As America approaches this crossroads in history the choice between candidates could not be clearer. We have polar opposites from which to choose and for whom to spend our vote. We have a choice as to the kind of country we want to live in. For the first time in my voting life I will be casting a vote for the country instead of just a Republican or Democrat candidate.
I don't think most voters have really thought through the possible ramification of which way they vote. There are stark consequences whether we vote for Obama or Romney. It would be one thing if we could believe anything the two candidates say---------but we can't believe them. We know they speak to the groups they know and trust by speaking MOSTLY the truth. We also know, that is candidates on stump speeches, they espouse what they THINK the audience in front of them wants to hear and believe.
Obama is more likely to be more consistent than Romney when it comes to the debate--------he's had more exposure, and more experience, at being "Presidential." He has been watched, and criticized, analyzed, and every word ripped to shreds for nearly 4 years now----------that makes him well-known. Romney is a horse of a different color-------NOBODY knows who he is, except that, he contradicts himself and delivers gaffs with great certainty.
I'm calling Obama the winner in the debates and in the race for POTUS.
Gee, Carol, when he ran against Bush, umm, Palin, no, wait, McCain! When he ran against McCain four years ago, he was running against Bush and the record of that administration. He had no record of his own, except for things like a lot of 'present' votes. So now, four years later, he's running against returning to the policies that "got us into this mess in the first place." He's still running against Bush? And sure, let's ignore his record, which he now does have, and I can understand the strategy, yes? Just pick a few cherries and talk about them, at most. On to the debates, so voters can make their decision on what really matters: the ability to glibly deliver a SECOND wagonload of fertilizer. A sad price of democracy will be paid if he gets re-elected: those of us who won't vote for him will have to suffer the same fate as those of you who do vote for him deserve, four more years of the fool.

He will win again. I look forward to the debates. I watched both conventions and the Dems were more convincing by far. For some reason the Repubs are just not getting the message of the people. They want to run on what they have always run on, and they give no regard to what the voters want.
DeleteRepub candidates for POTUS AND VPOTUS are scripted so strictly that they leave no room for the voters, or even highly influential members of their own party, to protest the wrong-headed direction the candidates espouse. Romney says he's doing just fine doing what he is doing and saying what he is saying, even now that he has alienated his own party.
He will not listen to anyone-----not the voters, not his party, not his advisors--------NOBODY.
Does this portend a bi-partisan era under his presidency? I think not.
Carol,
ReplyDeleteYou have been calling Obama a winner since 2010. Get a life and wake up. I can't wait till O is re-elected and:
1. Further bankrupts the nation forcing higher inflation. Complain why you have no savings.
2. Obama kills or reduces your Social Security.
3. Puts you under Medicaid when Medicare is bankrupted by removing 700 billion and transferring it to Obamacare.
You can always blame bush.
Shill.

DeleteIouman, your three points are enough to sink any candidate except for one little detail, they are all lies.
