I kind of like Romney as a moderate republican, and would like to know more about some of his economic plans. However, one of the major problems with the party system is that the party would try to run Romney, and I just do not like a lot of the ultra-conservative ideals. I'm also not convinced Romney actually does understand anything at all about people who make under $250k a year. In most cases, I would just take pandering to the wealthy as just that, pandering, but it seems almost everything he does benefits the rich more than anyone else.

Right now, to me, the republican party is where all the crazies live. Religious nutjobs, gun nutjobs, and the incredibly selfish all gravitate there. That makes it very hard to trust any republican candidate. They have all these extremist groups to please.

So, I would probably go with Obama, despite his lackluster performance in the economic area. I don't believe either candidate would do much at all to turn things around, but rather just hope they turn around on their own so they can take credit. The things that need to be done will never be done, not as long as congress is owned by special interest groups.

Also, from what I understand about Romney's medical plan, it would keep people from going to the doctor. Early detection would go bye-bye, which means the ultimate medical tab would skyrocket.

I do not favor an-all-powerful central government at all. The states are so different it would be stupid to give one body so much power. I was more refferring to their foreign policy towards subjugating nations and euthanasia, especially towards the Jews. That sort of thing sticks in my mind more than what you mentioned.

Why isn't a third party an option? The two parties are terrible. The only way you'd support either of the major parties whole-hearted is if you were unable to leave your bias at the door and look at things objectively, outside the bubble.

Lesser of two evils...sheesh.  Either way, leads to more evil.

since you posted after i edited my first post you should have read that i simply forgot it and i can't just add that option

Well, call me crazy, but I would rather see three people die than five.

Though I must say that I would have voted for a third party. I just wrote what I answered in the poll, where these two are the only options.

No 3rd party option? I'm non-American but I would vote Libertarian (Gary Johnson).

Both don't really deserve a vote, they came across as the same thing in that debate. But If i had to choose between only those 2, it would be Obama. Gary Johnson should really be considered as an actual choice 

Government is bad and democrats want more government therefore they want more bad but I want less bad so I vote Republican.

I don't mind Obama getting a second term and be able to really do everything he wanted to achieve politically, not the least in foreign policy, and go down in history as a great man just like the greatest nation on earth, America, deserves, but I would still vote Republican because I am a conservative and I clearly prefer them over Democrats.
