gergroy said: I have been undecided mostly because i dislike all the choices. However, I have decided I am going to be one of those people that votes against somebody instead of for them. So i have decided to vote for Mitt Romney. My reasons mostly stem from the early portion of Obamas term when he had a super majority in congress. The economy was in the tank and instead of working on that, he pushed for healthcare that ultimately ends up being a large tax on small businesses. He also didnt bother with bipartisan efforts during this time either. Basically, I dont like how obama handled his term, and im not a fan of Romney, but I think it I would rather see somebody else get a chance then another term of Obama. A little caveat here, I live in Utah so my vote doesnt actually matter. Utah will go for romney by over 70%... |
That's the worst possible excuse to vote for Romney. First you said Obama had the super majority and worked on healthcare instead of the economy. The healthcare plan he has in place, was difficult to complete, even with so many in congress, as the Republicans filibustered almost ALL things Obama and democrats brought to the table, in an effort to make it appear as if Obama did nothing in his term. So the republicans blocked all forward movement in the nation, for ALL people, just for their own political gain come this election time. So they could say, Obama has done nothing. That's not true. He's done alot despite having the complete ROAD BLOCK that is the republican party. Obama has been working very hard to take care of this nations middles class (which represents the vast majority of Americans) and for you to cast your vote for the candidate that only works for the elite top of the country, is not only harming most Americans, but also yourself.
Regardless of where you live, you shouldn't just toss your vote up to Romeny becuase you think he's going to get it anyway. This is the only time you have, once every half a decade, to make your voice heard, and stand up for "the most right" you believe in. Really think about what your reasons are for voting for Romney, not just because "well the things they say about Obama sound true, so they must be."
