I think I'm going to vote for Romney.
I know I'll feel slightly bad about myself if I do though. ._.

wat do?

What about voting for some other guy? Hahaha...don't get me started on Romney -.- Don't you live in Ohio?

@FSM

I saw that in another thread not too long ago lol

[Ruto]

Maybe it was on facebook...I don't actually remember, but I saw it XD

[Dude]

Don't you live in Ohio?

Rural Ohio, so Republicans galore.

Probably doesn't matter who I vote for anyway, there's about an 80% chance Romney will win in my county.

Are you voting for him for new fiscal policies?

Yes.

[SuperFireKirby]

So.... what are Romney's fiscal policies? Because I literally haven't anything concerning what Romney actually plans on DOING if he becomes president. He just says stuff like "We're America and we need to get back on track by working hard and being free and cupcakes!". Sure, that's nice, but what the hell does this "get back on track" plan entail? He refuses to give details.

Oh, except for nice little part about how he doesn't give a shit about 47% of Americans. There was PLENTY of detail in that plan.

But seriously, I would actually consider voting for him if I had any idea of what the fuck he would do.

[spitllama]

The 47% comment was referring to voters. He wasn't saying he didn't care about them as individuals, but that they're set on voting for Obama so he shouldn't try to sway their opinion. Granted he was very harsh about their opinions, but meh, it was red meat for potential donors.

Romney's plan is pretty typical actually- lower welfare, deny funding for new gov. programs, reduce federal workforce, reduce foreign aid, privatize gov. programs, repeal Obamacare, repeal Davis-Bacon act, etc. which he hopes will lower the budget by $500 billion.

While I like a lot of this, I'm honestly considering voting Gary Johnson just to make a statement. Not like Oregon's becoming red anytime soon anyhow. And Romney's still for taxes and foreign involvement... to which I say nay.

[DrP]

^and starting with the next tax year, the medical deduction will go from 7.5% to 10% floor, the inability to deduct state and local income taxes/sales taxes and the Long Term Capital Gains tax (currently at 0 and 15% depending on your tax bracket) will be taxed like ordinary income (wages)

So all this stuff that Romney says about reducing deductions and not raising taxes... it's already going to happen.

I just say, throw out the Internal Revenue Code and create a standard, flat 20% consumption tax with special "credits" to those who make less than $30,000 a year so that they can recapture the amount for purchasing food and stuff (hahaha Parks and Rec...)

And Gary Johnson... he's got New Mexico's vote...

But I'm still going Romney. It's hard to live in this dumb two party system... it's basically choosing the lesser of two evils.

We need another 1990s with a less sleazy Bill Clinton who is like Ayn Rand and Adam Smith combined... yeah, that'll fix out country...

Seeing a politics-topic on a forum with mostly Americans, this is the only opinion I got

[Ruto]

Omg I've tried looking for that clip

I mentioned it before several times too xD

[SuperFireKirby]

Obama has recruited God to narrate his commercials. Mitt Romney has lost the election.
