Mitt Romney voters: Why are you voting for him?
 

Just a quick question : If you are planning to vote for Mitt Romney, why?

If possible please don't just say to "get obama out". Do you actually have a legitimate reason to vote for him? Did he say something you liked? A plan you appreciate?

Canadians like me want to know.

[Hope no one posts here]

I ask any Republican I know that same question, and they always have some answer like "the middle class is supported by big business, and Mitt Romney is a businessman" or something retarded like that.

What they really mean to say is "he's white".

I think we need 4 year term limits. This is my opportunity to inflict that on whoever is in office.

I doubt that's going to be a very big motivator for most Americans here to provide an answer.

"Oh, CANADIANS want to know? Well why didn't you say so? Here's my nine paragraph long-winded answer..."


:D


I'm thinking that there's a strong possibility that many, not all but many, are going to vote for Romney for no other reason than they always vote republican no matter who's running. No different than card carrying democrats do I would imagine.

That guy ROMNEY looks like the classic Hollywood Movie's PRESIDENT...

I mean he looks like the classic ACTOR that portrays a president.

I'm sure many are voting because he looks like a Hollywood Movie President..

Right?

it's probably all the issue's he's addressed with solid plans of action, why else would you vote for a candidate ? what do you think people are .... stupid ? ahahaha

Oh and Late night comedians don't make fun of Obama like they do republicans and I really enjoy the satire comedy.
So call me selfish.

Mitt is a jackass--- he doesn't give 2 shits about people like me (uninsurable due to past or present health problems). At least Obama wants to make sure people have access to affordable insurance. (Yes, due to my medical situation, I'm a little bias, but I still believe the closer we get to having universal healthcare the better).

But "being a businessman" is not what makes a good president - now more than ever. Big business - namely the banks the mortgage companies - is what got us into trouble in the first place. Romney looks successful because he is a multi millionaire, but that money was made buy borrowing other people's money, buying companies, and fucking everyone who worked for him in the ass. Hard.

It's just like Trump. Trump makes a lot of money. But the truth is he borrows money to build something, manages it for a while, and then walks away as it becomes an utter fail. Trump makes money by fucking everyone else.

Are we better off now than we were four years ago? Of course we are. That's not saying anything good about Obama; My pet dog could have done just as well. Romney is just pointing out what's bad and claiming he can fix it when the truth is he can't. He couldn't fix jack shit in Massachusetts, which ended up worse after he was governor.

I've actually considered moving to Canada (for good) to get your healthcare.

:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown:bowdown I couldn't have worded that better myself!

Because Americans are gluttons for punishment.

get obama out

The current President and the other guy running for President, are both pieces of shit.

Doesn't really answer my question...

What he said!

Same bullshit every 4 years, the sheep get the illusion of having a choice....

Say it with NAMES... OBAMA and ROMNEY... dont be a coward, dude. FBI is not going to knock at your door in VEGAS.

Man, do you still have that FIREFIGHTER Water Source in sidewalk?

Their reasons seem to be one or all of the following:

- Ban abortion.
- Support Israel.
- Bomb Iran.
- Deport Mexicans.
- Repeal Obamacare.
- Drill for more oil.
- Keep tax cuts for the wealthy.
- Ban gay marriage.
- End environmental protections entirely.
- Deregulate everything possible.
- Get the false Christian (and Kenyan) out of the White House.

Mitt is also against abortion in the case of rape or even incest... meaning if a 13 year old child was molested by her father and became pregnant, by law he would want to force her to carry to term. Disgusting.

Free houses for white people!

The FBI, the IRS, the ATF, and the LVMPD Firearm's Division, Hit & Run department, and even their homicide detectives and the Clark County District Attorney are all well aware of who I am, and where I live. How else could they leave their business cards on my door?

I dont think the fire department knows who I am though.

No the Republicans in the 90's did to counter HillaryCare. Than they decided to try an experiment in Mass with RomneyCare to prove it could work. Than Obama became president and pushed and passed RomneyCare 2.0.

Now the democrats that were yelling that it was a bad plan in 90s and the republicans that were yelling it is a good plan from the 90s until 2008 swapped sides and scammed the American people.

He now calls it the worst idea he ever had.

How does jobs, prosperity and getting people back to work sound to ya? How about stopping run away spending before the country goes bankrupt. Or maybe I (and most Americans) don't want socialized medicine. Maybe I don't like my president bowing to leader of every 3rd world country and apologizing America's greatness. Maybe I want a president that encourages working hard and trying to become successful instead of trying to turn the country into a welfare state where everyone is equal "poor".

All good points. The left never seems to be able to comment on these facts. It's more convenient to let the thread slip away to page 2...

I know I will regret making this post to the board troll...but it's fairly clear that Obama hasn't been the solution to anything economy related.

sidebar - If I paste 14 orglaughs,does that make it a more credible statement?

He said he wants to return to biblical principals, which says I can own slaves as long as they are from a neighboring country, so I'm getting me some Canadians!

Mexicans would work much harder and not sit around telling you how great they are all day long.

yeah but they suck at programming...:winkwink:

Prime Minister Harper called and said you should be paying closer attention to Canadian politics and not worry about the US.

I'm voting for Mitt cuz the rich don't have enough, and I want to pay higher taxes so he and his friends can eke out a living.

I also hate libraries, state parks, art, clean air, middle class jobs, education, reproductive rights, and marriage equality.

The middle class is uppity, and I'm tired of it.

