How is it possible people will actually vote for Obama?

Let me see. The elderly, the poor, the disabled. The people that think trickle down economics suck. The people that have enough sense to know that privatizing Social Security is just another way to achieve a huge tax break for employers. The people that see know difference between Romney and Bush, and Reagan. All the same economic plans. The people that do not believe his tax program will help anyone but the rich. The people that would like to see the middle class continue,, instead of ending up with the rich and the poor. The people that do not believe capitalism trumps all safety regulations. Basically, I don't support Obama, and didn't last time but the thought of this country getting even deeper into Reaganomics makes me puke.

"No one is going to overturn RoevWade...people just dont want to pay for others abortions thats all."

Except that Romney has said he would like to see Roe v. Wade overturned, and up to three justices may be retiring from the Supreme Court in the next presidency, and states have been attempting to pass legislation that is blatantly unconstitutional (personhood amendments, for instance) lately. That's a perfect storm to create the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

And also, you don't pay for others' abortions, my dear. They Hyde Amendment prevents federal tax dollars from going to pay for abortion services.

EDIT: "RvW is NOT going to be overturned"

And your reasoning for believing this is . . . ?

"BTW Planned Parenthood perfomed 40% of all abortions and received 485 million taxpayer dollars last year. "

Yep, and Planned Parenthood is divided into two corporations- one that deals with 97% of their services that are not abortion, and the other that provides the remaining 3% that are abortions. The former receives taxpayer dollars; the latter is funded entirely by private donations. I mean, are you actually trying to say that the Hyde Amendment doesn't exist . . . ?

Although I have never supported Obama I do find it difficult understand any negative description of one political candidate when most are ego drive career minded leeches sucking the life out of our check books and freedom. While I tend to lean towards your description you are wrong in one respect; Obama has not destroyed the American economy yet, but I'm relatively sure he will given four more years to fine tune his anti colonial fixation along with a subliminal effort to give everyone a "fair share"!

To your credit, Romney has not been the president and efforts to pigeon hole his ideas or ideological opinion is a fools game, but just the same, the masses believe the spin they prefer. In this election it's a matter of voting for four more failed years with possible dire consequences or take yet another chance that there is someone who knows what they are talking about. I'm for the latter and you are a pretty smart young person.

To advance your own understanding of this entire political mess we've brought upon ourselves I suggest you become just as involved in progressive thinking as it will prepare you to do verbal battle with these pesky sneaky politico's. Kind of like knowing your enemy, when you do that it will help you present a less angry sounding debate which I suspect you would be excellent at. Keep up the good fight.

Obama is in over his head: The economy remains stagnant, good paying jobs are dismal, the Middle East is destabilized, healthcare premiums are rising, 20 million people are on the verge of losing their insurance, $716 billion in Medicare has been siphoned into Obamacare, housing prices have plunged, food prices are sky-rocketing, the national debt is over 16 trillion dollars, the deficit is over 1 trillion dollars and yet we are going to re-elect this narcissistic amateur whose ego knows no bounds. Why isn't the Benghazi scandal taking center stage right now, as well? This is absurd. Guess what? If Obama thinks 4 innocent American lives are expendable and unworthy of action, including his OWN ambassador, do you honestly think he cares about you? Wake up sheep, Obama is no savior and he could care less about anything other than preserving his legacy. I believed in Obama 4 years go, but I am not foolish enough to vote him back in. I am NOT better off than I was four years ago...in fact, I'm worse; most people are. It's time for a change from "the change".

Wow, are you ignorant. And you apparently actually believe all the Romney lies. Romney doesn't give a crap about anyone except his rich buddies. He wants to destroy the middle class and turn us all into serfs and you are falling for it.

I, along with most people I know, are hard working people not on the government teat. We are well educated and well informed and that is why we are voting for Obama. and we are white.

The economy has improved massively, yet you want to support a guy who will return us to the polices that got us here in the first place. Housing improving. Instead of losing 800,000 jobs a month, we are gaining jobs. Profits for corporations are at record highs over the 60 years they have been tracking it. The Dow is almost double.

