I hear this "they both suck" nonsense, such is a comment that leads to the road of Obama, do you really want to "move forward" with debt? "move forward" with the worst economic disaster in modern American history? "move forward" with swindling of your tax dollars? Sending money to overseas, billions and billions, to countries that spit in our faces and burn effigies of everything we stand for?
I declare they both do not suck
I declare Mitt Romney does not suck
Politics in general sucks, turning a straightforward thing into something political generally sucks, but the mortal human being Mitt Romney is literally the one business genius that can and will turn this economic pit of hell upside down, if Romney isn't elected perhaps it will be the president after Obama that begins down that road to recovery, but it in no way shape or form will happen under the Obama administration.
I think Sam Jackson put it best when he said and I paraphrase, "The next 4 years he's gonna do some really crazy sh*t", do you really want to see what that "really crazy sh*t" is going to be? I don't.

Thirteen POTUS's prior to The current POTUS "bypassed Congress" too.
Barack Obama does have the distinction of abusing the device most often, already surpassing his predecessors, in total number, despite the fact that they were two term Presidents.
Even if some magical third party darkhorse candidate emerges at the last second and takes the Presidency, I would imagine that he, too, will likely use this mechanism of bypassing not just the people, but their false representation as well.
When one has to bypass such a corrupt group as Congress??? It makes me shudder.
~Heff
When Obama took office gas was 1.75 Now it's 3.71
Drilling permits under Clinton rose 58%. Under Bush up 116%. Under Obama DOWN 36%
Americas credit rating downgraded for the FIRST TIME IN HISTORY. Lets not forget about that.
Losing half a million dollars on Solyndra. Losing how much else on failing 'green energy' companies?
We get about HALF of our energy from coal. Not only are we closing plants down but Obama has said that if someone wants to open a new one they will "probably go bankrupt" because of his policies
Bypassing congress! This is NOT a dictatorship!
What does Obama do when he doesn't get what he wants?(regardless of having democratic control of both house and senate for his first 2 years) The Dream act is one thing. He wants the hispanic vote... so reform immigration even though it failed.
The Fast and Furious debacle! American citizens wants to know what happened. Why we had an American murdered with a gun supplied by the administration. To use executive power to block everything so we can't see what really happened? What's the matter Mr. President... did you have a hand in that? Is that why you're protecting Holder?
"... but I would rather vote for a new puppet and pray for a new direction than vote for the same puppet and know exactly where we're going.

And yet you missed the biggest reason of all.
Obama believes he can assassinate American citizens without judicial process.
That alone is enough to run him out of office!!!
Frankly, if you must vote for one or the other, I'd rather vote for a potential future war criminal, rather than the one we know we absolutely currently have.
Isn't our current state of affairs just grand?

The definition of STUPID is doing the same thing over and over, and each time expecting a different result.
Voting for the "lesser of two evils" is STUPID. People do it every four years, and then they cry and whine when it's the exact same crap, and vow that they'll vote the guy out and put in a new guy from the opposing party who'll "fix everything"....and then the same exact result occurs.
NO VOTE FOR A THIRD PARTY IS WASTED. Thinking so is utter nonsense. If you vote for the person you truly believe in, whether that person wins or loses, you didn't waste your vote. You don't have to vote for the winner, just vote your conscience. If everybody did that, and stopped with the silly idea that you have to vote for the lesser of two evils, perhaps the creeps in charge will start to get the message that the people aren't buying the two-party lie any longer.
