OBAMA: Raised in a foreign country although early details of his life are locked down tighter than Ft. Knox, probably a Muslim and lying about it, zero experience in the real world, mentored by a card-carrying Communist, married to a crazy black women who hates America almost as much as he does, most likely a psychopath, everything he touches turns to shit, wishes to see American a 3rd World shit hole.
ROMNEY: Raised in the US, belongs to religion that does NOT burn stuff down when insulted, tremendous positive experience in the real (business) world, a sincerely nice guy, NOT mentored by Communists, NOT surrounded by America hating crazies, married to a classy lady, loves our country and wants it to remain strong and free.
No, Romney isn’t perfect and there is plenty to criticize him for. I will lead the charge if he strays from a conservative/libertarian or otherwise sensible path.
However, when the chips are down, I’ll take the boring white guy with the proven record of turning around troubled enterprises who actually loves his country than 4 more years of the “Messiah” Obama and his reign of Turd Polishing.

HZK – Obama is neither Muslim nor Christian. He is a secularist with the Government rule by a small elitist cabal (including himself of course) as his one and only god. He pretends to be a Christian merely out of necessity to get elected.

Hope, How can mittens stray from a path he’s never been on? His path is corruption, lying, cheating, stealing, manipulating, stealing freedom, heavy hand of government, and more war. Yup, he’s the best choice all right.
Thanks for the Monday morning chuckle.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll: September 17, 2012
New presidential polls were released on Monday, September 17, 2012. Pollster John Zogby conducted a poll and the results were published in Forbes. Zogby International operates the JZ analytics poll which polled 1019 likely voters nationally. The Zogby poll showed a considerable amount of influence from Third parties in the presidential election. According to Zogby President Obama is ahead by 6% points. President Obama has 48% support compared to 42% for Mitt Romney. Zogby claimed that when Third party candidates are included in the poll they take a combined 5% of the vote which is a substantial amount. In key swing states 5% points could be a decisive factor in who wins that state. Zogby stated that Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson and Green Party candidate Dr. Jill Stein both pick up a considerable amount of votes from younger voters. Likewise Constitution party candidate Virgil Goode also gets a portion of the conservative vote. When Third party candidates were included in the poll they actually combined to give President Obama a bigger lead but when they are not included the race was slightly closer. Unfortunately for Third party candidates none of them is likely to reach the 15% that is needed to make it into the national debates.
In the Rasmussen Reports tracking poll Third party candidates are also doing well and do validate the Zogby polls estimation of their support. According to the Rasmussen poll Mitt Romney is in the lead with 47% compared to 45% for President Obama which is a difference of only 2% points and within the margin of error. Third party candidates are at 4% combined which is only 1% less than what Zogby polls reported. Undecided voters were also at 4% in the Rasmussen Reports tracking poll.
Over in the Gallup tracking poll it is President Obama who continues to lead. In the Gallup poll President Obama had a 3% lead over Mitt Romney. President Obama was at 48% compared to 45% for Romney. Another 7% of likely voters were in support of Third party candidates or were still undecided. The combined numbers for Third party candidates and undecided voters was 7% in the Gallup Poll, 8% in the Rasmussen poll, and 10% in the Zogby poll.

@W-Mike: Examples of what you are accusing Mitt of?
Cuz if he was everything you said, the MSM/Fox/Lefties would be screaming that stuff from the rooftops but all they’ve been able to come up with is a fabricated tale about a haircut and a dog in a carrier on a roof.
Again, at the end of the day, I’m going with the guy who seems to have a solid character, a long track record of helping others, and has a track record of fixing broken systems (Olympics, state of MA, Bain).
If you don’t vote, or vote Obama, you are openly advocating for the destruction of America, soon to be followed by global collapse, and I am not in favor of that. I’m not saying that Mitt is gonna fix everything neither, all we are gonna get is a CHANCE to turn things around.

AWD says:
Jeezus, Obama is a socialist. He’s increased the size of the FSA by tens of millions. He’s increased welfare spending by 30% already. If he get’s re-elected, he’ll increase welfare spending by another 30%, to $1.2 trillion per year. Not to mention Obamacare. Not to mention his foreign policy disasters. Taxes are going to the moon, small businesses are shutting down. Jobs are leaving even faster. The corruption, Corzine, Solyndra, Fast and Furious.
He’s increased the deficit by $6 trillion, and will increase it by another $6 trillion, causing government bankruptcy and default. The only people that vote for Obama are people that don’t pay taxes, obviously, but get money from the government, aka the “other” 50%, ie, socialism. Anyone with two neurons to rub together, any sane person will not vote for Obama again, period. But, the FSA is a practical majority now, and will continue to vote for more free shit.

I’ m glad I moved to Puerto Vallarta 2 years ago and can now sit back and laugh at U.S. politics. Do you think either candidate has the power to make any difference, when the beauracracy and other entrenched vested interests really set the agenda?
The only viable solution is set forth in the ebook on Kindle and Smashwords entitled “Taking It Back: A Practical Guide to Breaking the Shacles of the Federal Government Through Secession” by Chance DeWitt. If you really want to know what it’s all about, read one of his other books, “Inside Job: The 9/11 Project” (fiction?)

Mittens: Pro NDAA, wants war in middle east with Syria & Iran, pro Patriot Act. Said all these things during debates. No plan on balancing the budget unless you count the 27 year plan put forth by Mitt Jr.
He & the RNC have countless incidents of overturning legitimate elections, throwing out literally hundreds of delegates, etc. during the primary season. If you are unaware of these things please get your head out of your ass!

1. Obama is KNOWN evil but he has only 4 more years to go.
2. Romney is KNOWN evil as much as Obama but if he doesn’t get defeated he will have a chance at 8 years of KNOWN evil.
3. Four years of known evil is better than 8 years of known evil. (The lesser of two evils, anyone?)
4. Obama, if re-elected, will be opposed by a Republican Congress and (hopefully) by a Republican Senate.
5. Romney, if elected, will do the same as Obama (“replace” Obamacare with Romneycare, for one) but won’t be opposed by a Republican Congress.
6. Opposed evil is better than unopposed evil. (The lesser of two evils, again.)
7. Obama, if re-elected, will be a lesson to the GOP establishment pigs: No more RINOs. The GOP will be defeated but wiser.
8. Romney, if elected, will only show that the GOP establishment is very good at manipulating our vote. The GOP will be victorious but more foolish.
9. A defeated but wiser GOP is better than a victorious but more foolish GOP. (There you go again, the lesser of two evils.)
10. Conclusion: While a true conservative can’t vote for Obama, in case of a Obama/Romney general election, Obama’s re-election is the lesser of two evils

I am still waiting for a specific, concrete and verifiable example of Romney harming another human being, either by omission or commission.
Look, I’m not saying he is a saint, good grief, he’s a politician, for fuck’s sake. Finagling convention rules, allegedly cuz none of that is proven, is part of the process, prob part of the corrupt RNC. If you are looking for a saint, go to church.
Besides, I told you that the fix was in for Mitt way back at the beginning.
Again, tell me why 4 more years of Obama is preferable to 4 years of Romney. So far all I hear is leftie talking points devoid of facts.
