I really don't want another 4 years of Obama. Frankly speaking he has provided little leadership and doesn't seem to be at the wheel. But when I look at these people the Republicans are putting up to run against him, I guess I will have to stick with him this time and hope for better choices in 2016. One thing about Obama, while he is inept and incompetent, he does not scare me. The Republicans are frankly scary. All I hear from them is war mongering against Iran, ban all abortions and even contraception, cuts to "entitlements" which I might point out were EARNED by the American people who pay Social Security and Medicare taxes separate from Federal taxes and more spending on the military. We already spend too much in the military and after 2 wars, we sure as hell don't need a third one going. And I am not about to force women to have babies they don't want. So I guess I will just stick with the devil I know. The one that is in there now.

I'll call BS here. You would likely never, ever vote against him.

You can say what you want sir and I will respect your opinion. But you are wrong. I would love to vote against Obama. I did not vote for him to begin with. I wasn't crazy about McCain either but he was not insane like the crop that are running now. We don't need a dangerous President. We need a sane President. I could still switch possibly to Romney but only if he distances himself from the doctorine of the Mormon church. Like my caffine and I do not want to wake up one day and find coffee banned.

So what is it about Romney when it comes to SS and Medicare that you find more appealing as compared to the other candidates?

2016 will be too late. WAKE UP!! If you don't know why 2016 will be too late, you're not paying attention.

Since you think that there's no one to vote for, may as well vote for a 'do-nothing' president, right?

It appears you would want someone more liberal than Obama, maybe a socialistic President? Other than Obama's socialistic leanings you are going to have to wait many years to find someone you can support I fear.

By what idiotic stretch of the imagination have you concluded that that's likely to happen?

Aren't you forgetting one guy?

Ron Paul, the guy who doesn't want a war with Iran?

Ron Paul, the guy who will preserve Social Security and Medicare for people already in the plan, but will allow young people to opt out if they want to?

Ron Paul, the guy who will leave pro-life/pro-choice decision up to the states, respecting the 10th Amendment of the Constitution?
