Our biggest problem is the economy. We need the private sector to grow.
Compare and contrast the experience and track record of the candidates as it pertains to business and job creation and I think the choice is obvious.
Above and way beyond all reasons, Barry is STILL not a Repug.
And Dems not having 60 solid in the Senate, and not having the House, the Dems will be obstructed blindly, viciously, reflexively by the Repugs.

btw, Ryan has no business experience, and his district has been cratering. Gecko has never has business objective of creating jobs, only extracting wealth from takeover targets.
Gecko and Ryan, and the House Repugs who voted for Ryan's 99%-austerity/1%-enrichment budget TWICE, will cut spending, aka austerity, which is guaranteed to increase jobless, foreclosures, consumer spending, and prolong/deepen the Banksters' Great Depression.
Sorry, I can't. My answer becomes the lesser of two evils.Quote:

The budget and tax proposals put forth by Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney would not lead to the economic prosperity and job growth he has claimed, according to a new study released this week. In fact, the Economic Policy Institute found that Romney’s plans would actually lead to a net loss of jobs over the first two years of his administration, and the losses could grow even larger if Romney were to stick to his promise of reaching a balanced budget.
EPI had to make assumptions about Romney’s plan because of its lack of specificity, but according to its analysis, Romney’s plan to lower taxes and cut spending would cause a net loss of 554,000 jobs over the next two years if Romney abandons his plan to pay for the massive tax cuts he has promised. But if he maintains his promise to balance the budget while also providing the huge tax cuts, his plan would “lead to employment losses of 608,000 in 2013 and roughly 1.3 million in 2014″:

The United States is headed for a fiscal collapse regardless of who wins. Don't put a horse in this race. If you aren't willing to risk your life or to kill others, the best thing to do is stock provisions and do your best to stay alive as events unfold.Quote:

Simple answer: you shouldn't vote for either of them...Quote:

New Data Show Obama Net Positive For Job Creation Since He Took OfficeQuote:

and offsetting the several 100K malicious layoffs, esp unionized teachers, in Repug states to make the economy as bad as possible for Nov 2012.
Here's the only rational I can think of that fits the criteria:
I think we've entered into an era of politics where all first terms presidents will be fairly unsuccessful as the other party makes it's priority to beat him in the next election. Our only hope is that a 2nd term president can get things done with that political monkey off the backs of our legislature.
"Our only hope is that a 2nd term president can get things done with that political monkey off the backs of our legislature."
If Barry doesn't win the House and get a solid 60 in the Senate, he won't get anything done 2nd term. The Repugs will continue to block in committee or filibuster everything.
I am voting for the candidate that will take the least amount of money from me. I believe that is Romney. Neither candidate has decided to truly tackle the deficit. This is why they propose plans that will reduce the deficit over 10-20 years as opposed to reducing it next year. I believe that our government is essentially dumping a 50,000+ price tag to the back of each of my children. If I can leave my kids a healthy inheritance, then I am doing everything I can do to make a change in their lives.Quote:

1. A very successful record at Bain Capital making a great deal of money for his investors. People like to focus on the stories of failure and discount the fact that Bain Capital was regarded as one of the best private equity firms while Romney was running it.
2. I participated as a volunteer in the 2002 Winter Games in SLC and saw that Romney did an excellent job. Obviously there were many people that made the games a success but Romney did an excellent job and that was not really debated at the time. When you consider the corruption that had taken place leading up to his appointment, it is remarkable what he did to lead those games.
3. I liked his health care bill in Massachusetts. While I believe that it is unconstitutional at the federal level, it shows that Romney listened to his voters and passed a bill that the people of Massachusetts wanted.
4. He was able to work with a state legislature that was full of democrats. I would imagine he would bring a more moderate attitude to the White House.
These are a few of the things I like. He certainly has plenty of faults. I, like everyone else would like more specifics, but neither politician really gives specifics. I could not bring myself to vote for McCain last election. I can’t bring myself to sit out this one. I don’t think that Obama has been a good president I think that Romney has the potential to be a great president. I won’t hold my breath though.
One last thing, regardless who wins, I really don’t think much is going to change. To me, Washington has become a place where people run because they feel that they are entitled to the positions. Gone are the days when the citizen calls on the candidates to run, they run, win and then move on to the next phase of their lives. People like Washington, Jefferson, Adams, Jackson, Madison, Truman these were great presidents, statesmen who served their time and then moved on. We don’t see this type of politician anymore. Sad really.
First term presidents??? No its red state bubba UCA backed REPUGS who blocked halo-crowned Obama from getting anything done.Quote:
