You vote because you can, feel entitled to, feel responsibility to, or have an actual strong preference for party or candidate.

I voted for Obama because I believed in his sincerity.

I think I will do so again because his sincerity hasn't changed, his execution has focused on things he pledged to work on, he has repaired a ton of damage done by Bush Jr. administration, the work isn't completed, and there isn't an adequate challenger party or candidate. I also don't want any part of the current Tea Party vocal rule republican party in office... they are too radical in my view.


I have no idea how to convey this to you without insulting you, but I will try.

Obama's sincerity? A cunning tongue is all it took to fool you into believing in his campaign in '08 and I cannot fault you for that, but he has a record now or saying one thing and not delivering. E.g. Cut the deficit in half, end the war (We still have 68,000 troops over there), improve the economy, and create jobs.

Upon analysis of those listed promises, he has failed to deliver any of them. Job creation is abysmal at 500,000 NET non-farm jobs. Deficit, wellm he actually did the opposite of what he promised. Improved economy? Nope, Unemployment is still 8% and the third round of quantitative easement has been released, not to mention the second credit rating downgrade. 

Stop voting along "sincerity" at this point your focus should be entirely devoted to jobs and the economy which Obama has failed to improve.
