Just being realistic. I think he sucks, and don't like him. But I think he is going to win.

Why is that you think? Is it maybe because 47 percent are on some form of government assistance? You see a pattern here? You think it can last at this rate? People are voting for their own demise and don't realize it....

Can't argue there. Romeny in my mind is just a lesser Obama, but a whole lot less scary..... Obama is a radical and dangerous. I'll vote to get him gone and that's my reasoning.....

I could get on board with the lesser of the two evils argument if Romney could sell me on the fiscal conservativeness. Obviously, as a Libertarian, I am socially liberal which puts me at odds with the current Romney; but ironically in line with the Romney of yesteryear.

I am not sold on Romney or the majority of the GOP being fiscally conservative. I am not sold that they are hell bent on achieving a balanced budget at all cost. I am not sold on them making the tough and potentially politically suicidal choices of reforming Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and welfare.

Kind of ironic don't you think? What is Obama doing there guy? Borrowing us into oblivion and beyond. No budget in 3 years and about as clueless as it comes to economics as it gets..

People are not going to vote money out of their own pockets.

So that's what we're left with, a society dependent on government? There is a word for that you know... Actually a couple of them.. Is that where it's going in your opinion? You know it's close to the breaking point now?

Let me guess. You think that keeping money out of the economy will increase economic growth. lol That is practically the PR mantra of the Republican Party. But George Bush's terms were one long splurge of borrow and spend. You can deny it all you want, but everybody knows, from beginning to end.

Or do you think that the boom and bust business cycle that existed for centuries will disappear, if we go back to the unfettered good old days when excessive speculation and depression were a routine reality of our economy. Or is it that you support economic depressions and want to cause one of your own?

It's sad... People think that money is free with no strings attached. It's going to cost them their freedoms in the end. Some don't care though..

Actually, it's not. George W. Bush spent money like it was falling from the sky. In his administration, government spending went up at the fastest rate since the middle of World War Two.

Ill never understand this. Bush came into office with a surplus left us with a HUGE deficit... He starts a war on the notion of removing weapons of mass destruction (never found)... spent money like crazy... jobs were going overseas at a rapid rate...his buddies were getting paid like crazy due to thier investments in war time companies...the way 9/11 and Katrina were handled was absolutely pathetic AND yet all is forgotten and forgiven. My how easy we forget!

BTW whats the terror alert today? red to orange and back to red? If Romney does get elected I pray to God he is better than Bush!

I don't disagree with most of this but the myth of the surpluses still perpetuates - the deficits came prior to the big spending binges. The recession of 2000-2001 along with the economic effects of 9/11 guaranteed any person in office would see the "projected surpluses" turn to deficits. W made it worse than it could have been but those surpluses were gone regardless of WH inhabitant.

My girlfriend is in school to be a Doctor. She is what i call "anti-greedy". She honestly only wants to be a doctor because she feels its her Christian duty to help people. With the amount of studying she does she only has time to work a part-time job that pays her around 15K a year(Needless to say I pay for everything). I joke with her that she is a "moocher" because I help take care of her so she can concentrate on her studies. Due to Romneys comments I was able to call her today and inform her that she falls in the 47% of the lazy and entitled. I told her to start caring about her life. She got the joke. Thanks Mitt....I would have never been able to call my girlfriend a moocher and get away with it.
