Obama was a bully who pushed kids around, an admitted druggie and coke head. In his adult life, he's never held a job in a real business, couldn't get elected to public office until he played dirty. He voted "present" most of his time in office, showing a complete lack of conviction, laziness and ignorance of the issues being voted on. His policies have caused millions of Americans to lose their jobs, their homes and their healthcare.

I would NEVER vote for Obama - his progressive vision of our country is sickening.

And for the record, Romney didn't finagle anything with regards to taxes. He in fact would pay in a higher bracket than you do on his income. His taxes are lower on capital gains, as would your's be. You are free to finagle your way into that tax bracket if you choose. If you're going to make inflammatory accusations, you might want to get your facts straight first.

Romney is going to win the debates easily and I think he will coast to victory after that....

I think he really wants to serve this country and it will be good for everyone.

The main difference is I think Obama cares he just doesnt know what to do to fix anthing. Romney cares and he knows what to do....

Mitt Romney was a schoolyard bully who harassed gay kids. In his adult life, he has laid off many hardworking people from his company. He somehow finagled his way into a lower tax bracket than mine, despite my salary of $45,000 a year.

I will probably still end up voting for Romney if i think he can do better on the economy than Obama. But believe me, i will be holding my nose in the voting booth.
I think many might question how good a Christian Obama really is, many feel he is a Muslim. I am not criticizing him for that, if it is true, but I certainly would not refer to him as a good Christian, a good family man, yes, but so is Romney. Bullying is not a good thing regardless, but what did you do in high school you might not be proud of admitting? I certainly do not want to think about some of the things I did. As for his laying people off? Yes, but remember his job was to save and/or turn around companies, sometimes this means getting rid of employees, like it or not. What good does it do to keep the employees if the company is going to go under..My husband has been layed off twice because of company cut backs, it is life and you live with it. I was demoted for the same reason and our daughter, who was a VP with 32 years with a company got chopped last year. In none to these cases did we blame the company.

Oh, and you talk about Obama taking a stand and being a nice guy? Holy cow, you can't really be serious about that? He is anything but...in my opinion.

Saying that, I am not crazy over Romney either, but I will support him. He is the only choice we have at this stage..

Those must be the same folks who insist that Bush planned the 9/11 attacks.

I don't know Romney personally, so I couldn't say that I like or dislike him.

I would vote for romney, but besides having the wrong skin color, i haven't made partner at my firm yet. I have about another 12 years to go, so basically I would be screwed under him right now.

Serious food for thought:

Who Is Barack Obama? - Michael Gledhill - National Review Online

...
Dreams is a complex, introspective book. Its theme is how Obama, born in Hawaii to a white student mother and Kenyan student father, grows to view himself and the white society around him. The Obama of Dreams abandons his multiracial roots to forge an alienated black identity — that of a man steeped in radical ideology who views history in terms of a huge chasm separating oppressor from oppressed, white from black, and rich from poor; a man who is never more emotionally at home than when sitting in the church pew listening to Rev. Jeremiah Wright rant about white racism....

Great speech.

And 100% correct. On all counts.
