In my opinion Obama was partly elected in 2008 because McCain was the GOP nominee.
As far as for candidates like Gary Johnson his candidacy is proof positive that the media determines these campaigns and who will get the spotlight.
VP nominee Ryan makes Romney more palatable to many conservatives. His choice allows the lever pull at the ballot box not to stink so much, right?
I don't mind that people vote for Romney but seeing those who once trashed Romney line up and behave as good foot soldiers is a sad reflection of how low the political process sinks.
I want things to change and I truly believe that change starts with each individual voting honestly. That is what I will do Nov. 6th.
I was not a Romney supporter. But he won the nomination and he is running (as a convert, perhaps, to conservatism) now as the standard bearer AGAINST the guy who is fucking things up royally.
Hell, as against the incumbent, I would even vote for Ron Paul. <<gulp>>
Hi Liability.
I get the sentiment and reasoning for voting for Romney. I used to think the same way. I want Obama to lose but I refuse to vote for a candidate who is in the tank for the very things so many of us bitch about every year and every election year especially. I despise the left mentality because they vote for the letter next to the name no matter who is there. Why should I believe it stinks any less if that letter is an R.
I voted for Bush and what did I get? A man who forgot where he put his veto pen. He was very extravagant in domestic spending and far too tolerant of the excesses we saw yet again in Congress.
The parties own far too many people and the votes that they hold.
My vote does not matter so not to worry because Obama is almost without a doubt going to carry my state of Mass no matter which candidate gets my vote. Gary Johnson is my choice and that is voting with honesty. If your vote offered to Romney is an honest one for you then you have nothing to worry about Liability.
