Choices... Plenty of conservatives are pretty disappointed in Romney, but biting the bullet and voting for him.

I'd rather vote for someone who was a slight disappointment, than someone who is vowing to take away my health insurance...

Well here is a thought. If both Obama and Romney disappoint you so much why vote for either of them. Do a little research and find someone you like and write them in. Just think if all the people who are disappointed with both candidates wrote someone else in. We might have a whole different outcome in the election. And the remaining scumbags who managed to keep there jobs just might wake up and realize the people are tired of there crap.

Most things in life are just plain common sense when you sit back for a moment and think about it. People need to quit listening to everyone else or just following along with the herd. Everyone needs to quit trying to be someone their not and just be themselves. It will make your life much easier and a whole lot more fun.

I can go on...

Economically I've done great under Obama... although I think a President has little to do with economic and employment cycles...

I'm not sure that thinking Obama is horrifying because of some vague threat to a "way of life" is equivalent.
Interesting.....

Passing Obamacare through reconciliation was also a great compromise.

There also seems to be a more serious level of engagement between Democrats and Republicans on how to avoid the $1.2 trillion in across-the-board cuts over 10 years

If you can give specific examples to show that this isn't just another asinine lefty talking point I'll be happy to debate.

Frankly considering the state of the economy I could not possibly care less about this non-issue.

Santorum? That's old news so this "concern" of yours is yet another empty left wing talking point.

How does revoking the ACA take away your health insurance? Do you have a group policy?

Taking away his health insurance is one huge reason my son refuses to even think about Obama. He already knows that his employer wiill drop their employee insurance if that law stays in effect since it will be cheaper for them to pay the "tax" "fine" than continue paying for their employees. They like their policy but will lose it if Obamacare remains in effect. I wonder how many million people will see that happen.

I love to see Obama talk about helping the middle class and then forcing small businesses to drop their programs with the rules of Obamacare. Another of his major lies sticking out there.

Hill Poll: Majority think Obama changed country for worse

I'm wondering if those 1 in 5 Democrats are the ones not making donations.
I wonder what happened to your topic. I didn't see it discussed from the beginning but then I do believe that those in here haven't opened your link, as usual.

I did just that in the last election, and wrote in 'Hillary Clinton'.

Look what that got me.

At least you voted for who YOU wanted and still have your pride. And nobody can blame you for contributing to the mess this country is in.

What kind of hope or inspiration does Obama provide for anyone right now? I mean, this country is far worse off then it was 4 years ago andmainly due to Democratic policies.

Romney is a candidate who has turned business after business around. he has successfully ran and organized the Olympic games. We elected Obama who had zero experience. His nickname is "The Amateur" for a very good reason too. We need to elect someone who can turn this country around and make it prosperous again, reduce government spending, reduce government control and making this nation run well again so that business can succeed and employ people, who in turn have the opportunity to succeed.

How any one could vote for Obama rigth now after the last 3.5 years is just mind-boggling to me.
