In the interest of fair disclosure, I wish there was a better choice than Romney... it really is voting AGAINST Obama... and that is sad. In a country of 300 million the best
two choices are Obama and Romney... I sure wish a libertarian could get traction.
Here is what he did:
Failed to veto several ridiculous spending bills and tax increases despite his promise to not raise taxes on those under 250,000, not vetoing tax increases
makes him a liar. He said he would not increase taxes on those making less than 250k and he did. WRONG He has in fact lowered taxes
He is a liar! Having a liar as president creates uncertainty, which is bad for the economy
He has run up the debt to unsustainable levels (congress passes the bills of course, but he could have vetoed, so the buck stops with him)
WRONG again, although this is a complicated issue that needs a basic understanding of economics and the ability to use critical analysis to find causation.
Don't get me wrong, I'm no fan of Romney, but right now I am simply voting against the guy who failed to stop the predicament we are in, if Romney
can't fix it, I'll vote against him in 4 years if given a reasonable alternative.
Bad idea. If Obama is actually heading us in the right direction but we are "further away" then anyone first thought, if you then elect someone who is going to take us in the wrong direction we will only be that much worse off
You can't spend or borrow your way out of a debt crisis... we should all know that here, Obama and Congress (all of them) apparently do not. So we
stack on trillions of debt a year.Again, this is not necessarily correct and not as simple as you would like to make it. A study of basic economics specifically a study of Keynesian Economics might help
If Obama was honest he would have vetoed the SCHIP expansion, because it raised taxes on those making less than 250 a year, he would have vetoed the
healthcare bill for the same reason. He made a promise, lied to me and my fellow americans, and piled debt on the backs of our children.
??? Obama has LOWERED taxes. SCHIP helps our children get health care it was paid for buy a tax on cigarettes.
I won't even go into his desire to restrict my second amendment rights, but that alone would be reason enough to vote against him for me, though I doubt
Romney is much better.
