All. None. We're too diverse a group to pin down on that kind of question.

-- Brian McLaughlin (brianm@ims.com), February 22, 2000.

True, but Pat Buchanan would probably win a plurality in a straw poll of TB2K.

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), February 22, 2000.

Good question. We may never find out the definitive answer.

Fortunately, we know which candidate IDIOTS support.

-- Charles Underwood Farley (c@u.f), February 22, 2000.


With Flint casting the deciding vote!! Long time no see. I'm only here off and on. I've been flying on MD-80's. Rock climbing was not enough of a challenge.

don't know yet vern. this is a tough one. still researching. definitely not a dem--too socialist for me!!!! i love this country.

now on the other hand i am a bit thrown off because 1) gary bauer endorsed mccain and said their positions on some of the issues that would matter most to many xtians are similar, 2) and james dobson made an unprecedented move of writing a personal letter saying, "I DON'T THINK SO".

should be interesting to figure out.

...We would ALL vote for Jesus Christ (I assume) if had the choice. We are choosing from amongst sinners. John is as close as we get to our ideals. This is earth, not heaven!

.....I thought there was some intellect on the board yet, but if you don't understand that the whole thing is a dog and pony show, you just don't understand. They keep us all quibbling over one party vs. the other, and they truely are all of the same ilk. It doesn't matter who gets in, the post-election agenda never changes. How many times does a politician have to be proven a liar for that to get through to you?

.....Fifty years of monumental mistakes against our country defies all odds. Even a blind squirrel finds an acorn once in a while. Do you really believe that any of these men are good for us?

.....The only thing I support with politicians is that they be tried for their perpetual treason and dealt with justly.

Z1X4Y7 --

Rock climbing! Well, that answers my question as to why you don't live closer to work. Keep up the good work.

Started climbing myself in about 1972; these days, however, I'm lucky if I can lead a 5.8 without thrashing. Used to think (some years back) I was a pretty solid 5.10 (and that was back when 5.10 was at least considered a reasonable effort).

So, where do you climb? Trad or sport?

-- E. H. Porter (E.H. Porter@just wondering.about it), February 22, 2000.


Alan Keyes would get my vote. He and Pat Buchannan are the only two candidates who seem to be discussing the issues not slinging mud. In all of the Republican debates Keyes has literally destroyed the competition. Buchannan has done the same but he's in a hopeless party. Isn't the best man supposed to win? Or the best man in the eyes of the media?

-- Uncle Bob (unclb0b@aol.com), February 22, 2000.


I'm with you Patrick. I vote for none of the above.If they have their way (which they are trying to do), their New World Order will run the show. But somehow I think the citizens of this good country will have something to say about that.

Vern said: "...We would ALL vote for Jesus Christ (I assume) if had the choice...."

We won't have to VOTE for him when he returns, Vern. He will rule the earth from Jerusalem (Jer. 3:17; Isa. 2:2-4), and those who don't want him to rule over them will be destroyed (Zec. 14:12; Rev. 19:15).

Cuddluppy,

Do you know where I could get a copy of Dobson's letter. From what I am hearing about McCain I could not believe GB did what he did. I would like to hear what JD has to say.

Thanks for your help.

Lessee now...another 4 years has gone by and once again we're asked to choose a president from a candidate pool that represents the top 2% of society.

Hmmmmmmmmmm. I choose the only candidate not beholden to corporate interests.

Whoops. Nobody to choose from.

Again

-- Fractal (bobalex@silverlink.net), February 22, 2000.


Alan Keyes...

I do hope that he at least gets the vice presidential nod...

-- Mad Monk (madmonk@hawaiian.net), February 22, 2000.


True, but Hillary would probably win a plurality in a straw poll of Flint.

-- justwondering (justwondering@giveitabreak.com), February 22, 2000.

Unforunately Dr. Keyes, who I have the pleasure of meeting, will not be considered by either leading candidate for a cabinet post or VP. To a large extent, he is viewed as a novelty in the Republican Party; somewhat of an Ivy League side show. (He does have a PHD from Harvard, mind you).

However, if he sticks it out, and I suspect he will, should the Republican race head towards some kind of brokered convention, and Keyes has enough delegates compiled to make a difference, he could become the unexpected player in the nomination. Who knows these days. Keyes consistently is getting 5-7% of the vote, and that translates into delegates in some states.

