Technically the Untied States is a representative democracy. Might seems like a small difference but its not.

History tells us that walking off cliffs has proven disasterous in the past, but some cliffs are only a few feet high and sometimes there's water or snow at the bottom to catch our fall. Hmm..

Walking along the road is what got us to where we are now. Sure it's not a great place and it's dangerous and icy, but we're probably not going to die...

I guess since both plans are flawed they each have equal chance of 'succeeding'?
We cannot take four more years of obama's road, much less 40.

We barely survived 8 years of the same policies under Bush. How do people forget so quickly how bad the GOP f'ed things up?

I want to improve the economy too! In fact I think you'd be hard pressed to find a single person who doesn't. But the HOW is much harder, especially when we're dealing with a world wide economic situation, one country is not going to pull it out of the crapper, even the US, and especially not the way we are right now.
He needs to kill obamacare, then make a permanent tax policy, kill many of obama's and bush's harmful EPA regulations, and just add some economic stability.

With Obama, no one in business can write a five year plan, because no one knows what their taxes will be next year, or how much their employees health care liability will be from one month to the next. Obama's admin is erratic, nonsensical, destructive and incoherent.

Even now, businesses are going to shed jobs over the next few months, because of Obama's tax and regulatory Armageddon on January 1, 2013.

"God", "Gays", "Kenyan", "Commie", "Socialist", "Muslim"... fools fall for all that easily.

Must be a whole lot of really lousy businessmen out there which would go a long way to explaining the sorry state of the economy.

Reality Check...
Private Sector Jobs, Jan 2000 thru Jan 2010: -3.4 million
Private Sector Jobs, Jan 2010 thru Jan 2012: +3.6 million

Obama had the audacity to chastise GWB's deficits when he was running for office, only to obliterate all of Bush's spending increases records.

Toss in the fact that the Democrats demolished the housing market thanks to Bubba & Barney, as well as Obamacare, an out-of-control EPA and other government agencies, and tons of new regulations, and it's no wonder that our 'recovery' is a mirage.

I'm not so sure he was out to destroy the economy...that was just a byproduct of his incompetence.
