koan,
honestly, I don't think Romney will be much better. I think there are some things that Romney will do that I will like. For example, chief among them, is that he'll replace Bernanke with someone who is more conservative in their use of monetary policy. He also has a good head for business and will be more business friendly. But that's a double edged sword. He may loosen regulations, which is NOT what we need. In addition, he will be more warlike and will increase military spending, which we definitely don't need. Lastly, he will curtail a lot of the progress Obama made on renewable energy.
So as always, faced with two parties which each have policy positions I agree and disagree with, I have to prioritize what I want most. Right now, I want Bernanke gone most of all. Therefore, my choice is simple. I must vote for Romney to get that. |
