So you like the Ryan plan?

I like that he's not afraid to do what's right, even if unpopular. Probably still needs some tweaks. What other plans have been put forth?
I haven't seen many economists say that Ryan's plan is worth a damn. I'm not sure what you mean by right.
What have economists said about Obama's plan?
All these people who say they'll vote differently if it's close is yet another reason to kill the awful electoral college
I will either vote for GOP nominee Ron Paul, or write in Ron Paul, tbh.... Ron bless

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the electoral college, tbh.... this nation is a democratic republic, not a mob rule democracy... by having the 50 states' electors elect the president, every single state has a voice in who wins... going only on popular vote would make pretty much every state besides New York, California, and Texas completely irrelevant to the political process and would intensify pandering....
The REAL issue with the voting process are the dumbass sheeple voters who don't do their research, fall for lame cable news spin and picky semantics arguments, and give their votes to establishment candidates who won't significantly change anything under the delusional assumption that they will, tbh..... the second biggest issue is the large number of ing selfish, out-of-touch Baby Boomers, who voted their way into unsustainable en lements and now will vote for anyone who will keep the gravy train going, and to with the financial future for the rest of us....
Probably poor things as well. I don't see how that makes Ryan's plan any better.
There's really no good reason that a person in vermont or iowa should have more pull than a person in Texas or California. The Electoral College is ridiculous and completely unequal. If it was gone each person's vote would matter the same. The electoral college is what intensifies the pandering. Not sure how you can argue the opposite.
Yes, unless you vote for one of the top two parties.
I don't understand why people want to continue the two party hegemony. vote third party, try to get them to 5% so that they have a small chance to start making a dent in national politics. Cucking and nono should get it together and vote third party.
/soapbox
I'm probably gonna be lazy and not vote at all. Don't care enough to show up and wait in line and .
You make some good points, imo, but Manny pretty much gave you a good reply that reflects how I feel
we need more smart people to vote, not less
Apathy is going to end up killing this great nation
do I want to own every detail of the plan he negotiated?
No
Do I respect the fact that he recognizes that there really is a problem and he hung his ass out there with a real plan to reduce the deficit?
Yes.
Keep voting for pla udes. YES WE CAN!!!!!!!...![]()
This is also how I feel... Lets kill the electoral college and topple the two party system
I can think of few things that would do this country more good (at least politically)
This. They're all crooks and need to go. I'd take it a step further and say we start prosecuting some of these assholes and bringing them to justice to set an example.
What don't you like about Ryan's plan?
Why does the Ryan plan play so much of a factor with your decision? We aren't voting on the Ryan plan, and we really aren't voting on the Romney plan or the Obama plan (neither of them have one).
I'm not all that crazy about continuing to try to be the worlds policeman and keeping to fund the military at 100% while cutting back elsewhere. (if I interpret it correctly) someone please correct me if I am wrong.
probably because there're too many minor groups that could possibly become a third party besides democrats and republicans, and people cannot tacitly cast their votes to the same unknown party and make it a 3rd power instantly imho
Here's a simple question since this is my first election in this country:
If you register, you don't have an obligation to go cast a vote on election date, correct?
Registering by mail looks easy enough. I'm just not sure if I'm gonna lazy out on election date. Not a lot of enthusiasm here, tbh...
