Are you serious? Hitler was an atheist. He hated Catholics. He put many in the chambers for standing up for Jews. Try again!

don't sweat it-99percenter also claimed that the schmuck who murdered a REPUBLICAN Federal judge and crippled Gabby Giffords was a Tea Party activist too His posts tend to be on the far side of moon bat whacko

Also, 99percenter, not a great debate tactic to toss out ridiculous crap when you don't have any other recourse. It's best to just keep quiet, dear. Schools as employers house 100x more pedophiles than the Church. Also, as far as the Church and Hitler, um, the Catholic Church did more than any other institution to try to stop the Nazis. Our last Pope was recently recognized by a Jewish group for it, actually.

Though, I've pretty much 100% decided I will not vote for Obama, I've declared in the past I won't vote for someone, and change my mind. There is one event that I can think of that would push me to vote for Obama. I admit I can be mean when I'm pushed, but otherwise I'm a nice, moderate person who changes on issues and open to changing her mind. That is why I like the political climate I'm in; people have strong beliefs but also are open-minded to change - to change on issues, to change whole political parties. That's partly why several people here have rubbed me the wrong way, and, yeah, their tactics of gang-banging and baiting, too. Really doesn't do much for their side. They're probably turning off way more people than they know. Romney should be paying some of them, lol!

I wish I was in that position... I'm a centrist from MA, and every vote I've cast in a Presidential Election is essentially a wasted vote.

I think there are a lot of moderate democrats in your same shoes right now. Average Americans who are onto the false prophet that Obama portrayed himself to be. They aren't completely sold on Romney, but they don't like Obama.

As a major supporter of Romney, for the fact that when he ran Massachusetts, he ran it with a results oriented inclusionary approach, which brought all sides together (and I dont mean bi-partisan, I mean he brought business professionals, non-profit organizations, watch dogs, etc.) to make the right decision, then went after that doggedly to get it accomplished... I personally feel, that these middle ground Republicans and Democrats will flock to the polls, voting their wallets, and voting their conscience, by supporting Romney as the more qualified candidate for fixing the finances of the US Govt. However, there are going to be some very targeted battles in several key swing states, which will likely go back and forth down to election day, based on biased media report battles from each side...

You will be the target of those campaigns. You will be among those who get to decide the election.

No he was a christian and he was explicit on why he committed the holocaust. He says he was a christian so he is christian.

The catholic church approved of nazism. Let's not try to rewrite history.

Yes some of them were lutheran but christian none the less. The holocaust was one of the most heinous crimes ever committed by Christianity.

Those are good reasons. However, my number one reason is I think he'll start an unnecessary war with Iran that will end up destroying our country as we know it.

4) I oppose socialism-universal healthcare is socialism

An oft-repeated myth. Universal health care simply means everyone has it. It could be achieved via socialism or via other means. The system in Great Britain actually is socialist since the government owns it. However, the one in Switzerland is not. They use private non-profit companies regulated by the government. That's not socialist. That's not my opinion; it's a fact.
