One example - supreme court appointments. If you like Citizens United and don't want women to have the right to choose, go Romney. If you want a war with Iran, go Romney. If you want the disparity between rich and poor to continue to widen, go Romney. If most your income comes from capital gains and dividends and you want to save big $$$ on taxes, go Romney. Most of us in the middle class will be much better off with Obama. He is from the middle class, he understands the middle class and he works hard for the middle class. Romney morphed into Mr. Middle Class just before his performance in the 1st debate. It was an act because he was losing. He expressed his true beliefs about the middle class when he made his 47% comments in front of his rich donors. |

Im amazed at how civil this has remained, wow.
Anyways, since im in a state that is solid blue and my vote is essentially irrelevant, ill vote for gary johnson. If I were in a swing state, id vote for Romney, though I wouldnt be happy about it. The hyper-keynesian/salt water domestic policy of the last 4-6 years has been disasterous.

What has been disastrous is letting Wall Street run without appropriate regulations from 2000-2008, 2 wars, tax cuts for the rich and a prescription drug plan that was not funded. All of that led to the financial collapse that Obama handled with great skill. But he's getting blamed for taking too long to fix everything. Avoiding disaster required spending lots of money. So we have lots of debt. The alternative would have been a huge depression. So the economy is recovering, but slowly, too slowly for most people. So they say: "Let's give the money guy - Romney - a chance. He'll make things worse because he believes in the same trickle down bullshit that Reagan and Bush did. Even David Stockman, Reagan's financial guy, says trickle down doesn't work. |

Driverman said it perfectly. Everyone keeps blaming Obama for not fixing everything in 4 years. Usually less educated people have this view. They fail to realize the extend of the mess he inherited and just how well he handled the situation. Bottom line is we are much better off now than we were in 2008. And if Obama get reelected, we will be much better off in 2016 than we are now.
OBAMA FTW. |

Just voted (on this poll) and i think the margin here is going to be pretty damn close to the actual margin we are going to see. If anything else it's going to be smaller.

Which among you is a millionaire?
Both major candidates are (multi) millionaires - as are most members of the congress. Why vote to keep putting millionaires in office? Do they represent you? Only if you're a millionaire too! Like the guy said above, "What about other party candidates?". I read a book a while back that recommended doing just that. The major parties *do* look at those numbers and modify their positions accordingly. Not by much, but a bit. If more people would have the guts to "throw away" (as many see it) their vote on a non-major party candidate, there may be some hope of this country making the changes that must be made. ![]() |

Just out of curiosity, can anyone in the Romney camp provide a logical, well-laid out argument for why they'd vote for him? So far, there have been a number of compelling Obama pitches, but those in favor of Romney have been rather knee-jerkish...

I’m the middle class and regardless of what party is in the Oval Office doing whatever I just keep paying the bill……..so at the end of the day I vote the ticket that will best suit me and that can change from one election to another………..but what never changes is the bill I keep paying to give whoever their shot at makings things their definition of better.
