I cant fathom a scenario where I'd be happier knowing I voted for someone that wasnt the candidate that most closely met my values...if I voted for someone else just thinking I could block another candidate I would regret that either way...to me, that is a wasted vote.

Romney is too dangerous to take that chance, not to mention the insanity in the GOP, generally. Can't risk it.

I would rather "waste my vote" on Gary Johnson from NM or Ron Paul, then vote for 2 puppets whom both take $$$ from Wall Street and every other lobbbyist.

Hope you don't have any family members in the military, or needing health insurance. There's a lot more at stake than just Wall Street and lobbyist money.

Romney is a neocon. He will run up further deficits and get us into another war a whole lot faster than Obama will.

Flat out wrong...Obama cant stop with the "conflicts" in places like Egypt and Libya and all of his bombing with drones. No difference between Obama and Romney when it comes to the potential for wars and / or conflicts.

Don't you mean Obama would be less likely thrust us into war with Iran? I hear Romney sabre-rattling every day. That snake-oil salesman scares me to death.

Yes, there is NO WAY anyone could have fixed all our problems in 4 years. We had a ton of problems WITHOUT the financial crash. When Obama was running, Iraq and the deficit were problems. Then came the Wall Street Crash. When I saw Obama standing on that stage in Chicago surrounded by his economic team, I thought at the time he'd be a one-term President because he was thrust into an IMPOSSIBLE situation. It really has to hurt to have so much hate directed at you day after day with no appreciation whatsoever of the mountain this man faced.
Yes, thanks for correcting me. Romney would just be a carbon copy of George W Bush getting us into useless wars with no way to pay for them, running up this country's debts and cutting entitlements like medicare and social security that we have paid for through our taxes for many years.

What IS foolish is to vote for someone you dont truly believe in.
Those who voted for Nader in 2000 got us 8 long years of George W Bush who brought our economy to its knees, spent $$ like a mad dog and got us into unpaid useless wars.

Wrong, those who couldn't come up with a more compelling candidate, or come up with policies and a platform to convince the American public that they were better choices were what resulted in a candidate winning that you don't approve of.

Never blame a voter for the results, its the candidates, the parties, and our horrible choices that put us where we are.

I thought the people who voted for Bush were the ones that brought us that.

Less than 3% voted for Nader, while 48% voted for Bush, yet you blame the 3%???????????