And we have real hope for health insurance coverage. Also known as Romney care - which he thought was great for MA but hates it for the rest of us. By the way, he was so bad in MA that his approval rating was down to 34%, which is why he didn't run again. The people of MA don't want him as president and they are the ones to know what he is like as a leader. Oh, and let's not forget that 22% of the Bain companies went through bankruptcy after Romney run Bain bought them out. Thousands of people lost jobs and pensions while Romney made a big profit. He also had to have a federal bailout of the Olympics.

And he has stated that he wants to get rid of FEMA - turn it over to private companies. (That would not have the resources to handle a hurricane Sandy and would charge the states money they don't have in time of crisis.)

By the way, which Romney are you for? The moderate or the severe conservative. The one who is prochoice or the one who wants to ban abortion and birth control (to the point where he has actually harassed a women getting an abortion to save her life - one approved by the Mormon church.) How about the unAmerican Romney who sends most of his money overseas. The hawk threatening war with Iran or the one who jumped on board with Obama on most of his foreign policy? The mean is a liar - about himself and most other things. He is now lying about Jeep. That's the only way he can win, by lying about what he stands for - which means he has no values.

Obama most closely represents the working class. He understands their lives and their struggles. Romney thinks people earning 100K are too poor to be called middle class. Rich people have been president before and the ones who did well were the ones who actually had to hold a real working man's job. Romney never has. He had everything handed to him. So he doesn't understand. Romney also will say whatever to whomever to think he will get a vote. He claims he has a plan for the economy, but won't show it until after the election. Which means he either has no plan or he knows the plan will anger too many people. (Or too many people will realize it won't work.) He wants to return to the failed policies of Bush and double down on them. What little will we know of his plans will increase taxes for the middle class by an average of $2000 a year while cutting taxes for the rich. And backing off regulation is something he supports, even though that cut us where we were four years ago (we are much better now) and it's why we have massive drought and incredible hot weather this summer. He is also anxious to get us into war with Iran. We don't need another war. We can't afford another war. (The source of our biggest money problems - so much so that Bush refused to put those numbers in his budget so that it would look like he was doing better than he was.)

My America is about people working together helping everyone to succeed. The GOP idea is every man for himself and the heck with everyone else. (The Ayn Rand philosophy of selfishness - lots of GOPs are big fans of hers.) Which America do you want?

What a wake-up call for America. In his latest speech Obama stated that people who have succeeded in building businesses from the bottom up cannot claim credit for their individual success story. Off teleprompter, Obama finally unmasked himself and his radical left agenda by attacking the very engine which drives our nation’s economy, the free enterprise system and entrepreneurs. Clearly, the American way is not for Obama.

In 2008 his message of “hope and change” along with “fundamental transformation” of America was no doubt misunderstood by many Americans but the outcome of the “transformation” is clear. Consider the complete failure of his agenda, including but not limited to the taxpayer dollars which were poured into a stimulus package that did not work; Solyndra which closed; “shovel-ready jobs” that never surfaced; the government takeover of GMAC; collapse of the housing market; the “fast and furious” scandal in the Department of Justice; and Obama’s misuse of Executive Order to forcefeed his radical left views on the American people.

Putting further strain on the economy, his “signature” piece, “Obamacare,” will result in massive tax hikes, the rationing of health care, higher insurance premiums, government officials making end-of-life decisions, and redistribution of wealth to cover the millions of uninsured.

People are weary of Obama’s blame-game (”I inherited a bad economy” and “It’s Bush’s fault”). What they know is the jobless rate is more than 8.2 percent and when one factors in the number who stopped looking for work, the rate jumps to 11 percent.

I propose that the President knows exactly what he’s doing, and only by destroying America’s free enterprise system can he replace it with his vision of socialism which has failed in every nation it was tried. In order to redistribute the people’s hard-earned wealth, he proposes higher tax brackets for all except those at the very bottom. Those who pay no taxes will not be affected. Soon the “have-nots” will outnumber those who pay. The tipping of this scale and the nation’s growing debt cannot be sustained. Obama’s narrow vision will fail.

If you can't see facts with your tea-party glasses on, I doubt anyone can explain it to you. However, you are about to find out how many people will vote that way- and it's a quickly growing number.

I think your boy is toast, and that is exactly what he is qualified to be.

I just sent another $100 to Obama to help restore your perception.

They want a better America, they like what Obama has done so far and they are aware of what the gop has tried to do.
