How Many Here Would Vote For The Following candidates,

[_Runtu]

How Many Here Would Vote For The Following candidates, were they to run for office this political season, and if LDS, what theological justification could you give for doing so?

The first time I cast a vote for president it was for Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Me too! :)

I need to theologically justify my candidate selection now? Well, so far as I see none are pro-Zionists in the sense I'm interested in. God has supported neither the Conservatives or the Liberals in any revelation of which I'm aware.

Who am I kidding? I'm voting Mr. Potatohead just like last time.

Not bad I suppose, for this place. A few serious responses, from Brackite, Nehor, bc, Thama, and Liz.

The rest was attempted derailment. In any case, thanks (even though most here have not voted yet).

I voted for Bill Clinton in 92 for my first vote. It was by absentee ballot while on my mission.

I voted for Reagan because he most fit my personal world view which I assume was and is shaped my my theological views to a large extent. I assume it is why I still remain conservative though I am so disappointed in what has played as conservative over the past 8 years.

Agreed. I think that many Americans on both side of the aisle would welcome another Reagan. I know I would.

I'd love to see a Reagan Mk.II... Just as long as Reagan Mk.II didn't make the same mistake that Reagan made with courting the religious right vote enough to allow them to have a major influence on the party. Maybe then the GOP could go back to being actual conservatives. Baring a Zombie FDR/Kennedy ticket, I've given up on the Democrats ever being real liberals again.

Don't kid yourselves either. The DNC isn't "liberal", they're more center or slightly right of center with the GOP taking slightly right of center to far right.

Hello Liz,

I definitely would. President Ronald Reagan was at least a 1,000 times Better and Greater President, than what George W. Bush has been.

1. What is a "real liberal"?

2. The present, post McGovern Democrat Party, were a general description of it to be given, would probably best be described as an indigenous Fabian Socialist party, with tinges of more extreme neo-Marxist and traditional Marxist ideology influencing some of its membership (Abzug, Dellums, Conyers, Sanders, Obama, Hayden etc.).

The modern Democratic Party is the institutional, poliitcal face of the counter culture.
