What do you think Obama's motives are, in your opinion?

To pass policy that facilitates the upward movement of the lower and middle class?

Too bad his policies have not been socialist/communist/leftist at all. But hey why let the facts get in the way of a good ole fashion name calling.

Nice try. But last time I checked, guns have been banned. So...there's that.

Romney is not an actor at all.

Don't be another voter that bases their opinion on feelings emotions whos cooler or how the candidates do on late-night comedy shows.
What actions do candidates say they support. Do they seem to care but not no what the hell they're doing. Is that possible. Of course.
Did Obama accomplish cutting the debt or does he have a good excuse not to.
Does Romney have good points to cut the debt. Does it even really matter to cut the debt is one issue.
Get off the who seems to cares more and onto policy and facts is my suggestion.

I personally think it's unjust for any government to confiscate(taxes) more than 25 to 30 percent of anybody's money. That city state and feds combined. This has a lot to do with how I vote
Don't get me wrong, I do form my opinion based on policy and facts, I just don't get into the debate of it all because politics is a dirty game. I don't like getting involved with the borderline hatred that gets spewed between two people of opposing parties. I rather talk subjectively about what I feel about the candidates over debating why I think a certain policy is right or the other side's is wrong.

With that said, I appreciate your words without turning towards the "you don't know what you're talking about" route. That's the exact part of politics I avoid at all costs.

Which made healthcare unaffordable and hasn't done anything good, is propped up by false numbers and tons of unrealized or even unwritten/undecided rules as of yet.

Thanks but borderline hatred. Come on it more like pure unadulterated hatred.

It always has been like this in politics but the Internet makes it worse.
The whole idea of politicians is to make you either hate the other guy and or fear them.
So it's a never ending circus that the media and the television and radio shows are full participants while pretending to be unbiased.(Both left and right)
It's like this in every country with legitimate elections.


Having said that Obama and the Democrats just blew the opportunity to destroy the Republicans by not coming up with legitimate cuts in the debt. They still own the presidency and the Senate but have not even bothered to try and pass debt reduction in the Senate. Which would be the normal political process to get something done even though you may not own the House of Representatives.
They haven't done anything in the last couple years.

Likely the most harmfull piece of legislation to come out in the past 30 years. If killing jobs and sending the country over the fiscal cliff is your idea of helping people then you should definately vote for Obama.

listened to the entire 45 minutes of Willard pandering to those Boca fat cats and I don't recommend it to anybody who has a weak stomach

If only the GOP hadn't rejected Dr Ron Paul and instead nominated this imbecile they might have actually had a shot at winning this election

Willard makes Bob Dole and Mike Dukakis look like good candidates

Bounce over: Obama’s lead in Gallup tracker down to one — among registered voters
4:01 pm on September 18, 2012
By Allahpundit

You guys are poll-savvy enough by now to know that samples of likely voters always skew a bit more Republican than samples of registereds, so what we’re looking at here is a de facto tie race at worst. Rasmussen has it 47/45 for Romney today; Gallup’s sample, screened for likelies, would probably be right in line with that.

No way to know if O would have deflated that quickly under normal circumstances or if his inexcusable negligence in failing to provide security for the Benghazi consulate blunted his momentum, but that’s where we are right now. More from Rick Wilson, who argues that there is indeed a campaign that’s in trouble — but it ain’t Romney’s.

Wishful thinking on your part. Laughable, really.

"I just made $200 million. I think I'll run for President to keep it intact and help my friends!"

If you founded Bain Capital you have all the protection and rich friends you'll ever need.

Certainly.

Kenny, Romney gives millions to his church and to other charities on top of that every year. Objectively, this should be an indication of character and integrity. But his opponents will allow nothing of the sort.

Here's some pork I wouldn't object to: money earmarked towards providing someone for PlumberKhan to drink with.

Pretty much. I hope the Republican party can kick the rednecks and tea party to the curb after they lose so I can go back to voting Republican. I've been adrift without a party for about 10 years now. It sucks.

Weird, you don't sound like you were ever a Republican. What exactly is wrong with the tea party platform?

Do you have something against smaller government and fiscal restraint/responsibility?
