I am kind of surprised by the polls. Seems like there are many vocal republicans on VGC.

My number once choice would be Jill Stein. I think she would be best for the country, with Obama second. She seems to stand for science, reason, fairness, etc.

Romney might be best for me in some ways (I own some business) but at the cost of people that have jobs and those that work for a living. And since they are my consumers I think I would lose in the long run and he would further damage the country and it's reputation. (Plus I think he is a major fail on basic civil rights, etc.)

I know my libertarian leaning friends love Johnson, but he seems think business and deregulation will solve everything and I just wonder where he has been living the last several years. Maybe there is something in him I don't see.

Here is a fun poll for anyone interested

Reality...

deregulation won't solve everything, but it would solve a lot.

You just need to look at the economy and understand why a lot of stuff isn't working. 

For example, most job growth in companies come after a company goes public with an IPO.

However, almost no companies go public anymore.

Most people founding companies don't want to go public anymore.

Why?  Excessive regulation after the Dot.com bubble.

Now everyone instead wants to create an awesome product, and sell it to some microsoft or sony or whoever to replace whatever product they alerady have, leading to no job gains.


We've actually had a jobs growth problem long before the GFC... starting after the dot.com crash.
