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.
Probably true. But I don't agree even with the core principles of traditional "progressives" in their love for engineering society.

How about I fix the problem of politicians biting off more than they can chew, by not attempting anything?

No because you haven't fixed the one problem I would want you to fix which is stopping the problem-fixing that creates even more problems to fix Tongue

3rd party, but I don't know who. I have a hunch that it all ties together at the top...

I feel sorry for Americans. It's like voting for a complete moron or a complete idiot. It's like that every election.

I do happen to think that Romney will get elected though, and I'm afraid that would be the worst thing to happen to America in several decades. I just can't see how people could possibly be ok with the fact that he might lead your country. I dread to think where you'll be in 4 years.

Obama? I'm not sure. He seems like an awful lot less of an idiot than Romney. He won't f*** over the poor as much (still will), and might do some good stuff. I can't see the US going places in that time though. It's almost like delaying the election 4 years.

I would vote Obama if I was American but I'd also curse the idiotic state of our politics and wonder why people haven't picked up that being so right wing is moronic and their needs to be left wing politics for social development.

Not an American but the thought of Romney in power scares the sh*te out of me. As a christian socialist / social democrat, I've never understood how someone professing to be religious can be so enamoured with wealth and so disparaging of 47% of the bloody USofA. And I thought our executive where an uncaring bunch of no-marks Wink
