I guess I don't understand how you come to the conclusion Romney is the Lesser of two evils because you think he will govern as a moderate when you know for a fact Barry is going to govern like a moderate. Especially WRT foreign policy.Quote:

I guess I think that put in the same situation, Romney would have signed the NDAA as well but without the (useless) signing statement. WRT Iran, I guess you did not hear the bit of saber rattling Romney dropped in his speech last night? Much less subtle than anything Obama is doing. And healthcare? That POS is about as moderate as anything you are going to get assuming you want to do anything about the problem.Quote:

He's also gonna do everything Obama did. He's gonna keep the Patriot Act going, he's gonna keep spending hundreds of billions on the military, he's gonna ignore or national deficit and spend on entitlement programs for his voters, he's gonna keep the nation building going in the middle east, etc. Neither one deserves the vote.Quote:

Someone in my shoes isn't exactly casting a vote for Obama by not voting for Romney.Quote:

Obama is a neo-con when it comes to foreign policy, lol.
Barry and Mitt are basically two legitimate turds on their own right.
I don't see either guy as a lesser evil either... and the people who vote to "get this guy out" and completely overlook that you're putting this other guy in are just missing half the picture and not really voting with conviction, IMO (except for team players, obviously, who are too emotionally invested with the team to really care about what exactly they're voting for).
romney has paid a lot more in taxes than youQuote:

Must be a child if you don't get the reference. Jab on the spelling. Not the name.Quote:
