A little right of me, not far right. I did however respect his pragmatism.

that is more a reflection on how truly far left wing you are compared to mainstream America then a fair assessment of american political candidates

Sounds like the right wingers who say Bush wasn't Conservative. They also think the Pope isn't a "real" Catholic.

I wouldn't know about the pope, i was raised protestant and my wife is a catholic church refugee so I don't spend any time worrying about that. Bush was a big government republican

Sad, Hussein Obama will send you a thank you card....I am not a Romney fan either but he is better then Hussein.

No he isn't any better. I lived through his "Governorship" here in Mass. It was horrific for those of us who actually ARE Conservatives. Obama's "thank you" card would go right into the trash. Maybe it would end up next to President Bush I's "letter" to me when I achieved the rank of Eagle in the BSA and all other unsolicited political correspondence.

Wow...59% to 40% Ubama. Can't believe this many people would actually consider voting for him again. I try to look at the big picture, not the little pieces and what I see is if you want bigger government, higher taxes, skyrocketing energy and food prices, continuing an atmosphere to discourage job growth, healthcare higher than before, out of control debt...then I guess Ubama is your guy.

I think this is more of an indication of who makes up of this forum. For example, if I took the same poll in San Francisco it would probably be at least 80 to 20 for Obama.

Yes, if we ever have a viable liberal candidate I would vote for him or her, but I never said I voted for McCain as you stated.

Ah, Ron Paul then?
 
I find it just amazing that people really beleive voting for any of their pre-selected and screened 'choices' are going to produce different results, and that there are actually two 'parties'.

And some claim people who send money to televangelists are crazy and stupid.

Still don't get it. I honestly don't know why anyone would vote for him. He's done nothing but divide the country with class and race. Stifled job creation. He's said he wants energy prices to skyrocket to push his green crap. The debt is exploding, we've been downgraded again....just don't get it.

It seems that too many people look toward the government as all knowing and wonderful, and think it is the only monopoly that is pure and just. And too many people don't believe this:

"The free market is the only economic system that produces on a sustainable basis, and for the overwhelming majority of Americans, an abundance of food, housing, energy, and medicine--staples of human survival; it creates an astonishing array of consumer goods that add comfort, value, and security to the quality of life; and the free market recognizes that it is in man’s DNA to take risks, to innovate, to achieve, to compete, and to acquire--to not only survive but also improve his circumstance."

Wrong yet again. Gambling, and speculation on insider information aren't 'hard work'. People who actually do hard work at real jobs are the poorest people on the planet, and overwhelmingly die poor as well, no matter how hard they work.

Working for a corporation owned by absentee owners and stockholders, who may not even be living in the same country or even the same hemisphere, isn't 'working for themselves', either.

The 'self-made man' myth is just that, a myth.

I have to say, if I could vote in an American election (which I cannot) I would vote for Obama over Romney any day of the week.

They're both not exactly stellar candidates but if you have to choose between **** and ****ter you choose ****.

I respectfully disagree. Switch the two around, and I think you've got a keeper.

Can you tell me when in the last 30 years that a GOP president reduced the National debt? All Romney is offering is more spending and cutting revenues to pay for it. That's the same thing that brought us the last 30 years of debt.

Thanks, but no thanks!

It explains much that you don't know the difference between a libertarian and a liberal?

You have to take into consideration that this forum leans heavily to rthe left they just don't like to identify themselves as such but their posts give them away as the liberals they are.........

To clean up the mess left by the GOP. The president has proposed cutting our most wasteful spending and increasing revenues, the exact opposite of what Romney proposes.

Perhaps cutting taxes for the rich even further is your highest priority. It isn't my highest priority.

Romney proposes spending even more and cutting revenues to pay for it. If you still believe in the trickle down theory fairy, by all means vote for Romney.

Most of us feel like we've been bitten by that dog enough.
