I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

No doubt, but he will likely win in 2014, unless something changes drastically. There are a lot of inarticulate idiots here.

You know I'm beginning to see a trend developing. Over the last couple of decades we have had movie stars, talk show host, sports figures and god only knows what else running for public office. It seems people would be smart enough by now to vote for the better candidate instead of the coolest ,most popular,most photogenic or best athlete.

About 10 years ago, he was going to run as governor of Alabama on the Republican ticket, because he said taxes where too high.  He made a lot of money and found out how high taxes are for the wealther people.  Now, he likes Obama and wants to run as a Democrat.  Which way is the wind blowing.  He was a good basketball player at Auburn and in the pros, but that only made him a celebrity.  I live in Auburn.
