- Romney's a good and hardworking person because... - He's done 28 years worth of volunteer work- You don't seem to have much take on his fiscal policies because you don't know anything about money - You also seem not to like the idea of religion to justify anything so you wish he would leave the Christian shit at the door. How is your viewpoint any more reasonable if I may ask? I confess I haven't read every post in this thread, but I've followed it more or less, and the opinion that mostly anti-Romney seems to stem from where he exactly stands with most of the issues and how questionable his solutions are toward some of our biggest problem such as the debt issue, healthcare, social issue, and etc. I know I'm being harsh here, but don't you think you should at least attempt to read more reasonable when you are criticizing the takes of those anti-Romney people based on how unreasonable they are?

If I recall all US Presidents from 1932 until today, I'd inform everyone that 12 men became Presidents since then (6 Democrats and 6 Republicans). Out of the 6 Republican Presidents, only one of them was serious in maintaining the economy away from any possible recession, expanding social security, launching into large infrastructure projects and making sure the time is of peace: Dwight D. Eisenhower, a moderate Republican. What about the other 5 Republicans? They contributed in increasing social differences, they neglected the needs of low and middle classes, they deregulated the economy into a free-for-all situation not so different from what Calvin Coolidge allowed (which led to the Great Depression), and they were never backed from doing a number things recklessly in international politics. What's even worse now is how the GOP is neglecting women and other minorities who are reflecting the changing demographics in the US.
For all those reasons, I'm entitled with the right to despise the GOP until they find someone willing to clean up the mess, getting rid of the racists, the ignorant and all other bigots/zealots plaguing the GOP. For any country's sake, it's not by pleasing the extremist branch of a party that any leader will do something for the sake of the whole country. |

I said I was ignorant on one subject that Kaio mentioned, not that I was ignorant about the aspect I was defending Romney on originally (aka his overall morality and decency), please stop breathing down my neck just because someone dared to break the chain of Obama circlejerking

And you have faith in Romnbey no matter what anyone says, even if that "anyone" is Romney himself? We are aware that there are those who support Romney. Most of us just have no idea WHY. So I assume you believe Romney is lying to get elected for our own good? That he is only playing the bad guy and that magically, once he becomes POTUS he would be a good leader that he hasn't been seen to be for the last few years?

That's pretty much the point of this thread so I hope you will understand that the criticism toward one or the other has very little to do with how they are in personal lives, but rather what they are saying or promising and consequently, where the country will head toward. Take a break from this thread if you have to and comeback with fresher perspective. I'm pretty sure you won't need to look too hard to find something you can criticize Obama on. PM/VM Gundamfan (or even Flying for interesting perspective on things ) for some pointers if you need any.

Probably because the way politics are at present, everything seems to be negatives. There are almost no positives anymore in the election. It is all about just how bad it will be based on whoever wins. No notion of how good things will get if one man wins over the other, but how bad it will be, period.
It seems to be all negative all the time. It that what the nation deserves?

Of course there's that other problem with Romney, in that there are an whole bunch of people that work under him that have been feeding him consistent misinformation. That example happened during that one debate with the "Act of terror" comment in which Romney said that the President never had stated until fourteen days later. Then the moderator dragged his ass back to reality, live on television for all to witness.
That right there had really hurt Romney's campaign. It made everyone feel that, well, at least it didn't end up as bad as the last group that claimed that Iraq has and were building weapons of mass destruction. Those being the same people having previously got everyone involved in a war based on what continues to be the same structure of lies and misinformation. And I was wrong to give the Conservatives then the benefit of the doubt. Those Bush years didn't fade away from everyone's mind. And when the question was asked directly to Romney on that very same day on how he would be any different than then George W. Bush? After that "Acts of terror" episode, now we know. |

Well one thing seems sure, we're going to get 4-more years...of stagnancy.
Which may be a good thing considering who controls the Democrats and the Republican parties. House elections spell a Republican story and victory http://www.washingtonpost.com/politi...962_print.html Gallup Predicts Voter Turnout Will Remain Unchanged In 2012 Election http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/...-2012-election The Two Polls That Have Chicago Terrified http://www.nationalreview.com/corner...d-josh-jordan# Why I’m voting for Romney http://www.nypost.com/p/news/local/w...5rPUIuWCfgNpnJ Oh and BTW, Candy Crowley admitted that she was wrong and Romney was right in the debate. Let's not muck that up with disinfo. Here she is admitting it herself: I realize that won't sit well with some of you, but like William J. Cooper once said "when you tell the truth, you piss everybody off." I tend to do that.
