OK. I have been reading and listening to all the politicial stuff coming my way through email and have been quite but now I will say something and I beleive that I am 100% right in what I am about to say.

Once again we do not have a good choice for the Office of President of the United States. Neither of these men running should become a leader in my country. We have once again be given bad choices because of the way our party system works (not how it is setup). Both voting parties made bad choices once again. I do not know yet who I will vote against (not for) this year because I have trouble deciding who will do the least damage to the country. So for now all I can say is God Help Us One and All.

Since you are undecided, let me suggest that you vote against the current resident of the White House. Four more years of his regime will create even more destruction of American values.

Romney will have his problems, but I don't think he is out to destroy America by "fundamentally changing" America.

nope been here been watching, listening and reading. I am very aware whether you choose to believe that or not. The last two elections were in the same boat as far as I am concerned. For some reason the people we need to run do not. In case you are wondering I love my country and have served it willingly once upon a time and would again if need be. The only problem is I am not smart enough to fix the things here that need it and we haven't seen anyone in quite a while that can that has run for the highest office in the land. Now that is what is really sad.

So then vote for someone else via write in, or vote for one of the others who will be running. I do believe Roseanne Barr is a candidate for president. 8-)

How about this, Obama has budgeted over $20 trillion in debt for his second term, and just a week or two ago he told a crowd that our debt is not a problem as the world has such confidence in the US and our economy that they are loaning us money at low interest rates.... National Debt not a problem? Go back to his 2008 remarks about GW being unpatriotic for running up the national debt and what that meant for future generations.... President Obama is less than honest, in fact he lies, he full well knows that the Fed is printing money and buying our debt and that is why interest rates are where they are at, he also fully understands what this does to retired people in this country. He also fully understands that by the end of his second term we will be headed towards $2 trillion deficits because the Fed can not hold down interest rates for ever without grossly devaluating our currency and when they do return to normal the interest alone on our debt will be approaching $1 trillion for which we will receive nothing in return.... Thanks to the Fed's sustained activity in QE1, QE2, and QE3 our interest currently is in the range of $250 to 300 billion, but that is like 1.25% interest, historically it has been closer to 5%...

The president has no answers other than more of same failed experiment that has done nothing to restore our economy.

Blurryeyed has it right. His analysis is right on. It won't be many years before the entire federal income will have to go toward interest on the debt; with nothing in return except a receipt for the payment. Of course we will do what most bankrupt countries do, which is pay the debt with inflated dollars. INFLATION YOU CAN BELIEVE IN !!!

Think this over, then vote.

Well you are smart enough to figure out that it won't make any difference who wins. Either candidate will take the same ball and run with it.
We do not have a two party system as I see it because no matter which party is in power there is no change, both of them are running us full speed into a police state.

A write-in vote is a wasted vote as there is no chance of winning. The best course of action is to choose the lesser of two evils.

Not sure if he is on your state's ballot, but former New Mexico governor Gary Johnson is the Libertarian candidate on many ballots. From his Wiki:

Quote:
Johnson holds fiscally conservative, socially tolerant views, and a philosophy of limited government and military noninterventionism. As well as a libertarian, he has often identified as a classical liberal. Johnson is in favor of simplifying and reducing taxes. During his governorship, Johnson cut taxes fourteen times and never increased them. Due to his stance on taxes, political pundit David Weigel described him as "the original Tea Party candidate". Johnson supports balancing the federal budget immediately. He supports "slashing government spending", including Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. His plans include cutting Medicare and Medicaid by 43 percent and turning them into block grant programs, with control of spending in the hands of the states to create "fifty laboratories of innovation". He advocates passing a law allowing for state bankruptcy and expressly ruling out a federal bailout of any states. Johnson has expressed opposition to the Federal Reserve System, which he cites as massively devaluing the strength of the U.S. dollar, and would sign legislation to eliminate it. He otherwise supports an audit of the central bank, and urged Members of Congress in July 2012 to vote in favor of Ron Paul's Federal Reserve Transparency Act.
In his campaign for the Libertarian Party nomination, he stated he opposed foreign wars and pledged to cut the military budget by 43 percent in his first budget as president. He would cut the military's overseas bases, uniformed and civilian personnel, research and development, intelligence, and nuclear weapons programs. He is opposed to the United States' involvement in the War in Afghanistan and the Libyan Civil War. He has stated that he does not believe Iran is a military threat, would use his presidential power to prevent Israel from attacking Iran, and would not follow Israel, or any other ally, into a war that it had initiated.
Johnson is a strong supporter of civil liberties and received the highest score of any candidate from the American Civil Liberties Union for supporting drug decriminalization and having a pro-choice stance on abortion, while opposing censorship and regulation of the Internet, the Patriot Act, enhanced airport screenings, and the indefinite detention of prisoners. Johnson endorsed same-sex marriage in 2011; he has since called for a constitutional amendment protecting equal marriage rights, and criticized President Obama's position on the issue as to have "thrown this question back to the states."

It's time for a viable third party in American politics.
