    Before you answer, if you like to lose or are a loser, go ahead, vote for Gary Johnson (i.e. make my day). I like Gary. I wish the times were different.

    Are you telling me that because your candidate's lost the act of voting with your heart is worthless? That is a very soulless approach to a process that only works if people are genuine and faithful. It is not the outcome that defines you, but the effort. I would rather vote for a good man who loses than a bad man because he's the front runner, because it is not Mitt Romney who defines me but myself.

    You don't understand me, and it seems that you no longer understand yourself. I've picked one winning candidate and I feel worse about that one vote than all the times I've lost picking the one who should be president.

    No offense, but your calling me a loser means nothing to me. Your opinion is worthless. You will not judge me on the day I expire from this world. My integrity and honor are more important than the opinion of a capricious stranger.

    Yeah, I mentioned them, because I believe that the leftist people should vote them and not Democrats. Because they are closer to what should be a leftist party than Democrat that is center-right.

    I believe that from both sides of the spectrum should vote alternative parties.

    It ain't necessarily so Colorado!
    I.E. I'm a lib, a socialist hawk even. I see Obama as pretty much a centrist republican myself.
    But if I was into the whole "Hold your nose and pull the lever/Lesser of two evils" thing I wouldn't be pulling for Rmoney.

    I'm so far out to the left that I appear to have met the Libertarians around back.
    So in my case a vote for GJ is a vote away from Obama and among those I talk to, I'm not the only one.

    Sorry but this, I don't want to insult but why do you think that Romney, the guy who made the system Obamacare is based off of, will actually do anything to affect Obamacare in a way that takes it down? Also, why would you want a government service to be even less effective? I mean I don't like Obamacare either, but if we're going to be forced into it I'd rather it work than not (not that it will, but that's another story). I mean, how you can pick this issue, knowing full well there will be little to no change, is just astonishing. Maybe I'm wrong, maybe Romney will do something other than a few token changes, but I doubt it. The last 12 years may as well have been ran by the same guy and I don't see the next 4 being any different. I'm voting for someone I believe in, not Al Bob or Bob Al.

    Romney will at least have to pretend not to be a statist. I don't think he'll grab guns. I do think Obama will.

    That pretty much settles it for me. I'm tired of Obama's face. He needs to go down as a 1 term failure, a myth. Just like GWB should have.

    How will Obama grab guns? He will barely hang on to the presidency and end up with a Congress unwilling to do (*)(*)(*)(*) for him.

    You think Romney is going to overturn Obamneycare? I find that extremely unlikely. The only way he might overturn it is if Congress sends him a bill to that effect. He's not going to grant the states any waivers any more than Obama is going to stop the DOJ from prosecuting medical marijuana dispensaries.

    Totally unrealistic. I'm pretty sure the GOP is going to claim a majority in the Senate, or at the very LEAST be dead even with the Democrats. They will definitely hold on to the House. So even if Obama gets a second term, what the hell is he going to do?

    He's going to be forced to either do NOTHING but capitulate to the GOP, or further tarnish his image in the history books. And imo, he's not stupid enough to pick the latter.