What have the Republicans in Congress done to create jobs and improve the economy?

Not a fucking thing. :mad:

FTFY! :thumbsup

They make some bad ass mole.

There IS a choice! Saying they're all the same is the lazy answer! They are NOT the same.

One believes in tax breaks for the middle class - the other for tax breaks for billionaires. One believes in strengthening public education - the other for vouchers. One believes in medicare/medicaid - the other for vouchers. One believes women have reproductive freedom, the other thinks they should have to deliver their rapist's baby.

Stop that "They're all the same" bullshit. That's just an excuse to not pay attention and beat off!

Fucking vote for the better option - and then follow up! Voting is where it starts - not where it ends. Contact your representatives - they DO listen if enough constituents are heard from. Contact the White House. When the President does something you like - tell him! When he doesn't - tell him! Write a letter to the editor once in a while.

It takes a bit of effort - but freedom isn't free! :angrysoap

And what is Mitt's plan to do this again? THERE IS NO PLAN.

What do you think should be cut? Give us some examples beyond welfare. And how are you going to balance the budget without going back to Clinton era taxation of the upper tax brackets?

The US spends the most on medical care, yet has one of the most unhealthy populations of the developed world. Obviously something is terribly wrong. Every country above us uses socialized medicine. You can either say WE ARE THE BIG BAD USA and do things our own way (while everyone is unhealthy) or you can join a system proven to work better.

What this is really about are the upper classes getting worried that the lower classes may receive treatment before they do. Their ultimate horror would be a 65yo retiree having to wait 2 months for a knee replacement surgery because people like a 21yo accident victim were moved to the top of the list.

America's support of Israel was the motive for 9/11. A very humble Obama making the rounds has probably been more responsible for preventing another terror attack than anything the military or CIA has done these past 4 years.

Then we see Mitt do his European tour and make a total fool of himself in the name of appeasing right wingers back home (such as you) that don't see any problems coming from America flexing our muscles and doing whatever the fuck we want to the world.

If Mitt wins and starts in with his aggressive pro-Israel and anti-Arab talk, I wouldn't be surprised if there was another terrorist attack in the US.

IT'S OK TO BE BIASED!!!! You think the FUCKING Rethuglicans aren't "biased"?

You're smart! You're voting in your own best interest! That's what the million/billionaires do - why shouldn't YOU???

OF COURSE you want health coverage! Who the fuck wouldn't?!?

One candidate is addressing your needs - and the other isn't. Vote in your own best interest. If everyone did that, boy would the GOP be FUCKED!

See, they've managed to get the mentally challenged to vote against their own best interests. They have convinced millions of people that if we just give the "haves" even MORE, and cut just a few MORE regulations, then finally, after 30 years, the wealth will "trickle down". They have convinced so many dingbats that lower taxes on the rich and on corporations is the answer - while the middle class shrinks every day, and people are working 50, 60, 70 hours a week just to keep up.

I'm so glad you see the benefits to you in the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare). There is so much misinformation out there about it - much of it intentionally propagated by Republicans. You can find answers here: http://www.newhealthcarelaw.com/

They might differ on petty things like abortion, tax percentages etc, but when it comes to the big picture they both represent the status quo and have the same corporate masters.

They will both continue to feed the military industrial complex, they will both continue to let the unconstitutional Federal Reserve destroy our currency and economy, they will both continue to strip away more of our rights under the guise of national security, they will both continue to.... ah what's the point... you people will never fucking understand....

Obama has already done this, and is continuing to do so. The Bush Tax cuts caused this problem and corporate tax loopholes made it worse, it is just what Romney wants to continue with. [/quote].

Obamacare is an option for Americans, not a rule. And even if it was, there is nothing at all wrong with it. Here in Canada we have medicare. Doctors and Hospital visits are free, and drugs are subsidized. In the UK, everything is free. In Cuba, the same thing. What happens if your kid gets into an accident and you don't have insurance?

This is a myth. Obama has never apologized to anyone nor has he bowed to any leader. This is a lie put to you from Romney and the GOP.

Obama is encouraging everyone to work. The bailout kept the car companies going and people working. Obama stopped predatory lending to students and kept interest rates for student loans low to encourage students to go further in school, to get better paying jobs. Etc, etc, etc etc etc. All Mitt could tell studens was "shop around" and "borrow money from your parents".

Lol! What a dink he is. He's a Mormon, or will he flip-flop etch-a-sketch on this too one day?

From the Photo --- It looks like Mitt is helping someone keep a job and pay his bills. Obama is saying hey the welfare check is in the mail! HA
Just like numbers, people see different stuff

The big problem with Romney is that we really don't know what he believes in or wants.

He says he is pro-life, anti-Obamacare, etc, but not too long ago he created Romneycare and was pro-choice. He was also pro-gay rights and now he isn't.

Tonight on CNN they were talking about the republican convention and one of the commentators had a very good statement when he said that Romney doesn't appear to be running for president because he has some strong calling and belief system that drives him, but because he wants to be president and like he did in business he will take up the beliefs and carry out the actions that put him in a position to become president.

I have a feeling if he won he would, in a way, pull an Obama. Everyone thought Obama was this hyper-liberal, but he has actually turned out to be more of a moderate. I have a feeling Romney, once elected, would likely be a lot more moderate than he lets on now.

But then again, we don't know because he is kind of like animatronic Lincoln in Disneyland and he just says what he is programmed to say.
