America may lose the chance
Barrack Obama was probably America's last chance to pull itself into the twenty first century. If he is not re-elected for a second term they will have blown that chance.
What? Why should anyone vote for Obama, he's done nothing that great. The nation is still in financial ruin, he's set precedent for US citizens to be targeted and killed by the president (he did so himself), he legitimized Gitmo, I could keep going. The biggest problem is that the majority of people who don't vote for Obama will vote for Romney. Neither is a good option, both will lead to the continued destruction of our nation.Originally Posted by Socialism Works
Those who support the erosion of our rights and freedom, concepts people through out history have wanted, fought for, and died for, are likely the biggest fools humanity has ever known.

Assuming that anyone has a genuine choice, what makes anyone sure that the election won't be rigged like Bush's was?
In reality it is all just a show. Somebody else controls the President, Congress & the Courts. We are just a bunch of sea gulls flocking around the bait.

What specifically do you want the country pulled toward? I could speculate based on your screen name, but I don't think that's fair. I'd rather hear what you have to say.
It is impossible to be both selfless and pro-abortion. The latter negates the former. It doesn't matter how much money you want to redistribute to the poor. Killing your own child for convenience is the ultimate act of selfishness.
An oppressive, totalitarian, anti-gun, anti-free speech, pro-life communist still understands the value of human life better than a "pro-choice" libertarian.

The way I see it, we have a choice; Obama or Romney; Romney does nothing for me at all. He's the master of Hyperbole and reptile who changes his skin depending on the way the wind is blowing. Romney's track record with labor in this country is horrific; oh he'll try to create jobs. Most of the would be minimum wage non-union jobs and people would still be living in poverty even though they work a 40+ hour week.
No thanks; i'll keep Obama for another 4 years. At least I know what I'm dealing with.

218 REASONS WHY YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE VOTED OBAMA
We all know Obama was a failure, but you will know why the country founders if he's re-elected.
"One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back." - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark

Well I hate to tell you but this is going to happen no matter who is President. Even if democrats completely controlled congress with a super majority and enacted every possible policy that Democrats could ever want.. this is still going to happen.
It's going to happen becuase technology and globalization are happening and cannot be stopped. Ever. You might as well be asking for 1 trillion dollars to be poured into building a machine that controls the tides so that childrens sand castles will no longer be wiped out.
Also, who the (*)(*)(*)(*) ever said that merely working 40 hours should be a guarantee of middle class prosperity? That is a complete joke. Some jobs are worth more than others.

I disagree ... I know for sure I'm not going Backwards, and I know for sure there are plenty who think like I do ... and thus will Vote appropriately for forwards thinking individuals in political campaigns.

Whatever. You are the ultimate economic regressives. You are trying to recycle old ideas back into the 21st century where they no longer apply.
We "Conservatives"(Economic progressives) are looking forward. Only we're looking forward 20-30 years at the crippling debt we'll be inflicting on our children. You regressives are only thinking forward to your next meal ticket on the gravy train.
