Sad to say, I'm more likely to vote against someone. I just haven't decided if it will be against Obama or not.

I'm a staunch Democrat, but I probably won't vote for Obama in 2012. I voted for him expecting him to end the Bush tax cuts, shut down Gitmo, repeal the Patriot Act (or push for its repeal) and accelerate the withdrawl from SW Asia. Since he has done of these things, I'm having a hard time seeing why he deserves a second term.

If Ron Paul gets the GOP nomination, which of course he won't, I will vote for him. If Obama suddenly changes course drastically and does at least some of what he was elected to do ... ending the Bush tax cuts is a biggie ... I may vote for him.

I agree with you there. Three months ago, I thought Obama was doing a fairly good job but I've been really disappointed in his actions, or lack of, during the debt ceiling debate and his handling of the GOP in Congress.

I think he blew the first two years by focusing on healthcare reform instead of jobs.

Register in your state as a Republican and vote for Paul
in your state's primary. A step to Paul getting the
GOP nomination

There is only one candidate running for President that
can almost immediately fulfill one of his promises
after winning the election. Why - he'll be commander in chief

So far, I like Paul and Gingrich because they don't like the Federal Reserve. They are apt to be the most fiscally conservative as well.

I'll vote for whoever will protect this planet's ecosystems, and whoever will stop trying to criminalize scientists whose work shows results that don't fit the oil industy agenda.
