Your thoughts please.
Thank you!
Are you saying that Obama's record on the economy is so bad that we must elect Mittens Q. Romney? Or are you saying that Romney will be precisely as bad for the economy as Obama? Really not much to go on.
I'll just say...Obama's actually been okay on economic stuff as far as I'm concerned.
I believe that Mittens Q. Romney will be far better than community organizer/divider Barack Hussein Obama mmm...mmm...mmm!
Either way I feel it's going to be a joyless party line vote, as virtually no one on either side is particularly excited about their candidate.
True on the Democrat side of the aisle. Republicans will take anyone who has a chance to beat the President.

look, it's all a scam. There isn't a real choice here. The illusion is created by the power backers. The presidency is a convenient 4 year blame-catcher, to be tossed out and replaced when the dirt gets too thick.
Ah, but some of them are obviously good enough to catch the blame for 8 years straight...

So who would you rather vote for? John Jackson or Jack Johnson? To be fair, the economy was tanking as Obama took office and things like unemployment peaked during his first year. No sane person could possibly believe that anything he did caused that. Since then unemployment has been on the decline.
Romney's tax plan targets himself specifically. Virtually all of his income is from capital gains and dividends and he wants to cut taxes on those. Romney's Plan: keep the Bush tax cuts in place, capital gains tax at 15%, and get rid of the Medicare tax = 40% tax cut for Mitt Romney.
People like him need to wake up and realize that they should carry the tax burden of the United States and consider it a maintenance fee on a system that allows them to become so absurdly rich.
I believe that both will pretty bad for the economy. Slight edge to Obama, as his will be better short term.
I'll be voting for neither, though.

They don't need to pay the maintenance fee. they've already got what they want out of the system. So what if the next generation is a bunch of morons with no roads, bridges, or dams? He'll be dead before any of that matters.
They're quite awake, that isn't the problem. They know full well what they're doing and why: money my dear boy.
Obvious troll is obvious?
Poes raven is rather difficult to tell apart from the crows.

That's why I'm voting Green Party.
I'm curious what people think "Obama's record on the economy" is...because that certainly isn't clear to me.
If you support Obama, there is plenty, real and imagined, to like.
If you don't support Obama, there is plenty, real and imagined, to dislike.
And really, how much control does the president have, anyway? How much of what he gets the blame (or credit) for really has anything to do with him?
The principal philosophical diversion between parties should be over fiscal matters, because that is at least a reasonable argument to have. Unfortunately for most actual conservatives, the Republican party can't seem to stay out of people's business.
Thread locked. If you'd like to discuss this, please take the time to compose an original post that does not incite flaming or grar please.
