[martinezsam2495]

Just wondering why did you choose Romney?

[got_a_300]

I always just say I voted for the other guy. LOL!!!

[The German Shepherd]

Just wondering why did you choose Romney?

Because Obama is ideologically Socialist and Romney's values more closely reflect my Biblically informed values.

There is waaay to much to list....

I voted Romney. The lesser of the two evils in my opinion. One are I do disagree with Romney is immigration. I really don't see why we can't find a way/procedure for current illegal immigrants to become legal. Immigration is a touchy subject and I understand both sides BUT I also understand that my ancestors were immigrants and after visiting other countries, know I was just lucky to be born here.
Also, I'm anti-abortion. That's hard for me because I believe in freedom of choice which totally goes against my view about abortion.
On defense spending, etc. They are both stone faced liars that don't deserve to be commander-in-chief. Obama really ticked me off with some of his ads taking credit for killing Osama Bin-Laden. He and his cabinet didn't do it. The SEALs did. All they did was give the order which is totally different.

No offense to anybody was intended.

Voted, but went 3rd party candidate. Don't think Obama has done a good job, but conversely, I don't think Romney is the answer. The biggest problem, as I see it, are the people that get elected to Congress. The President is a figure head, Congress could determine the direction of the country if they learned to work together for the greater good. But they all to often vote party instead of what is best for the country. Just my perspective.

[martinezsam2495]

Interesting...
I believe there should be a chance for 3rd parties to win, because think about it, honestly they don't even have a chance. Everything is mostly on Republicans and Democrats. How is it equal if 3rd parties have a better chance to be struck by lightning than become president.

I voted Obama. I think he'd win in a bowling match too.

P.S. Ask Mike what he thinks about Romney!

Obama really ticked me off with some of his ads taking credit for killing Osama Laden. He and his cabinet didn't do it. The SEALs did. All they did was give the order which is totally different.


Obama made the call to go for bin Laden without getting permission from Pakistan. In 2008, Obama said in a speech that if we had actionable intelligence of a high-value target in Pakistan, we'd go in and get that high value target." Mitt Romney said that was foolish. He wouldn't do such a thing. That he wouldn't move heaven and earth to get Osama bin Laden. He said he wouldn't invade Pakistan without permission.

Yes, we all know the SEALS did the job, and they deserve a lot of the credit. However, Obama made the decision to send them in, a decision that Romney might not have made, and bin Laden might still be alive today and who knows, perhaps another attack could have happened.

[billf]

All Spec Ops members know they will never get credit for what they did/do. The President should have just kept his mouth shut. By initiating the conversation by boasting about it as soon as it happened, he lost all plausible deniability. After that he goes to take credit as the ad said, "I'm the one that killed Osama Bin-Laden". That's a politician though, twist the truth and tell a lie. I don't particularly like Romney either.

[JaMau24]

Hell, I thought Mike was gonna blow a gasket talking about Romney tonight at bowling league... :D

[Ball99999]

All day I have been so nervous I almost threw up. Never in my lifetime has an election been more important. People make up all kinds of rumors about Obama but he has done a good job and this economy is in recovery and these are both facts that cannot be disputed. If people want someone to blame blame the tea party-ers.

[Ball99999]

Err what? if jesus existed he would have been considered a socialist.
Evolutionarily speaking, human society would never have developed if we didn't help everyone at least a little bit.

[Hampe]

I'm an expat but don't vote because voting internationally is a bit of a hassle. I also don't like the bi-partisan US political system. There can never be any gray areas or any cooperation with the two parties. Even if one side has a good idea to fix something, the other side disagrees and ****s on the idea simply because the idea came from the other side. Until that changes I won't ever give a damn about US politics.

[GeoLes]

Unfortunately, my candidates did not win. I chose the write-in option:

President: Ross Perot
Vice President: Sara Palin

A real winning team, I think. Don't you agree?

I'm a firm believer that one key factor to becoming the president is having a military background. With as much firepower as we possess, you need someone who knows a little something about that strength. I also always loved his non PC attitude. I really think we are becoming a nation of pansies who's feelings get hurt over the tiniest of things. If people would learn the world is a tough place and not everyone has to be nice we would be much better off.

WellI guess I won't be coming to you for any theological questions...Not only did He exist, but there is more written history to prove it (OUTSIDE of the Biblical record) than there was written about all of the Caesars COMBINED. And no, he would not have been considered Socialist...
