With all due respect to the Libertarian and other third party candidates, the next president will either be Romney or Obama. I'll probably vote for Obama, but his presidency has been very disappointing. It doesn't really matter either way. Obama has continued many of Bush's policies and Romney probably won't be much different either. So whoever wins, look for 4 more years of same old -same old. If any change is to be made, it will have to be from the house and senate races.
Okay so that's reasonable. So what are the policy positions or accomplishments that give Obama the edge with you?
1. Obama won't wipe out the social safety net.
2. Obama is not afraid to go after terrorists.
3. Obama is not eager to go to war with Iran.
4. Obama is not afraid to cut bloated defense budget.
5. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
You specifically asked others to site reasons for their vote. Specific policy reasons. They gave you none so you suplemented your own for them. Then when CG offered some specifics with her answer you questioned her while respecting them. wtf dude?
Bollinar just said he's voting for Obama. I asked him about policy. So you wanna whine a bltch like a little girl all day or you wanna stop dodging a simple question and just tell us why you're voting for whomever? I'll bet it's the former.
I'm voting for Romney because he does not hate this country like the vile little insect does.
Yes, the responses of those weak on facts etc... was predicted in the OP:
"they start talking about the other guy"
If you wanna up your game, let us know something about Romney's policy positions that have captured your vote. Shouldn't be hard with Romney. No matter what your position, he agrees with you!
I was referring to the first couple of posts and you know it. Your bias is blatent but Ill play along for a bit.
I will most likely vote for Romney for the following reasons:
He has a stellar career as a businessman.
He was governor of a democratic state yet had the ability to get things done with the opposition.
He will take on China and our unfair trade practices.
He will repeal Obamacare if it still exists.
He will remove many of the unnecessary regulations that restrict business growth
He will reign in the EPA
He will approve Keystone
He will not continue to sue states and will stop all current litigation
He will try to bring tax reform to the forefront
He will bomb the shit out of Iran if necessary to stop them from going nuclear
He will mend our relations with allie countries
the list goes on
Okay I disagree with you but respect that you posted positions instead of the usual "He's not Obama". Well done. BTW, several of the reasons you would vote for him are exactly the reasons I won't. But I still respect that you are voting on positions.
Okay so that's reasonable. So what are the policy positions or accomplishments that give Obama the edge with you?
1. Obama won't wipe out the social safety net.
2. Obama is not afraid to go after terrorists.
3. Obama is not eager to go to war with Iran.
4. Obama is not afraid to cut bloated defense budget.
5. Better the devil you know than the devil you don't know.
So you do anything but listen to Democrat Talking points?
Romney will not "Wipe out the Safety net.
No reason at all to think Romney would not go after Terrorists.
Obama is Afraid of Iran, Romney is not.
Romney is not afraid to tackle Entitlement Reform, Which Massively Out weighs Defense in spending.
In this Case, I rather take a chance that the Devil I don't know, is better than the one we do know, Because he is pretty fucking bad.
I believe that Borillar was referring to accomplishments as asked for, when talking about terrorists. Obama has indeed accomplished much on tht front.
Iran? Well at least you are discussing positions now. I'm not big on another war in the ME. Especially with the richest, best equipped and largest army in the region. You really want a nuclear war? A 20 year, bankrupting land war? Okay dokey.
There is only three areas of spending that make a big difference: Medicare, Social Security and Defense.
What exactly do you think Romney is going to do to reduce Medicare / SSI by say, $100B a year or more?
What is his stated position about them?
