In his convention speech Joe Biden warns Republicans against betting against America. This election will come down to what vision you have of the USA. The choices couldn't be more clear.

"Republicans are betting against America".... And people are expected to swallow that? Have people simply stopped thinking?
"I'm betting against America, vote for me." Yeah, that works; that makes sense.

Blah blah blah. Both the Dems and the Republicans have given us no vision for America - just rhetoric and a lot of hot air. They both do the same things that they accuse each of other of. Both have caused the problems and the solutions are not found in them. I have a vision for America: Dare to be free again. Vote Libertarian.

The Republicans won't say it explicitly like that, but their actions prove otherwise. This will be the defining theme of this election. It was the most poignant thing that came out of the Democratic convention. Americans always choose the party or candidate which is most optimistic and which promotes the possibilities of America.

I can't vote in this poll since it is based on a fallacious argument. Republicans are the ones who believe in a better America - are proud to be Americans! Adding more good paying jobs, backing small business. The democrats only want to apologize for America and manage it decline. Adding more food stamp recipients, more people on Medicaid, more middle class families falling into poverty.

Yet all I saw at the RNC convention was doom and gloom and talk of America in decline. The DNC convention on the other hand was optimistic and upbeat. There were lots of talk about American possibility and what we can achieve as a nation. The Democrats looked far more patriotic than the Republicans to me.

Well, "doom and gloom and America in decline" is the path we are on. Our only HOPE is that we can CHANGE presidents.

If you were one of the 23 million Americans looking for work, you wouldn't be too upbeat.

Actions? I agree actions speak louder than words.
Pay outs to political friends. Check Obama has succeeded.
Huge waste. Check Obama has that nailed.
Never been in business and has no clue how to sypport business. Check Obama/Biden are a dream team.
The only thing Obama will deliver is deeper debt.
Another useless poll
