Re: Who Are YOU Voting For?

LOL.

I'm voting against the racist nanny state party of class warfare and parasite pimping. I'll be pulling the lever for the GOP top to bottom.

While Romney isn't nearly conservative enough for my tastes, he's infinitely more conservative than the teleprompter dependent, Marxist, empty suit, racist extremeist we have now. Not to mention the mental midget he chose as his running mate.

Re: Who Are YOU Voting For?

President Obama. I wouldn't vote for the current Republican party if that was my ONLY choice. The Bush administration was the worst in our nations history. They took a surplus from Clinton, started two unfunded wars, one with a nation that had nothing to do with 9/11 and was in no way a threat to our nation, and killed our economy along the way. The last four years, the Republicans have acted worse than a spoiled child that had his toy taken away and has obstructed our nation's progress in every way. The telling part being they've voted against the very same things they voted for during the Bush administration. As speaker Boehner said on his first day in power, the Republicans ONLY goal was to make President Obama a one term President. Our country and the millions suffering be damned. How ANYONE not in the 1% could vote for them is beyond me. They are voting against their own self interests in every way. The want to give the 1% a larger tax break than the Bush administration thus passing the burden of government funding more on the backs of the working man while cutting programs for the elderly, sick, poor, and disabled. That is not Christian and absolutely un-American in my opinion. As for the Republican candidate for President, Romney made his fortune taking away and outsourcing American jobs. In his brief time as Governor, his state was 46th in job creation. His runs away from his largest accomplishment, Romneycare, which is a great success in Massachusetts for it's citizens, because the Affordable Care Act, which is Romneycare for the nation, is evil according to the Republican party because President Obama got it passed. His "saving" of the Olympics was due to government funding. That was going to happen regardless of who was in charge. VP candidate Ryan is a walking hypocrite and a liar. He voted for every deficit spending bill under Bush. NOW it's bad. Even though the ACA is evil, he was first in line to request money from it. He even lies about something so trivial as his marathon times. He is exactly the opposite of what we need in Washington, much less a heartbeat away from the most important job on the planet. As far as President Obama goes, I like his efforts on regulating Wall St and the banks. He didn't go far enough but it's better than nothing. I like the Affordable Care Act. It is a step in the right direction. It's already helping millions and lowering health care costs and premiums. It's not what I wanted, but it's a positive. He offered Republicans a ratio of 10-1 in spending cuts vs. raised revenue. Of course, that would have been another positive for our nation, so the Republicans blocked it. Again, winning the election is more important than our nation and it's peoples. Some of his deficit spending was COMPLETELY unnecessary like the cell phones. Most of it softened the blow of the mess the Bush administration left. As far as the next four years goes, I believe the Democrats will tackle the deficit in the most fair way. Spending has to be cut. Revenue has to be raised. The Democrats have ALREADY put that on the table. Shared sacrifice. Shared prosperity. I know the Democrats will get us out of Afghanistan and will be ALOT more hesitant to go to war with Iran. The people will decide and I will hope for the best regardless. WHO DAT!

Re: Who Are YOU Voting For?

I voted for Obama and I'll do it again, if nothing more for his healthcare plan.

I was born with a very very mild case of cerebral palsy and the way healthcare is now I can't get healthcare due to a pre-existing condition(even though it hasn't stopped me from doing anything).

Obama's healthcare will allow me to comfortably get healthcare without problems...

With all due respect sir. You couldn't be more uninformed if you tried really hard at it. You are one partisan dude. You're opinion is the epitome of what is wrong with American politics in my opinion.

The "mess the Bush administration left" began during the Carter administration and if you had a clue or took the time to do more that listen to party rhetoric you'd know that. Bill Clinton has openly acknowledged he COULD have and SHOULD have done more. What got the economy in the mess it is in is the very politics we are debating - that you see it so one-sided is a real travesty and an indictment on both you and other's like you, on either side of the isle, who can not or will not open up to the real problems or nation is facing.

