i vote for obama because romeny is trying to cut

I have been a voter for 32 years . I'm also an independent . I have seen good and bad . I will not go into reasons but Gov Romney gets the vote in this house !!!

I love obama....

When I first heard about Mittens last March I was awestruck... A MODERATE god-forbid... I liked a lot of the stances he held as govenor of Mass. By April the honeymoon was over and by May... well lets just say he seems like a grade A MASS-HOLE to me.

If you all think back 12 years ago (don't feel bad, I was practically a kid back then too) Bill Clinton left office with a budget surplus. Bush didn't feel that was right, the government having money it was spending and decided to give it back to the people, then came 9/11 and subsequently the wars. And regardless of how you feel about the wars they are expensive and they weren't paid for. I wonder if they had put a patriot tax on the ballot in 2002 would people have voted it in? In either case there was no patriot tax, the wars were not paid for. Then there was Medicare Plan B- the perscription coverage thing (I want to say this happened around 2004, but honestly I was too busy living on the beach, and not at all old enough for medicare, so I wasn't paying attention) again unpaid for. Then in late 2007 the housing market crashed and as direct result in 2008 there was a bit of a global economic catastrophy, in short the government lost A LOT of revenue and lots of people lost their life savings and lots more lost their jobs (some people lost both).

Fast forward to today. Now the economy is in recover, but we're hampered by the shit show in Europe, because that pesky global economic meltdown has exposed serious financial problems in Europe. And a credit scare is really reeking havoc on otherwise strong economies. Take, Italy 3rd largest economy in the EU at risk of needing a bailout and the Danes (I think its, the Danes, an otherwise happy and financially stable country up near Norway somewhere, someone with more knowledge feel free to correct me) had their governmental coallition collapse (aka the government FAILED) based apon their inability to agree to the EU's new economic mandates for member countries. So as long as it takes for EU to get their financial house in order, the US will be hampered by lackluster economic growth.

In short, we have a tax cut, then two wars and a medicare program that havent been paid for followed up by a recession or in a more quasi-mathmatical look:

loss of income-tax cut (-)    expense-costs of war (-)    expense-medicare perscription plan (-)    loss of income-economic recession followed by slowdown (-)

Thats a lot of minus's there (as in what column it would be placed in on a online banking ledger where they have credits and debits to your account) both the income losses are effective debits, as money is coming in but less than before, creating an overall loss.

Romney wants to lower taxes more, meaning even less money to do what we already are spending too much money doing which doesnt really make sense, that would cause us to have to cut spending, even more than we need to cut spending already. It seems to me, like taking things a little slower, say balancing the budget first then look at how we can cut taxes would be a far better plan.

Thing is even before he's a politician, Romney is businessman and a financially successful business man's eye is always out for his own bottom line. While I can't say I don't believe in social darwinism (it is what it is) I don't believe it is a sound policy for a society to be based upon.

In short, I dont agree with Obama, but... Romney is worse. So I'm going with Obama.

please excuse my numerous misspellings

We're voting for Romney and Ryan.

I'll be voting for President Obama. I don't trust Romney, end of story. 

It's funny you say that. My husband and I are voting for President Obama because we cannot afford Romney. If you're not making over $250,000 a year, then you can't either.

Back to the OP: Obama. The things that I agree with Romney about are severely outweighed by the things I agree with Obama about. Besides, I can't get behind someone who lies so many times.

There's four registered voters in our house voting for Romney!  This country just can't afford another 4 years of Obama!

We're voting for President Obama. No doubt about it. :)

Planning to vote for Obama I can only think of it this way "I would rather the evil I know then the evil I don't" Therefore out of the choices we have this election I plan to simply vote Obama back in.

We're voting for Romney.
