Romney/Ryan?

Mitt Romney was the bishop of my mormon church in Cambridge, and I knew him well as a child, and liked him immensely. I knew him to be a good man personally. And yes, mormonism is a whacked out religion.... but that is beside my point. My point is this: I dont understand why any woman would want to elect Romney/Ryan. I am gravely disapointed with his choice of running mate. It would set back woman's rights decades to elect this team. I am also at a loss why anyone out there in America, making less than $200,000 a year would vote for this republican ticket .... This team is not looking out for the middleclass. They are not even attempting trickle down economics ... the new tax policy that Romney and Ryan want to implement is more of a trickleup process. Take money from the middleclass through tax increases (there will be at least a $2,000 increase on middle class families under the Romney/Ryan team for the middle class- if you dont think so, read up on it), they will eliminate programs for the poor, and they will give it all to the very rich- because after all, the rich are the ones who are paying for the Romney/Ryan team to be elected. Reverse Robinhood. How can anyone fall for this???? I am not naive enough to think the dems are being 100% honest either, they have their own fantasies that need to be addressed, (simply tax the top 1 to 2% more and presto, that will make social security and medicare solvent, PLEASE!) however as far as the two parties are behaving currently, the republican deceit runs much, much deeper, and I am disgusted. WAKE UP AMERICANS! YOU ARE BEING DUPED!

I agree with you. The Democrats are not perfect, but at least they're the lesser of the two 'evils', for lack of a better way to put it. I believe the fundamental flaw in American democracy- the two-party rotating dictatorship - means that Americans really do not have much of a choice here, and that is sad.

Romney is anti marijuana too, a guy in a wheelchair on youtube told Romney he wasnt able to use conventional medicine and if Romney would arrest him and his doctor...Romney stated he doesnt support marijuana laws and they guy in the chair should just use synthetic THC in a pill, and Romney just walked off as to dodge any further debate on the subject.

Romney. Not because he is a superman but because failure does not get a second go at more of it.

I do not totally agree with either of them but I will be voting for Obama again. The Romney/Ryan platform on reproductive rights is a deal breaker. There's several others, many listed in this blog already.

Hmmm, I think it's crazy that the public dialogue and real rational debate is being taken over by 30 second TV clips. It's the grand Orwellian nightmare at the best. I do agree with Ryan on one thing. It's time to pay the pied piper. Clinton had essentially eliminated the deficit during the economic good times of the 90s. Bush essentially pushed the US into a deep deficit, with unreasonable tax cuts. The aversion to tax doesn't make sense, if it reduces your ability to tackle it later. It's simple, pay your bills now ... before the ability to change becomes next to impossible.

Yes, it means cuts in services. But it also means increasing taxes.

I think a simple dose of reality goes a long way.

Seb: It was never a democracy; it's an oligarchy, where the few control the masses. And the medium is now the message, so to speak. But if that was true, Gore should have had the White House in 2000?
