. So Obama. But I doubt Huckabee will get the nomination.The_Laser08

so you are saying that people who dont believe in evolution dont use logic? :roll:

Obama. The last thing we need is another religious nut in the white house. Church and state do not belong together.dgbiker1

you do know obama is muslim right. and we are in a muslim war? i do not under any means support the war i just belive john edwards is a better canidate

Obama converted to Christianity, supposedly.

yep, pretty much.

Neither. I wouldn't vote Republican due to way they've handled things the last 8 years and i wouldn't vote for Obama because the guy barely has any kind of experience running any kind of government. I'll wait and see if Bloomberg makes a run, then I'll go independent.elblanquito_81

Unless you're counting her time as first lady, Hilary Clinton has only a year or two more experience than Obama (I know you didn't mention her, but shenever seems to get any flack for lack of experience so I don't see why oboma should. And why would you go independant? Isn't that pretty much the equivilent of not voting?

Am I the only person who thinks Obama's lack of government experience is a good thing? Their are some extremely nasty chains and habits going on in the government right now as a result of the veteran politicians and staff remaining in some kind of political power. They NEED to be broken.

That being said, Obama takes this easily. He still hasn't said much relating to Peak Oil buthe is CLEARLY superior to the rest of the Democratic lot and its political "wannabees".And he's MILES ahead of the Republican's half brained morons.

The best part of your post was the sig, but it still needs more Tomo. Just sayin'.

If you haven't heard yet...

Obama and Huckabee won the Iowa Caucuses.

I'm just curious, if they were running today for president, who would you vote for if you had to choose one?

Neither of them are my favorite picks but Huckabee is just too "holier than thou" for me. Plus I'm not a fan of religious people being in power...Obama is less religious at least. Plus Obama could have kucinich for a VP (long shot...but hey...it's going to be dangerous being the first black president and Kucinich is the best possible life insurance in that case).

I wish Ron Paul had won but wishing doesn't make it happen :(

D9-THC

Kucinich is a joke. Do some research and find out what he did to Cleveland. And then come back and tell me if you want him as a VP. Plus, I'm voting for Huckabee, I like his courage and policies.

Neither. Obama is lib and Huckabee is a closet lib. Huck's economic policies are garbage. I want to full breed conservative. Not a half-breed.john_doe2

Conservatives are bred? :?

Ugh, I liked that show. But of all the characters in it, Tomo was the only one I actually despised. She's selfish, cruel, morally twisted, and socially akward. Now maybe some will complain i'm being too critical, but what can I say? Her attitude reminded me too much of people I used to know and thus hits a little too close to home for me. Everyone else was fine, even Chiyo, who I think is a vastly annoying character, is better than her. But hey, AD builds itself on a diverse cast.

On topic: I'm getting a kick out of all the people saying we should vote Republican because of the Democratic Congress recent underperformance. Just ignore how things went under the Republicans of course. But hey, the Republicans are "strong" right? They invade lots of countries at once and create all sorts of new enemies for Americans to deal with now, and 20 years into the future. It's funny how people apply the physical concept of strength to politics.

I think anyone who's watches the Daily Show with Jon Stuart would testify just how inept congress was under both leaderships. I swear to god, I've seen them quote Doctor Seuse on multiple occasions.

[QUOTE="blasto65_basic"]It is a snake. I think Obama is just to youg for Pres. Hilliry I dont trust as far as I could toss her. Huckabee to religious for may taste. Mitt just wont make the cut.Bromz

Huckabee, because he's "Chuck Norris Approved."

No but honestly I'd pick him because Obama doesn't have enough experience to run the country, IMO.
