Greetings Bloggers!
Welcome to SoftVote's Presidential Blog (SPB), a place where Americans (and other nationalities as well) can openly talk about their views towards anything related to the 2004 U.S. presidential elections.
Allow me to introduce the team....let's start with me. My name is Truck and you will see me now and then pocking my head throughout SPB as the Chief Blogger. Then we have Wild Bill and Elouise who are members of SPB and will be regularly monitoring the commentaries. We are all eager to blog and hopefully other bloggers will want to join our community.
SPB's goal is not to have a political arena dividing blogger against blogger, but to have a common place where different points-of-view can be discussed. We certainly do not intend to have a platform for bloggers to argue amongst each other.
We'll be posting interesting findings like articles, excerpts, political jokes and, of course, add our own thoughts on it. We want to hear your opinion. We also encourage you to post your own ideas and contribute to making this an exciting experience.
Truck
Chief Blogger

First, Nader is not the Green Party nominee, which is why he will not be on the ballot in as many states as Michael Badnarik, the Libertarian Party nominee. go to www.badnarik.org and you will see there is a vibrant active campaign with strong grass roots support. Mr. Badnarik could easily outpace Mr. Nader by the time November rolls around and many pundants are saying it is Badnarik who can cost Pres. Bush the election!

it's interesting that your polling software excludes Michael Badnarik, Lbertarian Presidential Candidate, who is on all 50 state's ballots, but includes Nader, who will not be.
what kind of biased polling software are you running here???

I wanted to take the poll but could not. I support Michael Badnarik, Libertarian, and am very decided about it.
Please include him. He will be on all, or almost all ballots this November, unlike Nader, who will probably not be on even half of the ballots.
I want to take the poll, but none of your choices was my answer.
Thank you.

Please don't vote Libertarian in a national election. Voting libertarian in local elections is great to start grassroots foundations, but in the national election, you are just stealing votes from Bush.

Bush has failed and that's all I have to say.

We have had a good solid man in the White House and I hope we keep him.

We are in Georgia and sure will be voting for President Bush who we admire for his courage in doing what he felt was right to protect this country, his loyality to his wife, his being a good father,his love of animals, his great humor and the fact that he laughs at himself, the true
human emotion he showed for 911 and when visiting our service men and women in Iraq. The fact that he is a Christian and gets on his knees every single morning to ask for guidence from God above
lets us know how special he is. Have you heard him curse as other presidents? Has he betrayed his wife as other presidents? Has he degraded the
office of the White House as other Presidents? We
firmly believe that time and history will tell that George W.Bush was and is America's greatest
President!! May God be with us all......

I have to wonder why the above people have so much animosity toward the opposition candidates Badnarik, Cobb, et al.
To read the Democrat and Republican platforms for this year, you would think that everyone in the US wants more war, higher taxes, more spying on Americans. I rarely find prospective voters that feel that way.
And yet, The Bush & Kerry platform(s) promise just that!
It would seem that the ONLY reason for a voter to choose one of the leading candidates is the hope of a government job or other handout.
Otherwise, why all the anti free elections hysteria?

I don't understand the disparity between the numbers in the gerneral polls and this Web site. I guess it has to do with the demographics of internet users. In any case, the race is much closer than your numbers indicate. I have voted Libertarian in the last two elections but don't feel that I can afford to throw away my vote this time. George Bush and his administration have, in three short years, nearly wrecked this country. Bush is a puppet. Dick Cheney and his cronies are running the show. Their agenda should be obvious to anyone of average intelligence. Look at what's happened to the economy (record deficit), foreign policy (a doubtful war with no allies) and the plight of the averige citizen (take your pick among multiple malaise: job loss, erosion of income, record individual bankruptcies). Meanwhile, the rich are doing very well, thank you. Why would anyone support this twit? Kerry, at least, has the capacity to reason. Bush is an idiologue and a "good old boy". Wake up! You don't have to be a flaming liberal to vote for ANYONE BUT BUSH. I'd vote for someone other than Kerry this time except that it's extremely important to get this loose cannon out of office. I'll go along with the poster that urged you not to throw away your vote. Just don't throw it no a person who has established himself as a total shill for the moneyed class.

George,
I'm with you 100 percent regarding George W. Bush. Unless people are blind, I cannot understand how any reasonable person would vote for him. Our country now is not the country I came to love during my youth. I'm now 70 years of age and this is the first time that I've live through a period of time where I was deeply concerned for my country. What we need most of all is to have a decent respect for mankind around the world and it appears that we have forgotten how. I'm afraid that having four more years of George W. Bush might be fatal for us.
