Who are you supporting this election?

[Pandora]

Does it really matter? ....

Nope, it doesnt - and that's the terrifying thing. Doesnt.matter.one.bit.who.wins. We're screwed no matter who gets the office.

[tobee43]

The sad thing is our only two choices are Obama or Romney.

They're both horrible.

The problem is they are both from hopelessly broken political parties-- Democrats and Republicans.

It really is time for a viable third party, but I don't see that happening at any time in the near future..

Who got us in this situation? WE did. We kept puting horrible people in office decade after decade until we reached this point.

We decided a long time ago whoever ends up being the R nominee will get our votes, whether we like him or not. That's how serious we believe our country's situation is. Romney has the best chance of winning against BHO, so that's where our votes will go.

Yeah, I totally respect your position that's why I'm trying to gather information to make a decision who to support. Do you think sponsors/donations have a big influence on these candidates? To elaborate, do you agree with bank bailouts or believe that the "BIG" banks or corporations are in the best interest of the people? This question actually goes for anyone who has an opinion about this topic.. Thanks in advance..

Sure they do-in regards to sponsors/donations having a huge influence on candidates. Look, both parties are responsible for the mess this country is in now. That's why we strongly believe in term limits for these career politicians, because the longer they are in the more temptation to be corrupted by outside influences, i.e lobbyists, big money donors etc. I don't even want to get into bank bailouts here, so much corruption going on there and it's all intertwined with the Fed Reserve and our politicians. I do not think at all the banks and financial institutions have the interests of the taxpayers in mind, it's all about greed and corruption at the highest levels. Short term, these last four years we have seen a president with his own personal agenda that has weakened this country economically, internationally, and dividing this country like we have never seen in our lifetime, pushing his socialist agendas through first with Obamacare with D controlled house and senate. Now he is using his Executive powers because he cannot get his agenda through the R controlled House. So first we need a strong president to get us back on track economically and get people working, start using our own natural resources for energy which will create many jobs and keep our money here instead of spending it overseas to buy our energy sources. We really need term limits as career politicians have led us to this huge disastrous economic state we find ourselves in. People need jobs, people need to stop losing their homes, we need affordable energy, we need to heal the divisions created. Just as Carter needed to go, we lived through that mess too due to his policies, this one has got to go. If the American people vote BHO another term, then they deserve all the continued misery that will come from the next four years.

Yea, term limits did wonders for the California legislature. Sure miss Willie Brown..

And you think Willard has a magic juan? Americans are a impatient bunch with short attention spans. So if Willard wins, Medicaid will be privatized. Will you have $10,000 plus annual of your share when you hit 65?

People complain about the fact there are only two choices. It started with a much wider field. We have narrowed it down to two candidates. Personally, I'm voting for Anyone But Obama. As an avid fan of Disney, I'd quickly cast my vote for Mickey Mouse but I think there would be some problems with him once in office. Of course, since all the Presidents are at Walt Disney World - Magic Kingdom - Hall of Presidents, would it be bad to have one Mickey Mouse in the White House?

I've been a Republican most of my life even though I don't agree with their entire platform. I'd support Ron Paul if he wasn't such a nutcase.

The Democrats tend to watch out for the little guy more so than the pubs. Remember why we are all here. It was a pub controlled house and senate that passed the bk reform act. And W signed it. Getting older? On disabilty or medicare? Watch this election very carefully and vote with your head. The lessor of two evils is the sitting potus. Lets concentrate on getting the Obstructionists out of congress and maybe then things will improve for you and I.

Lesser of Two Weevils

There were two boll weevils. One grew up in Illinois and the other in Michigan. Both decided they wanted to be President of the United States in 2008. The Illinois boll weevil won the Presidency in 2008, the Michigan boll weevil became the lesser of two weevils.

Punny, for sure! But voting for either of these politicians will make you voting for either the better or lesser of two weevils.

Remember, a boll weevil is a beetle measuring an average length of six millimeters, which feeds on cotton buds and flowers. It can wipe out a cotton crop when in numbers and is a very destructive little critter on the economy.

Both of these boll weevils claim they are economic experts and both are politicians who support lining the pockets of big business as well as their own.
Remember again, politicians never die, they just smell that way.

Good luck with your choice of the lesser of two weevils.

Simple - Obama. I am actually surprised that people who frequent this site would have much of a debate on this issue. I suspect many here can remember the good economic times we had in the Clinton years. What changed? Bush enacted huge tax cuts, started 2 wars, and gave a huge windfall to big pharma. The writing was on the wall as to were we are today. The Republicans are ONLY for the top 1%. At least with the Democrats the common person has some chance. Romney does not care about anyone on this board, nor anyone who is not in the top 1% (or perhaps 1/10th of 1%). His suggestion to "fix" the economy is to make the Bush tax cuts permanent and in fact give bigger tax cuts to the super rich. The income disparity in this country has only widened in the last 30 years. Go play the game of Monopoly - it always ends when someone owns everything - we are headed there. Today the top 400 families in this country already have more wealth than the bottom 150 million people. Virtually all of the increased income the last 10 years have gone to the top 1%. Supple side economics was an interesting theory when I was in college -- it is no longer a theory -- it does NOT work. The economy is Not improving very fast because the engine of this economy - the middle class - has no money. They can no longer use the equity in their house as an ATM machine and their income has not been going up. The "job creators" are the middle class who are being decimated by all of the Republican policies. The choice in this election could not be any clearer.

Obama extended the Bush tax cuts and we are still in Iraq, Afganistan and probably Iran soon enough. The gap between the rich and the poor just keeps getting wider.



At least Obama has his priorities in order.

Keep talking about the 'prez and he will have someone go and break your bench.

[bcohen]

I proudly support Ron Paul, and voted for him in the primary. If he runs as a third-party candidate, he's got my vote. Otherwise, I will write in Mickey Mouse, as I think a cartoon character whom we all know and love is much more in touch with the people than either of the two clowns who are running under the major political parties. It won't take too many of these elections where we are forced to choose between bad and worse, while the people suffer, and the day of civil war will closer draw.
