That is what the election will come down to. If you believe that America should only provide the best opportunities and standard of living for the rich and the super-rich then Romney is your man. If you believe that corporations have more value than human life and that the interests of average Americans should take a back seat to the interest of Wall Street then the GOP is your party, make your vote.

If you believe that America should provide equal opportunities for all to succeed and that every American should play their role in the upkeep of the nation, then Obama is your man. If you see value in America having a strong middle-class and that we should implement policies that will continue to strengthen this middle class then the Democratic Party is your best choice, make your vote.

It will be the classic battle between the 99% represented by Obama and the Democrats and the 1% represented by Romney and the GOP. It's the classic battle between good and evil... between money and people power. Who will win?

Another liberal poster attempting to rewrite history.

Obama and his Party had carte blanc for two years.

They did all the things they wanted to do.

Now, with the economy growing at less than 2% annually and the civilian workforce participation rate at the lowest level since May 1983, we want to ignore the fact that Obamanomics has completely failed by every objective measure and blame the GOP.


So predictable!



I'll take heartless Reaganomics with its 8% GDP growth rate, 66% workforce participation, soaring USD and collapsing inflation rate over this crap any day.

For those too young to remember, when Reagan asked us in 1984 if we were better off than we were four years earlier, this was our answer...

What a ridiculous thread.... Both men are elitest and neither really give a crap about the people of this country. Middle class champion Obama? What a joke. Wait till you wake up and find out he has sold you out and thrown you under the bus just like every president in the last 40 years has. Obama is not your new savior, he is your new Master.... Get used to it.

Yep! The politics of envy and class-hatred, stirred up as usuall by a group of shills for the left-wing elitists who are scared stiff that a few more of the special interests within their coalition will recognize how little is in it for them once all the other losers have been diapered and powdered.

The approrpriate name for this saber-rattling is demagoguery; and more and more of us aren't buyng.

This always makes me laugh. And hard. What is it I'm supposed to envy again? YOU? Newt? Mit? Those who've made their living through organized crime corrupting governance?

Kick the lobbyist wh*res of Babylon to the curb. Get out of my house.

obama is anything but a champion of the middle class, if he was a champion of the middle class, then everyone middle class and lower would be paying no tax at all.

the fact is, is that democrats, along with republicans are in the pocketbooks of big corporations, and would rather fleece the money of the poor and middle class, than to make their rich friends mad at them.

I did not vote in your obviously biased poll.

I also did not vote.

If Obama wins a second term, we're in big trouble.
If Romney wins the election, we're in deep doodoo.

And, Gingrich isn't any better.

I don't see any good options for the next election.
