I'm so sick of people focusing on crap like this, instead of really worrying about the issues. The president is pretty well reigned in by congress, and that is where the vast majority of important decisions get made. I know a lot of liberals, and I would say this is just propaganda, because from what I hear, they are not sick of Obama. But the morons claim that Obama is a liar, while planning on voting for Romney despite the fact that he is a notorious liar, with documentation and videos to prove it. He only lied 9 times during the debate, but that isn't important. What is important is to attack Obama right?
This is what will happen if Romney wins. Things will get worse, and all the republicans will blame Obama. But what happens when Obama tries to blame Bush for some of our problems now? The republicans aren't having that. Hypocrites. Obama has done more constructive things, or attempted to, than Bush ever did. So why in the world would we want republicans in office again, because they are just going to run the economy even further into the ground.
Trickle down economics is how the rich get super rich, and the middle class turns into an amalgamation of lower class. THAT is republican ideology. That, and outdated beliefs and ideas. It is no coincidence that the majority of racists, per polls/surveys conducted, have republican leanings. I have also seen it in my own family, and others who I have heard discuss politics. It is sickening.

If this election election was between Obama and Herman cain. I wonder how many Romney supporters would have voted third party. Probably wouldn't have voted at all

You do realize the gap between the Rich and the not Rich is larger under Obama than it has been since the 60's right? Kind of deflates your entire argument. Oh wait, that must be Bush's fault ...

I'll take Obama, understanding the game is rigged by big money. Romney would be a return to the Bush years, more neo-cons, big wars, eroding freedoms. At the debate, Romney was just a well prepared attack dog. Unfortunately, it doesn't really matter, because it's the system that must change, the whole system, global super-capitalism.

I am definitely not a lberal or a supporter of either candidate but the really odd thing is that people believe that things can change overnight (within 4 years) just because some new person is in office. The damage that was inflicted by Bush/Cheney and the entire policies born from 9/11 cut extremely deep into the heart of America and the livelihood of almost every man woman and child except for the very wealthy - those 8 years of Bush were so damaging and deep that there is a great deal of prosperity that is not easily recovered or resuscitated.

"Instinctively the conventional wisdom is if a Republicans does well or better in the polls, the market should rally," says Wall Street Journal special reporter Greg Zuckerman.
The fact that the market hasn't rallied may be because it's focusing instead on what a Romney victory could mean for Fed policy, specifically its near zero rate policy which has helped rally stocks in the past year. That "theory," says Zuckerman, stems from Romney's vow to not reappoint Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke when his term ends January 31, 2014. A Romney win could mean less "funny money" to help pump up the stock market.

I too could post a bunch of pictures that I pulled off of the internet. I lived under Romney when he was "Governor" of Massachusetts for half his term and nearly buried the state. I also lived in the US when it was the GOP's mission to block every single bill that the dems put forward.
I actually hope that Romney gets in with complete Republican control of both the House and Senate. This way we can watch yet another global economic collapse, the collapse of the US, and every "conservative" Republican blame the Democrats.
