The Doom and Gloom scenario's will be almost unbearable with Romney behind the mic. The only thing Romney hasn't done in his life is blow people up. You just know he's itching to press a few buttons and tell the world about it. CAn't we just vacant the position for the next 4 years?

Romney would not be different in any meaningful way to any of the previous Republican presidents of the USA.

Romney = Slow death
Obama = Fast death.

Fast death = more likely to wake up white people to the reality of the situation, so even though I am racist I would vote for Obama. By the way if you think the president of America has control over "his decisions" then you are very naive.


Well holy shit. Look who decided to grow a brain stem.

It's odd, my entire adult life I have many heard people say, "we need a businessman to run this country". If the bulk of our current issues are economic, that would make Romney the overwhelming choice over Obama.
businessmen understand how to operate in an economy. they dont necessarily know how to build one.

They know how to run a company(sometimes) but that doesn't necessarily mean they know how to run government.  A company and a government are two very different things.

i worded my statement the way i did for a reason. because often times people say what you just said "the goverment is not a business and therefore knowing how to run a business doesnt mean you know how to run the government".  that statement, i think, is not as accurate as mine because there are definite similarities in the kind of leadership role necessary to excell at business and government leadership.  the difference between the two doesnt lie so much in the difference between the leadership role, which is implied when you talk about running a company/running a government, but i think the difference is more about understanding cultural and economic issues that pertain to society in general and how to craft a system that builds long term economic growth by way of encouraging productive citizens... as compared to a business which doesnt need to worry about the human element or cultural factors that encourage productivity because a business can mechanize the production line , and other things..

obama came from a middle class family, worked his way up in the world. just because he supports entitlement programs doesnt mean he feels entitled to anything.

but wait.. im expecting you to be reasonable and actually consider the idea that obama is a good guy who is doing his best but differs in his opinion from you about the most effective way to promote the prosperity of the people.

 ...and being reasonable isnt something you have ever shown yourself capable of being.

Why is obama a "good guy""?   Personally i think he is a drug addicted communist and radical freak show

dude, if he was so radical, why when he had control of congress did he pass a health reform act that was created by the conservative heritage foundation? why, if he is so radical, has his administration passed less new regulations that the bush administration did ? why, if he is so radical, has he went after legal(by state law) medical marijuana dispensaries?  why, if he is so radical, are the tax increases he is proposing only a meager 3% increase and only on the top 2% of earners?   why, if he is so radical, is he willing to cut government expenditures at double the rate by which he wished to increase tax revenue ?

Ask Bob Woodward who said obama and obama alone is the cause of the debt downgrade

sure, just spent a good 20 minutes of my time reading up on this, your misrepresenting what he said, he said he ultimately laid the blame on obama for not building relationships with republicans, but he also laid alot of blame on boehner and the republicans as well.   anyways, whats so radical about wanting a debt deal that includes 1 dollar of tax increases for every 2 dollars of spending cuts ??  ???

Because obama has no intention of cutting spending and his spending increases dwarf the additional revenues.

hhahaha youre a fucking idiot,

1 trillion is already set to go into place as a result of both dems and reps in congress.

2 trillion are b/c he plans to stop borrowing for iraq/afghanistan - how the fuck do you count not borrowing 2 trillion as cutting spending?

so he has 1 trillion he will really cut, now what is he going to cut?

whose decision is it to end the wars? hell, mitt is talking about the "mistake" obama made in pulling troops out of iraq. you think he would pull out the troops in afghanistan as well?  yes, cutting  those expenditures is part of obama's plan.

well it was BUSH'S, you fuking twit...

at any rate that doesnt answer the question moron, how does he get credit for cutting spending by not borrowing the money?

that doesnt cut spending it just slows the borrowing, thats not the same.....

if he wants to say he is borrowing less thats fine, but he isnt cutting spending...

you also didnt address the fact that 1 trillion is going to go into effect even if he isnt in office, should romney get to count those spending cuts to?

the distinction your trying to make is meaningless.

federal spending would be trillions higher if it wasnt for obama's decision to pull out of iraq and afghanistan, thus effectively cutting spending by trillions.


you want to argue about the 4 trillion number ??  whatever..  the exact amount isnt really the issue...   the issue is whether obama is willing to cut spending.. by your own admittance he wants  to cut spending by 1 trillion not counting the decrease caused by ending the wars..

i think our two parties do a great job balancing between our diverse views, individualism(conservative) and collectivism(liberal), tradition(conservative) and science(liberal). there are other things that can be addressed to improve the situation. changing the two party system.. i dont think its going to be the change we need.

Let me make this very easy: 

Obama = 100% disaster

Romnay = 75%-100% disaster.

Most of us are voting for the 25% chance he wont suck. 



Romney could make it worse.His spending is away bigger than Obama and he doesnt want to cut anything. But the debt and deficit is only an issue when you have dem in office
