NO SECOND GUESSING HERE. OBAMA HAS DESTROYED MY BUSINESS THAT I BUILT. VOTE FOR ROMNEY RYAN OR BE DAMNED!!
MUST WIN FOR R. R AND HELP RAIL ROAD THIS FOOL OUT OF THE WHITE HOUSE, OR STARVE ON GOVERMENT FOOD STAMPS !!!
when i get rich i think i,ll become a republican. when i hit the mega lottery i might run for presedent. no ithink i,ll just keep farming untill its all gone
If you get a chance to watch the movie 2016, it will help you understand our President. Our republic will not survive another 4 years of him. Vote for Romney/Ryan while there is still time.
We need to know more about how life is with Share-cropping in Russia.
I really wish I could vote for none of the above. Tjhey all scare me for different reasons. Congress has been totally inept for the past two years at least. If we performed that poorly we would be out of business. Talk about a problem, how can they be elected , serve only one term then be entitled to full pay and all their benefits for life. This is the number one entitlement program I would like to see eliminated. They do better than the armed forces who earn their little retirement by serving 20+ years and some of it in harms way.
The statement about serving one term and being entitled to full pay and benefits for life is not true. Just an fyi from a spouse of a member of Congress.
If they can't get a job done in four years, fire them and get someone who can do the job....
I am also voting for Rommey Ryan but think there are too many people on the dole and ofcourse the libs and all the bias in the media will all favor the election Obama.
I am afraid Obama will be reelected but pray he will not. I am for Romney all the way. We need hope and change for real this time.
I pray Rommeny wins. We need to incourage the rich to invest in America, because thay are who give us good jobs. This would do more for the ecomony than any goverment program. Goverment needs to get out of the way.
Romney/Ryan is my hope to keep America from going the way of Socialist Europe. If Obama gets reelected all those that wish for more government are going to get their wish granted. Presently, about 50% of our population receive "entitlements" while the other 50% pay for them, those that pay are getting fewer each year. Do the math. Liberal elitist want to enslave the masses.
Why do we want to rely on an inefficient, overspending, over-regulating government? We need the bureaucrats to get out of our way, so America can be self sufficient and self reliant. Why do we always look to the government to HELP us? The more we rely on the government the more they have control over our lives. I believe I have a better idea on what is best for me!
Will the self-starters or the people with their hands out win? I hope the self-starters!
It is time the American people started thinking for themselves,instead of letting the media do the thinking for them. Just beacuse the news anchor said so doesn't make it so. I truly belive Obama is trying to tear America down. I pray that Romney is elected.
Everyone should know that Romney's Bain Capital received a federal bailout during the crash. As for Ryan's plan to turn Medicare into a voucher program is ridiculous. He was accepting Medicare checks when his father passed away. Both are hypocritical liars.They will destroy the middle class and the middle class is what keeps this country going. Everyone should also remember that unions gave workers the 40 hr work week, paid vacation, holidays, etc. If it were not for unions your boss could tell you to work 100 hours this week or you are fired and you as an employee could do nothing about it. As for job creation, just look around. More people are being employed everyday. Romney and Ryan would also make it harder for kids to attend college. They would cut Pell grants and college would only be affordable by the wealthy because the wealthy won't be taxed. We should be valuing our education system. Republicans are always complaining about how our nation is always falling behind other nations in terms of education and yet they are making it harder to get a good education. It takes years to come out of a recession and a war. It is not a four year process. Our economy is getting better everyday.
This person is likely a paid DNC blogger.
'Unions and big and bigger government'. That's the ticket! That's what has made America great! Right. I'll bet your public education math skills have always stunk. As long as government controls a printing press, we'll have money, and la, la, la, everything will be fine. Weimar republic, Zimbabwe, here we come. That will be the part of "unsustainable" that you haven't yet grasped.
Wake up....communism sounds good to those who want someone else to pay their way....what happens when everyone gives up and says...let the government pay my way......
Capitalism only works for workers not those on the dole.
It is obvious you cannot stand up for yourself. You need a union and the promise that education will keep you from being in a certain class. Get to work!
Obama has the worst job recovery since Jimmy Carter. The guy has never had a job and neither has most of his cabinet.Can you folks not see the direction we are going. Obama has an agenda and its not for a better America. We need Romney/Ryan.
Look at Romney's record as governor of Masschusetts. We don't need more deficit, and higher taxes on the middle class and the poor. Tax the wealthy. they have the ability to pay.
I'm saving a flyer abouts a ranch for sale down in South America if Obama wins.
