I see you disagree that YN is predominantly liberal. Fair enough.

And I don't respond to notsojoey.

Bushsupporter is correct, this poll is bias and is not comparable to the US Democracy. This poll only focuses on youth.

Youth under 18 can not vote and the rest of the college aged youth group doesn't vote. Thus, this poll in no way reflects what the US population would vote.

Freemarkets points are blurry. Yes, the results of this poll are bias because of the age group polled. No, the results of a democratic, national election are not bias.

Which electorate? Almost no group, either geographically, or topically reflects the national electorate. There are many precincts which reflect the political makeup of YN, particularly those that encompass colleges.

I forgot that this poll on YN was as scientifically accurate as an election.

Which is it? Does this poll reflect a true liberals bias? Or is it inaccurate and misleading?

A bit off-topic but here's a list of questions Hillary's refused to answer.

Right, sorry guys. I forgot that this poll on YN was as scientifically accurate as an election. My bad.

Lets be honest FreeMarketLover, you know just as well as I do that the population of YN is slanted more left than the electorate. Anyone to disagree with that is not being honest.

Bushsupporter, I think you confuse bias with democracy. When republicans only get 25% of the vote in general election, I suppose the American people will just be biased?

Plus you have to consider demographics of those who are on this site and the fact that the younger generation is being targeted most by Obama's camp.

Anyone else see the liberal bias of youthNOISE? I do.

Youthnoise does not have a liberal bias. It's members do. Anyway, please don't bless us with anymore of your constant butt-hurting. Thank you.

Romney (my second choice) officially dropped out of the race.

Thank God. Of course I'm biased because I generally vote democrat, but Romney is not the type of man we need in the white house. He was the governor in my state and he has no backbone. He changes his mind based on whatever he thinks people want to here. He came to my high school two years ago because he wanted to set up more schools like mine, and he gave us the worst speech that I have ever heard. Ever. I would much rather see John McCain with the Republican nomination.

Because she is evil

That is a ridiculous statement to make. Hillary's program ideas don't mkae her evil. If you don't want them, don't vote for them. universal health care won't hurt people, it will help, believe it or not.

quote:

but Obama better watch it if He is elected or it even looks like he's gonna be cause Hillary is evil and she will have something done to where know one will know where he is.

Do you know Hillary Clinton? What makes you think you can speculate on what she would do if she lost? Hillary is a politician, but there is no record proving she would make Obama or anyone disappear. Bill didn't disappear when he cheated on her, I think Obama will survive.

quote:

People make bad decisions sometimes, but she's always talking about being 'ready from day one'... well that was day one, and she obviously wasn't ready.

Wasn't ready for what? She is saying at this point in time she is ready to be president on the first day of office. I'm pretty sure you don't understand what she is saying. Besides she has a lot more experience now than she did 5 years ago.

I heard on the radio that Romney (my second choice) officially dropped out of the race. That leaves two Republicans...and I certainly hope the United States doesn't pin its future on the guy who has media slots claiming that because the Declaration of Independence says that humans are entitled to "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness," abortion is therefore unconstitutional.

i belive that pinning your hopes on Obama is unrealistic lets slice race out of the picture, Hillary has more experience and sorry to burst bubbles but washington and congress has been played the way it is for yrs and id rather have a canidate that can play the game. Obama thinks that he can change washington he belives that he is the savior of america but ignores the blatant history in front of him, dont get me wrong hes a good man but Hilary is a better one.she holds back personal rhetoric because whining about what was is ridiculous as a nation in order to diverge from the edge of recession we need a solid person. and lets get real obama is amazingly enlightened because he steals from the great black orators of the civil rights movement. Vote for Hilary the canidate that dose not just spaek change but has the audacity to make it happen.

If I were to vote which I am not for personal reasons.

If I was I would not vote for Hillary. Because she is evil and the fact that she wants to garnish peoples wages if they don't give into her universal health care, which by the way is unconstitutional and can not be legally done. And also she is talking about getting the governorments help when it comes to the housing stuff, which by the way is communism. She is nothing but a communist, I mean look at it she wants the governorment help and universal health care. Universal health care doesn't work look at places oversea, having governorment help doesn't work look at oversea.

I wouldn't vote for John McCain either because he's just a Republican by name only. He is gonna raise gas prices so that he can fund global warming. He's nothing but a Liberal, he's a RINO.
You can go to www.republicansinnameonly.com and find out who's a RINO.

I'm not sure about the rest, but Obama better watch it if He is elected or it even looks like he's gonna be cause Hillary is evil and she will have something done to where know one will know where he is.

Because it seemed like a good idea then? That vote was more than 5 years ago, back when Bush was still popular. A lot of people have changed their minds since then.

I don't care; I'm still holding against her stuff that happened fifteen years ago. People make bad decisions sometimes, but she's always talking about being 'ready from day one'... well that was day one, and she obviously wasn't ready. She's a liar and she's married to a liar and I hate her.

And then there's all her "I'm not for the war!" bs; 'THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU VOTE FOR IT!?'

I'd vote for Obama. I like him best. McCain would be my second choice.

I don't think I've heard Romney speak, but I wouldn't vote for him simply because he has like 10 signs on EVERY street corner. Completely unnecessary.

I can't STAND Hilary Clinton. Everything about her makes me sick. Have you ever noticed that when somebody asks her a yes-or-no question, she'll dance around it or turn it around and make it about Obama? She won't answer it straight up. And then there's her stupid fake little smile; when somebody asks her something difficult or points out that Obama is winning in a state or whatever, she just smiles and laughs as if it's a big joke or the whole world is a bunch of little kids who can't be bothered with grown-up politics. And then there's all her "I'm not for the war!" bs; 'THEN WHY THE FUCK DID YOU VOTE FOR IT!?' I swear to god I'm moving to Canada if she becomes president.

Sure, he stands for all that now, but do you know what he'll believe in a year? Two years? Romney has flip-flopped on many issues just to get the Republican nomination. Before the election stuff happened, he was pro-choice and in favor of gay marriage. Now he opposes both abortion and gay marriage. I don't think I'd want someone that arbitrary as president.
