It’s a very simple question. You and disco have made your answer quite plain.
When the question is: Who would YOU rather have as president? Obama or Romney?
You both pick Obama.
You both can (and do!) blather on on the weaknesses of Romney, but in the final analysis...
You. Pick. Obama.
Then why can't you accept it.
When the question is: Who would YOU rather have as president? Obama or Romney?
It's a false dilemma: politically speaking they are the same person.
You both pick Obama.
You both can (and do!) blather on on the weaknesses of Romney, but in the final analysis...
You. Pick. Obama.
And you exemplify the up-thread observation regarding blaming voters for not embracing a candidate.
And you know, I really can envision a Romney presidency that would be worse for the country than a second Obama term. At least under Obama people are starting to wake up to how ineffective (and corrupt) our government is; Romney could, and likely will, continue most, if not all, of Obama's policies. Don't expect any government agencies to be dissolved, or even held to account for crimes, the EPA, DEA, FBI, BATFE, TSA, DOE, other DOE, and all the other federal government agencies will be fed and further legitimized BECAUSE ROMNEY IS A STATIST.
You’ve got the question wrong. The question is: which candidate deserves your vote? Now everybody has their own method of arriving at that answer, yours is taking the lesser of two evil approach. And I’ve taken that approach before, but I also have inviolable principals, there are certain rules I won’t go against, I’ll take the lesser of two evil unless they break one of my big rules, because if they break the big rules they aren’t really lesser. And one of my big rules, the biggest really, is I don’t vote for socialists. Ever.
I’m not picking Obama, I’m just as unwilling to vote for him as Romney. The candidate selection has put me to the point where my answer to which candidate deserves my vote is neither. I will not vote for socialists and therefore I will not vote for either major party candidate. That is the final analysis. If you’re willing to look at their rather slim differences and go for Romney fine, your vote your call. But my vote is my call and it never has and never will go to a socialist. Neither candidate deserves my vote, apparently Romney deserves yours.