I hope for Romeny/Ryan, but I really fear Obama. America must answer for the oversea jobs. It was not Romeny/Bain; it was corporate America looking for low wages for labor. Compare American workers' wages with Asian, Chinese or Indian, and with South America. I am not saying unions have priced us out of jobs, but we will not work for what they pay these people. The Great Recession shows us that contracted labor just gets more expensive. Higher wages/higher prices. We need to get competitive by increasing productivity and tying that to labor costs. No one can really compete with us when we really get down to it. I think Romney will confront foreign countries that regulate us out of the market. If they really want free trade, open their markets to our products. Romney is businessman enough to see that.
I won't mind making the wage that they make in China...as long as a house costs us $5,000. as it does in China.
Obama has turned back the clock for my wife and me and throw in two back to back worst droughts I have ever seen combined to set us back to being as bad or worse off than when married and started on our own more than 30 years!!!!!!
My hope is that people will wake up and realize that Obama's radical change for America is to put America on the same level with the third world countries. Someone in an earlier comment said read the Bible that we are to take care of the poor ect. The Bible also does not say it is okay to kill babies. We need leaders who will put our country back to what our founding fathers intended, and that is not to turn our backs on God.
Why do some people want smaller government, less regulations and lower taxes? Who will take over the job of helping during disasters, building and maintaining roads, assisting the poor, and providing for the welfare for its citizens? The Bible should be read to see who! Is it being followed by both parties?
there is no hope if Obama is re-elected
Last time we got what we deserved. let us hope that this time we get what we need instead!
For those of you who think Romney is the bad guy because of Bain. Maybe you should do your research and see just how many institutions, unions, congressmen/women, Presidents/VP's,and schools at all levels are invested in Bain and have gained. Thank GOD that some people have the knowledge to invest and help save this country. Dignity, Honesty, Pride, Knowledge, and Honor have left the White House. It is time we got it back!!
Change is coming in America(whether we like it or not).....we are growing darker in complexion......and, you don't put the "genie" back in the bottle, easily. Ideas will slowly change......if we have tougher times, then, then they will come faster. Obama wins....
ObaM
It's a shame people can be so blinded by false rhetoric as to form an opinion on a candidate without looking into that persons history or stance on that particular issue. America better pay attention this election and put a person who does not have socialist views into office. You might check out the movie 2016 Obama's Dream for America. It will scare you.
God help us if Rommney and Ryan don't win
All i wanna know is why did we not get our farm billed signed yet??????? Both sides of
the senate are to be blamed!!!! Congress compromised the senate.... Well shame shame!!!!
Because..Mr. O has "set up" congress with numerous ridiculous proposals that neither side can possibly vote for. That's part of his overall plan to convince the public opinion to allow getting sucked into a ONE-PARTY system.
Let us hope reason will win
Whether your for Obama or Romney, remember a president cannot pass laws that affect Medicare, Social Security, etc...Without Congress helping! If we want a real change in this country we need to elect a congress with some guts to do the right thing!
Anyone who can't see Obama losing, must be watching network T.V. The energized voters for Obama in 2008, are mostly gone in 2012. There are many who voted for him then, who are simply being quiet now, but a substantial number will vote Romney, and another substantial number won't feel they can vote for Romney, but just won't vote.
And anyone who thinks Ryan is "radical", is not actually listening to him, but to his detractors. The "major consideration for seniors" should be this country going broke and the fact there is no way Medicare or Social Security are sustainable without significant overhaul.
Think FDR in 1936 and Goldwater in 1964.

Let us all say a little prayer that Romney wins or I fear its the end of the republic as we know it! For the first time in my life I actually made a political contribution and I've voted in 12 prior presidential elections-sometimes for the republican and sometimes for the democrat. God help us all if Obama wins and doesn't have to worry about re-election!!!
Romney and Ryan are not perfect but maybe they will turn this train around before we have a complete total disaster. We did not get in this mess in just one administrative change and it will take just as long to get us going back in the right direction. I pray for the well being of our grandchildren.
We'd better hope it is Romney-Ryan. Balance the budget, lower taxes and regulations, fully utilize our own energy resources......and maybe then there is hope.
Democrats haven't delivered on their campaign promises 08 and economic improvements. We don't believe we should give them another 4 yrs.
just not sure right now
God help us, but I think Obama is going to be re-elected.
I agree. Think Roosevelt in 1936 and Goldwater in 1964.

God is on the side of someone who looks out for the poor and weak, that is Obama.
I think God sits in heaven and watches US politics as his version of Comedy Central! As for the poor and weak, it isn't the President who helps them, it is each of us reaching into our communities and helping our neighbors, not a bloated, bureaucratic government that does the real good.
God is not on the side of those who choose to end the lives of millions of innocent unborn children.
