Those posts are just plain silly, an inaminate object would be better than what in office now.
Just in terms of corporate investing for example; news of the election of a pro business president will spur private sector investment. What a silly comment to make 5 days out, what’s he going to do, stay home?

I didn't say that. But I honestly think that a vote for Romney is not good. (I'll concede that a vote for Obama may be worse; I will not concede that a 3rd party vote is useless.)

IMO, People thinking "Romney will save us" are fools, in the very literal sense of having been fooled. (I'll admit, it's my opinion and I may well be wrong; but you have to admit that a lot of people are setting themselves up for disappointment, especially with the "he'll repeal Obamacare.")


bigbob:
Wise up. Romney is infinitely better than the scum in the White Hut and you don’t look real good by trying to equate the two.

Look, the "Romney will repeal..." line is horrid: if he does repeal anything (Executive Orders are 'rescinded') then he will be further degrading the fundamental purpose of our Constitution (separating powers) just like Obama, if he does not then he's a "major disappointment to his supporters" just like Obama.

The "Romney will save our country because of budgeting" again suffers the same problem: Congress is the body that is to do the budgeting.

The "Romney is a businessman so he must be good for business" is ridiculous on its face: given that power corrupts, why should we expect a businessman not to play political games with businesses (which is what Obama's admin does)? Why should "being a businessman" be proof against implementing crony capitalism, or fascism?

Why should I accept his "pro-life" label as valid if he supports the very exceptions that devalue innocent lives, condemning them to death for nothing they did?

The Supreme Court argument is just as vacuous, considering the types of judges Romney has appointed.

Why in God's good name should I accept an "our scum is better than their scum" type argument?


You degrade my intelligence, belittle my conscious, and refuse to hear any warning at all.

I didn’t say he would save us, I said he was a lot better choice than Obama. I’m pretty emphatic about getting rid of Hussein before we can do anything. Purity has its merits but can be dangerous, too. Especially, if you are not voting against Obama (you as in plural). I worry when I see posts such as yours because it implies to me, perhaps wrongly, that a vote will be wasted.
But it is silly to say there is no difference between the two, at the very least, Romney has had a real job before..

Why you should accept it is the reason we are in the situation we are in is because some idiots on our side think its better to surrender instead of taking every inch of ground we can take every time we can take it. And if you see no difference between the current occupant if the white house and the republican candidate for president then no one here can denigrate your intelligence more than your own stupid comments