That's not his game, however. He has his message, and it resonates with more conservatives than are willing to vote for him. So, he continues to foot the trail in his rented motor home, taking phone calls from radio talkshow hosts on his cell phone, and being followed around by one photographer and less than a handful or curious reporters who are all wondering why they've been relegated to reporting on an also-ran. It's unfortunate for Keyes' message, but sometimes we don't reap what we sow.

In terms of VP nods, for Bush, it would be Liddy Dole. For McCain, Colin Powell most likely, with Fred "Dalton" Thompson as an outside shot in order to shore up the South. If that is the case, it would be interesting to see which way Tennessee goes.

-- Buster (BustrCollins@aol.com), February 22, 2000.


The Millennial reign of Christ gets my vote, and we get to reign with Him!

In the meantime, I pray for my leaders, obey the laws, and pay my taxes, which is all a Christian is required to do.

When I'm weak or forget, I vote.

Connie

-- Connie (hive@gte.net), February 23, 2000.


I'm not a doomer, but can I join in? This voting test told me I would be best off voting for Bradley. But I don't live in the US, so it's all academic.

Anyway, isn't Bush destined to become president, because he has the most royal genes?

Keyes In 2000

-- Powder (Powder47keg@aol.com), February 23, 2000.

Keyes! Anyone willing to point the finger at the real problem in our country, our own 'SIN' and call for prayer and repentance gets my vote!

This country was founded on Judeo/Christian morals/values and desperately needs to change direction and return to those morals/values that made this country great.

With Keyes the only candidate willing to put Jesus Christ first in his life & bid for the presidency, likely would be God's choice for president.

Unfortunately, because the US population has become so corrupt spiritually, morally & ethically; selfish and shortsighted they will probably ignor Keyes and vote for whomever they feel will give them the best Dow Jones average for their election vote investment return.

Remember: You don't need to believe in hell to go there, but you MUST believe in Jesus Christ to go to Heaven!

-- Jesus is King (John 3:16-17@heaven.com), February 23, 2000.


Fractal nailed it! I, too, have no one to vote for (again) among the contenders who have been spoonfed to the unaware American public. I have not voted in years and remain firmly convinced that 99% of Americans haven't a clue as to the reality of the political situation in this country. NONE of the current guys running represent the interests of anyone but the monied elites. Period.

-- Ed (enopone1@tampabay.rr.com), February 23, 2000.

Keyes is the heart, mind, and soul of the GOP. It speaks volumes against him that they don't raise him up on a Grand Virtual Mosh.

If they DON'T give him something akin to a "Philosopher Laureat" position at the convention, and make him a REAL part of whatever adminstration shapes up, I'm afraid that all is lost for that party.

I find it interesting that Keyes and Bush are the only two of the current three GOP candidates who AREN'T saying nasty stuff about each other. Maybe there's still a shred of hope.

-- Charles Underwood Farley (chuck@u.farley), February 23, 2000.


None of the above, as always.

-- Steve Heller (steve@steveheller.com), February 23, 2000.

Bob Dole, Today.

-- Someone (ChimingIn@twocents.cam), February 23, 2000.


I meant to say that it speaks volumes against THEM, not against HIM.

-- Charles Underwood Farley (chuck@u.farley), February 23, 2000.

NOTA (none of the above.) I'm going to write in Keyes. If everybody who SAYS they liked him wrote him in, he'd have a pretty good chance.

-- Liz (lizpavek@hotmail.com), February 23, 2000.

Buchanan or Keyes....only problem is they would never win. It sucks, but it's the truth. Life is going to have to go into the shitter big time for people like these to have a chance. On the other hand...do they even have a chance???

"According to Burke's Peerage, the bible of Aristocratic and Royal genealogy based in London, every American election since and including George Washington, in 1789, has been won by the candidate with the most European Royal genes. 33 of the 42 are genetically related to two people: Charlemagne (King), the most famous monarch of what we call France, and Alfred the Great, the King of England. They're the two countries, overwhelmingly, France and Britain, out of which these bloodlines came in Europe."

That is astonishing if you take into consideration the US population at any given time. Statistically, this one is off the chart.
