Nurses,

Please take a second to vote below!

We've polled our allnurses.com members the past 2 presidential elections and nurses got them both right! Let's see if we can predict the election results correctly for a 3rd time!

Of course, these are just fun non-scientific polls.

This thread was only intended to be a poll. Not a political discussion. Feel Free to reply with your choice if you want, but please no political arguments, slams or jabs :) Lets keep this a clean and simple poll ;)

UPDATE: Nov 7th, 2012!

The poll has closed! allnurses.com members have called the presidential elections 3 times in a row correctly! Please carry on your Political Discussions in our Nursing Breakroom US Politics forum!

Ah, no, I don't need to vote for Obama. We don't need to be told who we should vote for. That's why we have the freedom to choose, right? It is race related, and always will be, until people stop looking at the color of skin. We have a democratic controlled house and senate, so how can republicans purposefully deny bills? Where's your proof? All Obama has to do is use executive privilege, and he can pass anything he wants. I don't know about you, but my income was cut in half because of the economy. I would like a link to the commercial if you have it, because I have not seen it!

Oh hun its not a commercial I don't believe commercials its a proven fact report that was leaked. Look it up do the work

I voted for Romey!

I've been noticing a trend....majority of Romney supporters including himself have yet to give a full detail plan on his plans for presidency. All that is said is bashing Obama and to check his websites check the debate footage. And the 47% he's talking bout is you. The middle and lower class. Wake up

Over in the Break Room in the US Politics forum, there are plenty of threads regarding Romney's plans. Also, that's where y'all should be doing all your chatting as many of us have reminded you since this thread started. US Politics

Here is the thread about this election - started last May but full of good stuff!

Romney has given details and you can check out his website if you wish:

Let it be known my scholarships and grants were paid for either by the FL lotto players called Fl bright futures, Fl prepaid college plan, academic related grants n scholarship either from the school I go to or thru the excellent govt administration. Nothing to do with your tax dollars. Now give it a rest and stop being rude n going off on me. Obama 2012

Yo I'm the one being bashed for my free education not the other way around. Thank You. And my point exactly the plan hasn't come out of Romney's mouth its like he is being fed lines like Bush

I think it's a shame that a NONE OF THE ABOVE selection isn't offered as a method of voicing ones displeasure with the offered candidates. I know that the option to write in is offered, but it doesn't quite meet the same standard, as does a NONE OF THE ABOVE choice. I voted for Barrack Obama in 2008 and thought he offered some fresh ideas and hoped perhaps he might turn the country around after the disastrous reign of king george for 8 years. I was just thrilled that Dick Cheney wasn't in the running, and I didn't trust McCain, not that I trust many Republicans, except Gerald Ford, but it was little late for him. I just think that bush made such a mess of things that it would take anyone, more than 4 years to straighten it out, but Obama has made some questionable choices, and decisions that make me wonder if he's the right man for the job either. So that leaves us in quite the conundrum, what to do, what to do. SO, it comes down to the devil you know...

Ohhhhhh PEOPLE. Don't mess this thread up by trying to trash each other's picks.

You are not NEVA gonna change anyone's vote.

My point was that your employer pays for the majority of your healthcare...well over half...and you get a greatly discounted rate on bills because of your insurance. I don't know any nurse who could afford full private pay. To say we pay for our own healthcare is just not true. We are fortunate as nurses to have good benefits.

You have nothing to be sorry for. You have every right to voice your opinion, that's exactly why this forum is here. Your 2 cents, is as valuable as anyone else's.

From lvn2bsoon:

What? School board, as in college, I hope! But, you are liberal, so naturally I don't agree. You are against creation and against abstinence? Good, you pay for those teen girl abortions. I'd rather not. My choice.

Wow, you're line of thinking is scary. You think that not teaching abstinence will cause abortions? I can't even wrap my head around that. You do know that abstinence only education is not effective at all, right? Don't even get me started on creationism. You're studying to be a nurse? Scary.

Let's not disrespect others in this forum in regards to questioning them being a nurse its very rude and tragic smh!!! nor should we debate abortion cuz thats a no win battle. From the school or school board doesn't matter its an investment. Besides public schools are paid for by the govt/tax dollars so let's get on the 10 year olds for getting a free education cuz ur taxes have solely gone up bc of it. Honestly just stop no one is going to change anyone's vote or way of thinking 2 hrs before the poll closes lol
