U2 fans' political views

[mkjc]

I have always been a little curious how U2 fans breakdown politically. Are you in favor of Bush, Kerry or Other in the upcoming US presidential election. You don't necessarily need to be voting in the election to respond to the poll.

C'mon folks, don't be shy. Your responses are anonymous.

Also, if you can figure out a way to vote twice please don't do it. Remember it's not very scientific. Let's just have a little fun with it.

Thanks.

I'm amazed it hasn't already. I hope it doesn't get moved. I figure this is the forum with the most traffic. To get a good sample a lot of traffic helps.

I will be 18 20 days after the election, o well but id go for Kerry.

What's the margin of error in this poll?

 

[Jamila]

While I always believed the results of this poll personally, it's amazing how you would never know this from reading the posts in FYM.

There's a real reactionary atmosphere over there that obviously DOES NOT REFLECT THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE TAKING PART IN THIS POLL!

Thanks for revealing what I always knew about the overwhelming majority of U2 fans.

 

[madonna's child]

[Jack In The Box]

BARTLET FOR AMERICA!!!!

I'm not american.

But KERRY. No doubt about it. Bush is a monkey on the loose.

Being a non-American, you have accurately
described Bush. He's does look like a chimp.
He may look like a monkey, but that's not fair to monkeys.
Monkeys are very intelligent. Bush lacks
in the intelligence dept.
Only thing Bush was successful in his whole life was being a "party animal."

You are 100% correct.

I was unfair to the poor monkeys...

LOL

Actually I think that only applies to interferencers. It would be interesting to poll U2 fans outside of this website. Yet, if I had to guess, I would say the majority, although definitely not overwhelmingly, of U2 fans would vote for Kerry.

 

[Michael Griffiths]

I think if you created a poll like this for non-US U2 fans, the results would definitely be overwhelmingly in favour of Kerry, while if you limited it strictly to the US, it may be more even. According to the latest polls here in Canada, people would vote for Kerry by a 3-1 margin. I hear the same things about Europe, too. I think the main point here is that perhaps now more than ever before in the world's history, this US election has more of a direct impact on the rest of the world.

 

[mkjc]

OK. Let's try to get a few more responses to make this seem like somewhat of a respectable poll.

 

[martha]

88 votes in an EYKIW poll is pretty respectable.

 

[GibsonGirl]

I'm in favour of Kerry. He's not perfect, but he's better than Dubya. Now, let's just hope that our friends down south make the right decision and get rid of that buffoon.

 

[Phalanx]

I can summarize most Kerry voters in this way:

They're not voting for Kerry, but against Bush.


Neither candidates impress me at all. Bush continually beats the drum of fear, and Kerry is a slut for votes; he'll say whatever he needs to in order to appease the masses. The presidency race has turned into a smear-fest; I think it's digusting and unnecessary, but I guess because so much is counting on this election that "the ends justify the means". Whatever. Smart money says the elections are going to be a nice mess.

 

[TheBrazilianFly]

Thanks for saying that non-americans can vote on the poll too. My vote goes for Kerry.

Yeah that's more than likely. Dubyah has been working really hard during the past 4 years on his self-ousting campaign.

 

[Jamila]

I don't know about anyone else, but I'M VOTING FOR KERRY, not against Bush.

I don't think it's fair for anyone to second guess why any of us are voting the way that we are voting.

That has been a problem with the Bush side - they're very quick to be judgmental of those who don't agree with them.

DEFINITELY TIME FOR REGIME CHANGE....

I'm a Kerry Babe

 

[MacPhisto066]

Kerry

 

[username]

I take the view of the most recent episode of South Park: we are voting between a giant douche and a turd sandwich. Is this really the two best candidates we could come up with?

 

[U2democrat]

i love john kerry. love love love him! i've loved him since i started supporting him for president 2 years ago. i'm pro-kerry AND anti-bush.

 

[deltau922]

I would like to see U2 perform at Bush's inauguration in January.
