 Topic: Romney or Obama (or Third party)
Posted: September 17 2012 at 17:43 |

At first I thought I was for Romney, purely for his economic policies,
but now I’ve changed my mind. Both of them are idiots, but Romney is
really pissing me off.

Obama, because there is no viable left-wing, socialist candidate.

We've discussed this several times, but I will vote for Romney because I think literally anyone in the country would be better than Obama.

Can't decide. Don't really like either one. Maybe I will vote for Roseanne Barr.

*Shakes head in sadness* Romney/Ryan are utterly terrible. Obama per se isn't that bad, but the Democrats are (after all we don't live in a dictatorship quite yet!) The parties are f**kin terrible and the $$$ involved doesn't care who wins. I am most likely voting for Gary Johnson but it's tempting to write in Eli Manning

I wish there was a "Nobody" option. I'm not sure which one is the lesser/least evil. I don't know how much I should trust the media. Or am I just being super-cynical?

If I were to write in a candidate it would be Bernie Sanders (with Elizabeth Warren as his running mate).

The lesser evil, is still evil amirite?
Just a tip Smarty, (and of course think for yourself and research) but dont believe in Romney's/the mainstream GOP economics.
Their "less taxes" ALWAYS go to the top and we see none of it.
Their "less government" ALWAYS is about cutting Soc Security, Medicare and etc
They'd never dream of cutting military spending, giving the middle class tax relief or getting out of bed with big business.
Less government in the good days, bail em out in the bad days...Remember when the bailouts first happened and when the Tea Party originally sprung up. It was under Wubya

 She can surely get any country pretty tight.

What are Romney's economic policies that you like(d)? Why did you change your mind? Why are they both idiots? How is Romney pissing you off?
What do you like about President Obama?

I'm giving my first-ever vote as an American citizen in a general election to Romney, not entirely to my liking, but I dislike the path that the democrats want to put America on, hence my reluctant vote. Romney is not a great candidate, republicans today are similar to democrats, but in many ways I like the ways of traditional American conservativism (not today's neo-conism, the traditional conservativism that truly used to be called "liberal" before the word became the same as "statist". )

Indeed.
A part of me wants to see Obama reelected because of the GOP's bullsh*t during their primary processes. Then again, I want to see my country emerge from its crippling debt and foolish entitlement policies.
Anyone who votes for Obama ("cut the deficit in half," "one term proposition," "raising the debt ceiling is leadership failure," $16T in debt, QE3) deserves what they get.

I'm not exactly sure if that's the best reason to vote for Romney. The Republican party is dominated by neo-cons and big government cronyism. It's the soup of the season for politics these days, and voting republican certainly isn't going to make that go away. Not sure what will, actually.

Obama, but he may be in trouble from his own current supporters.
