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!

The point is without Obamacare n the administration that individual would not have that healthcare coverage. Give credit where credit due. I'm so over certain ppl claiming that it is there personal taxes that have acheived this. Once again if u don't like how things are ran in this country leave no one is begging u to stay here be appreciative n stop being selfish

Uhmm..It is OUR personal taxes. And it's "their" not "there." Government programs are funded by what?....the tax payers. I'm guessing money falls from the sky or it just magically appears? You obviously do not pay taxes. This is basic government education learned in high school. Try harder...

You're welcome.

You had nothing to do with that. Idk what you expect. Go somewhere else with that bitterness. It's God and Obama not you.

You really need to stop with the bitterness. You have not contributed to any of the success that others have gained thru the current administration nor should someone thank you. All I see is you getting mad cuz someone is getting ahead in this world and since it isn't you ur mad. Obama is still YOUR president for the next 4 years so you and fox news needs to accept it. The hatred is sickening

Well said. :)

My bad I guess I was to busy getting a 5.5 GPA in high school to care. And I don't need u to correct my grammar since I'm writing these on my phone. Thanks :)

Did u ever think your hours were cut back because of all the new nurses being hired? How bout you don't blame OUR president for your lack of hours at work. Blame the organization you work for

LOLOL!!!! You are funny!

the WORLD is in an economic crisis -it's not just the USA and it's not just due to Obama. "People like me"? I'm proud to say that I am the kind of person who cares about a woman's right to choose, accessible healthcare for everyone (not just the rich like Romney who can afford to pay for cutting edge treatments )and who cares about my brothers and sisters who are struggling and the planet that is being raped and pillaged. I'm PROUD to say that I'm that kind of person.

You have issues.

Not even stating a position here, because inflammation won't help anything-as we know as nurses.But my rhetorical questions are simple, and they stick with me because there has been no good answer from our leadership in years. I charge the lack of reaching across the isle to BOTH parties. As I said, there is so much more we all have in common, than separates us.

How can we spend our way into prosperity, printing money and credit we have no foreseeable way to pay back?

How can a moral wrong be a civil right? Take that at face value.

If the sanctity of marriage that has been naturally between one man and one women is to be done away with, why stop at same sex- there's a man in Iowa who wants to marry his Ford Mustang(how would that hurt us?)

If we're now apologizing to terrorists, and announcing to them our exit dates from countries on the verge of civilization, why don't we just add then to the national debt too, and send them some foreign aid while we're offering all the support-as well as shrinking our military in a time where our enemies are increasing there's-including nuclear?

What is the motivation to work hard, struggle through school while working 40 hours, and achieve independence and autonomy if you can sit at home, jobless, free family healthcare, free phone, and get more money for making more dependence and dependents on an already indebted government?Which outcome makes our country government stronger, giving to it in federal taxes, or taking from it in the form of welfare (with a healthy body that could be at work)?If all those freebies don't come from taxpayers, then what would happen if we all were dependent on government for our incomes? Healthcare? Phones? Birth control? Would God and Obama open their wallets to us for being such great stewards of this Awesome and once Great country?(in that event I couldn't call it a great country.)

How can ALL of take out more than we give, and not collapse this thing?If I'm wrong for questioning these things, the rest of the world must have been too when they downgraded our credit rating for the way OUR government was spending without a way to PAY?

Why are people who live in socialized countries trying so hard to get out attention that social policies such as increased entitlements, stifle economic growth, raise taxes for All (who pay them), and still always fail to make a one class system? (I.e. Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, and Nazi Germany- can anyone thank of a post USSR satellite that hasn't at one time been crushed by Socialism? And boy how they thrived when they were opened up. (I.e. Slovenia)

I think my questions are shares by many, but I understand why things are the way they are. One guy is saying I want to give you this, and I can do it by taking extra from the rich, and the other is talking about a job for you, or perhaps an education and high skilled/high paying job that you can earn(personal responsibility), which sounds easier? What are people going want, freebies, or earning a paycheck paying 15-40% for the others to get those freebies, while they wait until 65 to get any help at all from the govenment(buy actually money back they earned).

It's obviously unpopular, but I do care. I want to earn my way, I want to help those who need it temporarily- not lifelong while we reward laziness, dependence, getting more money by having more babies=viscous cycle.

How would this make us Great Again?"Give a man a fish, feed him for a day, give him fish everyday, better hope the fewer and fewer fishing don't get tired of having their hard caught fishes taken, or somebody is going to HAVE to learn how to get up an go a fish'n! Or Hopefully "God and Obama" will pull of the loaves and fish thing again, and surely on a daily bases I hope for those waiting on the fish!

You guys do realize that Obama won the election, right????????

That is great that still doesn't make the things other people believe in any less important to them.
