Here's an example of why I distrust Obama:

What he said in NY, re: "We will leave no one behind" after leaving some
servicemen and US embassy personnel behind in Benghazzi.

There is a list of other things he said and did, but I shall not go into it
here, as I do not have the 16 to 24 hours it would take to type them out.
Let's just say just about everything he has said and done in the last ......
well, as long as the slimy little slug has been around.

That's all you perceived? What about the ubiquitous waffling. This
man has not been steadfast about very much. Note that he now is
backing off his abortion stance that he used during his quest for the
nomination. Now that he has it the more conservative Republicans
will see a lot of that.

Speculation that could all be resolved except the most transparent
administration evaaaaahhhh is doing all it can to brush this under the
rug. And his minions in the liberal press are doing all they can to help

Neither party see much advantage in following up to promises made to
people who are solidly in their respective camps.

And neither party will give up power once they get it. Their biggest
power is the power to spend, which is why both parties have similar
records on increasing spending.

That isn't what happened.

If you spend two years saying your opinions, views or beliefs are
"evolving", then you can't be said to be lying when you reach a new
conception of what is right after that time.

And both parties have had roughly equal success in growing the national
debt. The Democrats tend to favor social programs, while the Republicans
favor tax cuts and starting wars in foreign lands.

Power is transferred to the other pary all of the time. It is called

There is a pretty good correlation between increased debt and tax cuts
though.

There is a serious correlation between spending more than you take in.

The media is 100% in the tank for Obama. Any moron can see that. Do you
really think this would be a non-issue if this happened during a
Republican administration? No fucking way.

We have no better laboratories than the states and the EU. We can easily review what they did about taxes and regulations and see the results.

There is a 100% correlation between high taxes and regulation with unemployment and distress. Spain and France and Italy have allowed their liberal sentiments to override good business and economic sense. So their productive have flown away and they have had to borrow to support their welfare states. States with Republican Governors are ALL better off than those with Democrat governors. Illinois and California are basket cases. Texas and Utah are doing fine, even with the load of the federal government on them.

Obama started the US on the road to the EU. We have national debt almost 10 times our annual GDP and he would add at least $1Trillion annually with not even a hint of a reduction in future years. He has not even produced a budget that got more than a SINGLE VOTE in congress. The Senate has not even proposed a budget in several years. Obama and Harry Reid know any realistic budget would be instantly rejected-- by both sides! No Democrat could be reelected after voting for an irresponsible bill, so they just don't vote!! Even though a budget is required by law.

So even as the EU will continue borrowing to stay afloat, the US needs a "daddy" to come down to the basement and turn off the music and close the bar. The party is OVER! Romney will be "daddy," and he will do what needs to be done, whether he is popular afterward or not. VERY LIKELY he intends to be POTUS only 4 years, until he is 70 years old. Then he will retire.

I think it's pretty clear based on the post to which he was replying the
correlation is between spending more than you take in and increasing debt.
It's not like that relationship is a secret either by the way.

I marvel at your small-minded, but egotistical, bullshit. "Us" is
also something that is pretentious from you. Speak for yourself, I'm
sure that others may agree, but you can't say it for them.

The fact that I make that one vote tells you only one thing; that I
prefer Obama over Romney. The other votes I'm casting are for
senatorial races and state offices, much more important than
dogcatcher.

The more important elections are with Congress.

One thing that Romney is running on is the idea that the Republicans
won't be spending their primary effort in defeating Romney.

I don't know whether corporate bail outs were good for the country,
but when people vote for them for Bush, then swear that their primary
goal is to defeat Obama and switch their strategy - which causes them
to switch their efforts from such bail outs, I believe their new oath
is counter to their oaths to the country. An other word for that is
treason.

As we have seen over the past 4 years, it doesn't matter what Congress
does, Obama said he is the decider of whether things are constitutional.

Fiscal responsibility is not about one side of the equation, it's
about the whole thing. Entities can borrow, as long as the return
is worth the investment. Individuals, businesses, and governments
can be permanently in debt - as long as the wealth increase is worth
the interest payments. But when we have determined that the debt is
too much - the cost is bigger than the benefit, the actions should
result in lowered debt. If someone claims the debt is too high,
and preaches fiscal responsibility - and that someone gets power and
the debt goes up, that someone is not fiscally responsible.

Yes, he is too much like previous presidents there.

But the president doesn't control the purse strings nor the taxes,
economic issues are done by Congress.

It's interesting watching facts bounce off the true believers. It must
kill them to have to keep ducking the provable fact that historically
Republicans have been no more fiscally reliable than Democrats.

It is very simple. If you want 4 more years like the last 4, likely even worse unemployment and at least $6 Trillion more national debt and severely degraded national credit rating, vote for Obama. You will have only yourself to blame.

If you want to start turning this government around, vote Romney.

Certainly not popular with taxpayers who are still owed $25+ billion. Mitt

25 billion? That's probably something like an hour's worth of deficit

Of what "facts" do you speak? George Bush was probably the most fiscally