But I'm glad you're retirement is secure thanks to the good investment advice you received. Sounds like played the market and were fortunate. Good for you. Why don't you go ahead and give me a third of it so I can hand out that third to the people I chose to hand it to? How big a boy are ya?

How soon you forget the tactics of the Democrats only 4 years ago. As if they were more willing to 'go along' than the republicans are now? Are you high? Who's health care premiums have gone down? Who do you know who is paying less? Name them. Your prices ARE going to go up. Period. You're 48 years old. As my grandmother used to say, "If you don't believe me, hide and watch." You will live to see it. You will live to see the catastrophic mistake Obama care is and shall become. God help our children if, should he get re-elected, the Republicans don't continue to block him. That is precisely what they should do.

Have you bothered to read the Constitution yet? The Federalists Papers? I'm going to bet not. Never have. Never will. You're regurgitating party rhetoric and don't even know it do you? I am sad for you. I am sad for our country because of those of you who just aren't willing to see the big picture.

Why don't you go use that cool internet thing and read up on the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, or for that matter any of the other myriad programs devised and instituted by the Democratic party under the same "little man" mantra you're falling for now. Go ahead. Get educated.

Bill Maher is right. American's are just too stupid to vote.

I totally understand the hard challenges of healthcare having been in the insurance industry.... and of course the attraction to Obamacare which is the law of the land now.

What is missed by most is that this program is a TAX. That means Obama passed the greatest tax increase in American History for the purpose of a social program, even though it was not sold to us that way It was needlessly passed, IMHO, for to fix the system did not require yet another budget busting federal program. Sadly, they never tried simply mandating some of the provisions of Obamacare; the ones such no pre-existing conditions,etc... They have never tried making insurance available across state lines and tort reform; those two things alone would increase competition and put downward pressure on the cost of insurance. They also have to fix illegals getting free healthcare as well; this, Obamacare does not fix. Patent reform is another concern as pharmaceuticals charge way to much for prescription drugs. One of the elements to fix this also resides with our current tax structure. We must increase the base as less than half of Americans actually pay taxes; this is not enough to support all of the social programs you want. Precisely where HR 25 (the Fair Tax) comes into play as the only common sense plan to actually address all of our challenges. None of our elected officials, save a mere handful, even have the balls to pass this legislation as this would shift power from Congress to the people.

The bottom line is that you can vote for all of folks you want to give you all of the freebies you can abscond with... just realize that the golden goose has runneth dry and that it won't matter soon as there won't (scratch that...there isn't) be ANY money to pay for the "gimme" programs or even run this country. The debt payments alone will very soon suffocate this country. Just you wait until the interest rates go up... you haven't seen anything yet.

The Dems have no plan to save our financials in the short term, relying instead in very nebulous and fraudulent math to purport their agenda. That is reason alone to vote this HOAX of a president out of office.

Agreed 100%. Obama care had some decent things in it, but the program as a whole is a scam. All it ultimately does is FORCE Americans into yet another tax for a service they are and will continue to be overcharged for. Insurance companies did a jig the moment it was passed. More money on the books - and nothing done, as you indicate, to fix the real problems.

What's maddening to me is nobody has even broached the topic. The politician's bread and butter come from these people, and so they're not about to kill their OWN golden goose.

We have to back up. WAY up. Campaign finance reform. Term limits. Tort reform. Each of these would be great places to start, but American's have to send a message.

I'm not a Republican, but I support the idea of blocking Obama at every turn. They must be aggressive in their defense. For all Obama's "across the isle" rhetoric, has he truly reached out? His version of 'compromise' seems to be to simply force his ideals through the system at down the opposition's throat, collateral damage be damned.

And as we have seen in this thread, his marketing campaign is effective. The uneducated buy his schtick hook, line, and sinker. Unfortunately the Republican's can't seem to do any better with Romney.

We need a leader who will stand up for the values laid forth in the Constitution of the United States of America. Where is this man or woman? He or she was certainly not nominated by either party the past two weeks. At this point I'm just hoping the Republicans can effectively block Obama's socialist regime until there is a true Patriot on the scene.
