I am not in a swing state.
Regardless, I would not give anyone any sh*t for voting their conscience.
The most important thing to me is the debt. The debt will end us. Romney is as big of a spender as Obama.
So for anyone who takes the debt seriously, GJ is the only choice..
Quoting: *Evan* Honestly, considering that I am much younger than most people here, I feel like I am just banging my head against the wall because people just don't care about the Truth, just pre-conceived notions and media hype
1) No, Romney is NOT as big a spender as Liberals. That's classic Ross Perot straw-man designed to split the Republican vote. Yes, Reagan run up the debt, but he did that to DEFEAT the Totalitarian Evil of Soviet Union -- and bby extension re-affirm the virtues of America, Capitalism, Technological Progress and Freedom ---- which is why you had that boom in the 90s that the shameless Bill Clinton got undeserved credit for. It can all be traced to Reagan and Bush Sr's symbolic defeat of Communism and opening up the world to American products & ideas.
2) Obama added an astonishing 6 trillion dollars to the debt --- almost as much as ALL previous presidents in the history of the US COMBINED. And that's nothing compared to his far more radical communist plans that he saved for his 2nd term, now that "he no longer has to worry about re-election"..... Wake up.
3) The ONLY way to pay down national debt in the long-term is TO GROW THE ECONOMY. That's how yield literally TRILLIONS of dollars over next 5 years. But as long as Obama is scaring corporations, small businesses and foreign investors away from investing in America's future... we're going to go into Double-dip recession and the debt will fly past 20 trillion in short order. That would be the end of America as you knew it, trust.
Can Romney solve everything with a wave of a magic wand? No. But he has shown in past, in Massachussets and during the Olympics, as well as in the ultra-compettivie & complex Corporate world.... that Romney can and will work with the opposition, will take all POV in consideration, and will try to operate in a bi-partisan way that most voters are demanding these days.
Most importantly, much like Reagan broke the back of he Jimmy Carter Mailaise, Stagflation, oil embargos --- even though it took Ronny 2 long years to do it, it didn't happen ovenight.... Romney too could once again INSPIRE the nation, HEAL the divide, and get America WORKING again, instead of sitting arounf all depressed & waiting for hand-outs that slowly bankrupt the country.
Or, you can have the Messiah back. And then 8 years of Bill Clinton (Hillary). And then in 12 years, another good-looking, charismatic Hispanic Obama will come along to vow the nation. Bye-bye Republican party.
That's the choice this elecion. Nothing short of the cultural clash -- maybe even clash of Civilizations playing out in Northern Ohio.
