Gutting the military industrial complex and war money machine and diverting half the trillion we spend to a much better multiplier here at home for the good of Americans is important to me as is energy independence from the middle east, creating 200k+ jobs a month to grow our way out of this mess and policy directed towards a solid middle class squeezed to no end by globalization, technology and the new age wealthy robber baron elites with record wealth disparity. No one comes close to addressing all these issues but total control by the GOP could accelerate faster job growth as they are better at creating housing/credit bubbles and expansion of the military. Is that what you want to address our long term structural problems MM?

After having followed our posts for more than 5 years, I am convinced that you are a very conflicted and impatient person. You are as conflicted as Romney is. Romney is on record as having taken two very opposite positions on several issues unlike Obama who has taken a left of center position consistently. not moderate. You are confused in that you are against the US President making a unilateral decision to eliminate Alwaki and you think that US citizenship gives him the right to a fair trail. But in the same breath, you take issue with Obama not prosecuting another citizen for IMF's Global failure. Do you want Obama order that he kill Corizine like he did with Alwaki? Or do you want Obama to provide Corizine the due process of law? You are confused because you do not comprehend the difference between a lie and failure to accomplish something like many of us do on our jobs. Obama committed to changing things. He has accomplished some and he needs time for others particularly when the Republican and Tea Party have been obstructionist in Congress, the body that has to pass laws under which Obama can execute his promises. He kept many of his promises, some of which are transformational such as the ACA and others like getting Bin Laden, not getting involved/starting wars, ending wars such as in Iraq and now Afghanistan in process (wars started by but deliberately unfinished by his predecessor), reigning in Wall Street (Dodd-Frank) amendment. If he did not give Wall Street a hard time, then why are they coddling up to Romney. They should have contributed more to Obama. Don't be a sissy and run away. SHOW YOUR BALLS AND ANSWER. I have never known you to run away but lately you have been running away from answering tough questions and instead just spitting out right wing nonsense instead. But most of all, I am now convinced that you belong to a group of folks who act with your heart instead of your head. You voted with your heart in 2008. Some of us voted with our head and our heart. So we refuse to be moved that easily. We are not flip floppers. Many of us are immigrants also (Hispanics, Asian Americans etc.) We have first hand experience of what perseverance means and what results it can produce. We think as and for a generation not based on election cycle to election cycle. With regards to Ryan, if his budget was that good then why his Republican colleagues including Romney are running away from his budget proposals and his stand on other political issues. As a matter of fact, now that he is a VP candidate, he is also running away from some elements of his budget by lying (twisting the facts in his budget, not making promises and failing to keep them but deliberately twisting to serve a purpose).
