2. Health care for all

3. So many are unemployed and under employed and we need to provide them with a safety net until they find a job in which they can support themselves.

4. The U.S. needs to become a country without borders and we need to stop demonizing those who come here to the land of opportunity. We must allow any and all to come here freely without the red tape system of documents, papers, etc. Papers and pedigrees are for animals, not for humans. We are a country of humans.

5.We need to give more power to the executive branch of government so actions can be taken without all the slowing down of debating and passing laws of the legislative branch, and then the second guessing of a group of unelected people in the judicial branch.

6. There is real unfairness in this country. Some are wealthy and some are really scratching to get by. This is America. We are supposed to be equal. We need to have a fair system for the distribution of wealth so there are none who have more than others

There, I did better than 3 reasons. I gave you 6 --double what you asked for.

My thoughts exactly. Let's keep blaming GWB years after he is out of office. Lets just ignore the fact that President Obama has added more debt to our nation that any other President by far.

As far as a safety net goes we have too much of one. My unemployed son in law was on unemployment insurance for TWO YEARS!!!! It just ended a couple of weeks ago. If it had run out six months or one year after he started getting it he would have found a job. Not the job he has been looking for that utilizes his MBA but never the less a job.

My daughters logic was that if he took the jobs available they would only pay the same or barely more than the unemployment insurance and he would not have time to apply and interview for well paying jobs like he has had in the past. Also that he would not be able to babysit their children while she worked as a waitress.

My point was that if his unemployment insurance had been cut off a year ago and he had taken a job paying only about the same as the unemployment, there is a good chance that by now he would have been promoted and gotten a pay raise if he was doing a good job!!!

So even in a conservative family human nature takes the path of least resistance and when the hand out is there sadly my supposedly conservative son in law is taking it as long as possible.

I truly believe if Obama is reelected the very basis of our country, which is capitalism and self reliance will be gone as we will have crossed a rubicon it will not come back from.

Nothing of the sort can happen without Congress.

If you want to guide the path of our country, be more concerned about Congress.

Unilaterally, the President can only do so much.


It's election time and the "Obama is the boogey man rhetoric" from Bortz and some other guy that comes on talk radio (maybe Maxwell?) is nauseating.

There's no room for a balanced, moderate, America loving Conservative.


I plan to vote for Obama with these factors in mind:

1) It was IMPOSSIBLE for our country to come out in "tip-top shape" after four years regardless of who was elected for President. For inheriting leadership of a country that was leading the fight in two wars and on the brink of the worst national financial catastrophe since the Great Depression, Obama and Congress has obviously done a few things right or else things wold be much, much worse.


2) The American auto industry has GOD, President Obama, and Congressional Democrats to thank for their thriving existence today as most conservatives were willing to let these industries fail. I am glad they didn't fold.


3) With the political instability that has happened in the world in the last four years, I am glad that Obama has demonstrated wise and measured responses. I am disappointed on all parties' silence on what's going on in Syria, but I am not sure of the financial wisdom of getting America involved there and I am sure that politically it would be a disaster for Obama's base. As for Romney, I don't think Romney has any fight in him. He's trying to appeal to as many Democrats and Indies as possible, that means he is going to do all that he can to appear like Obama-- which won't be hard for him at all.


4) He delayed Keystone, but if there aren't any MAJOR environmental consequences to the project, then I am sure that he will move forward with it. Absent any major environmental consequences, he would be foolish to not move forward with Keystone.


5) I like Obama, and I Romney is the one candidate that I refuse to support-- regardless of his running mate.

If you really want to have this discussion, why not go to a more diverse political environment and ask? I'm sure you would get responses aplenty.

Stew, i dont believe that to be true,(98%) btw im Dem and everyone knows how i feel about this resident in chief,i have a question for you, did you vote for him and did you do it because he was a black man(or the closest we ever had anyway)? and 2 will you vote for him again even though everyone has now seen what a lefty, idealogue ,socialist ,friends with capitalist hating persons he is ? PS i also beleieve HE hates capitalism since he has stated that govt is responsible for the greatness of this country.

canam,
I really don't appreciate your repeated accusations. Boldly, I post what I post under my real name-- not hiding behind a monicker. I haven't lied in my posts. Neither have I stated anything that would come close to justifying your accusations.

In fact, it is YOU that is playing the race card. If you vote for Romney, will it be because he is white? So why would I vote for Obama simply because he is black or half black?


Instead of groundsless accusations, reply to the logical points I have stated, supporting my decision to vote for the incumbent President.

I will vote for who I vote for not based on race but on their qualifications to lead the Nation. I will not vote for a socialist who thinks the Constitution is a deeply flawed document.

Romney takes the term "flip-flopper" to a whole new level-- but very few are calling him on this.

"Flip-flops" are the worst kind of politician and have no patience for Romney and career politicians like him. They haven't the slightest clue about honesty.

I'm not a Romney fan and most likely will have to hold my nose to vote for him. I would love to be able to vote for someone who is honest and outside of the Dem/Repub establishment, and who holds to the Constitution and Declaration with respect. Someone who cares more for our Country than there on interests. That most certainly is not Obama. You are right is saying that we need to have a Congress who is looking out for the Country over special interest.
