In year 2008, if both Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush were both allowed to run for president, which candidate would you vote for? A few co-workers and I were having this debate this evenig at work. I want to see what some others think about this.

I would vote for no more ridiculous threads.
No more stupid threads in 2008!
I wish I followed politics enough to make an educated decision. As a political moron, I'd vote for Bush, simply because I am sick of the stereotypical democratic social services platform. I grow tired of providing Wic, Welfare, foodstamps, Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security, when I see none of the benefits.

I'm not old enough to vote but bush is pretty cool i guess
I put in a vote for Bush. I immediately regreted it. My reasoning was that the Daily Show is getting pretty good due to Bush; then I remembered that SNL and the Late Show were really amazing when Clinton was in office.
In reality, I will never, ever vote for a Clinton or Bush again. It's getting to be America's own version of elected royal families. No HC, no Jeb.
You need a suicide option in your poll.

I definitely would vote for Clinton. The economy was in peak condition. The national defecit was almost erased, and we had a surplus each year. The stock market was at an all time high. These were not direct results of Bill Clinton, but his presidential decisions helped lead to these accomplishments among others. Bush on the other hand, has been maybe the worst two-term president in history.

I agree. Clinton wasn't that bad of a pres. actually, just a little extra-curricular activities that gave him a crappy image...
His wife on the other hand... if she were elected/even on the ballot, I would commit suicide...

I would vote for a Jon Stewart/Darrelll Hammond ticket before almost any other.
Just imagine the snarky comments and spot on impersonations at world summits!

If, instead of a Presidential debate, they had a fight to the death...
I would vote for the loser.
Get it?

If Phil Hartman was still alive I'd probably do Clinton and since Will Ferrell is to big a star to be on SNL, I am at a loss. So I hope a Ross Perot/Bob Dole ticket appears, Dana Carvey and Norm MacDonald.
Lets see Clinton falls a$$ backward into the fake internet boom and Bush is spending like a drunken sailor.

Clinton hands down.
A chimp on crack could do a better job than Bush.

Do I honestly HAVE to vote for one or the other?
Neither one does what they say, neither one has an ideology I agree with, and neither one seems to have any clue about how a country should be run economically (TG for Alan G.).

Our economy has never been better than when Clinton was president. Our country has regressed in many areas under the leadership of Bush.

1- Clinton can hardly take credit for the economic boom during his early term.
2- His economic greatness saw our economy decline by the time he left office. Hmmm...
3- What is alleged in the first sentence is not on the same subject as what is alleged in the second. Putting them next to each other does not a valid comparison make.

I love the folks who think a presidential election is the end-all be-all to the economy.
Makes me wonder why Econ isn't something that is taught since grade 3.

1. You may not need them now, but you may need them in the future.
2. Would you rather the people that actually need these items to survive just not have them anymore?
There are hardworking people out there that go through tough times and need gov't assistance. For these, I have no problem paying taxes to help them. It's people who can work but choose to find a loop hole and get a slice of gov't cheese that should be thrown in the gutter.
Back on topic. I chose Clinton. Bush is just one **** up after another.
Isnt USA doing good? and is not the economy up to one self? Bush cant decide how much the normal person earns.

I believe the American dream is still alive and good. I am walking proof of it. Lower middle class family, FB scholarship to undergrad, paid my way through grad school and worked 8 years getting experience. Started my own company that is flourishing nicely. If you work hard, make the right decisions in your education you can be finiacially successful.

Pssst. Bush authorized the NSA to spy on Americans in 2002 without court orders. The military got jealous so now they're spying on Americans too, without any oversight.
And about time I say! Those uppity Quakers, what with their "Peace Houses." We know what that is a code word for.

*cough*Ahem!!!*cough* PA is all your. Lack of Jersey (largest oil storage facilities outside the KSA, Port Elizabeth, pharmaceutical production, etc. will cripple your economy bigtime. We have an Econ Pass. ;)

What do you radicals in New Jersey have to hide? Stop making excuses. I bet it's a plan by al qaeda to legalize gay marriage.

Hehehe. Why, we aren't hiding a thing! ;) We even chased out our gay governor for fear of being called New Gayseyans.

Oh, I dunno.
George Pataki's supposed to be running for president in 2008. That's about as scary as John McCain or Mitt Romney (governor of MA), but for different reasons.

While I'm not too fond of most Democrats, I would vote Clinton in a heartbeat over any current republican elected official, ESPECIALLY Bush.
Under Clinton we weren't being driven into huge deficits, violent crime drastically went down, unions got support, our environment wasn't being completely sold-out to big business, great amount of job creation, medicare was supported and social security were supported...
Clinton is far from my dream candidate though... Jesse Ventura is more along the lines.
