Iam not an American and can not vote on your upcoming election but I wondered who I would vote for if I was and after reading alot on this site and watching the debates I have decided I would have to vote Obama why? for only one reason Mitt is a Mormon and a Christian.
Now I expect a few people being miffed with me so I will explain...
Church and Government supposed to be seperate but it appears to me Mitt will not be able to separate his religious beliefs from the job of running his nation.
To me anyone who really believes in Mormonism is bat S**t crazy, have you read the stuff they think is true?
Also any President who is such a religious Christian will try and bring in the end of times just to prove the Bible is correct.
Heck maybe a little out there but come on this is ATS lol.

I feel sorry for the election system in the US you have 2 guys who will do nothing for the country but cause misery for its people.
It is the same here in the UK, I couldn't vote for either of our muppets who run each of our parties.
You guys shoulda voted for Ron Paul at least he seemed a little honest and caring lol.

So what do you other non US people think eh?

Ron Paul!!

It was quite clear that Romney Cheated his way into the GOP nomination in the first place

It doesn't really matter as they're just some well paid pawn for others so just stick some faces on a dice and whoever comes up gets the job

Just because the monkey is off your back doesn't mean the circus has left town- George Carlin

The world should be able to vote on who gets into power in America as whatever America does seems to effect the whole world.

In saying this, I really don't care who get's in. I dislike Romney for his religious stance and I really don't find Obama all that flattering with him turning the other cheek on Guantanamo.

I love the American elections, actions speak louder than words yet they have spent over 700 million dollars on campaign advertising.

It's nice to see someone cling to something they feel so strong about, but it will never do them justice.

So much for a democracy.

So much for a right to vote.

So much for your rights to bear arms.

As your rights will be stripped from you in elections to come.


Come what may,
-SoS-

Lol Ron Paul is just a Republican disguised as a Libertarian.

He would still strip the rights of gays to form civil unions, and would leave almost everything to the states.

G'day Boymonkey
Thanks for the opportunity to "pseudo vote" in the US elections


I would have to agree with you re Romney for the same reasons along with what I see as the GOP candidates seem to be more hawkish than the Dems. I also feel that Obama, even though he comes across as polite and respectful, hasn't gone far enough with his promises (ha, that's a good one - politicians keeping promises.

But that said. I have always been impressed with Ron Paul's speeches both inside and outside of their parliament.

Thinking of how people here on ATS seem to want "something to happen" all of the time, I guess the best candidate would really be Romney as his election would probably guarantee "something to happen" in the mid east.

One thing that does concern me was the gaffe that Obama made when his mic was still on at some UN meeting when he was talking with the russian representative I think and he said something about "wait until I get in for my second term". That sounded ominous imo.

To finish, I think Isreal will bring things to the boil soon in the mid east no matter what happens in the US elections.

Always love the chance to practice my German. By the way, if the world were polled on the US election, Obama would win in a landslide.

(Not actually German, clearly)

ETA; mit Mitt means with Mitt in German. I'm freakin clever.
