You are voting for Romney for two reasons, neither of which makes sense: 1) You have a right wingers mind set and cannot seem to see outside it, despite all the education you have received here. .You are in your own mental cage, just like the Islamic, Christian, or any other woman, who choose to endure brutality and remain subservient, for dogmatic amorphous reasons even they do not even understand. 2) You do not understand how power works, who has it, and how it will manifest. The plutocrat's Romney will empower will rape us and greatly endanger us, and I can see you are totally blind to this. Obama is a good guy and Romney is not. Obama is a smart guy and Romney is not. Obama is a great tactician and Romney is not. Obama aspires through logic and Romney aspires through lying and trickery. All I can say is: "forgive him father for he knows not what he does". <<Well, some of us feel that this country is already being raped. Bernanke is literally destroying our wealth and giving what remains to the banks and is most likely funneling money to Europe as well to save their banks. He is the epicenter of the economic issues in this country. I know I won't convince folks on this thread of that, but it doesn't matter. I'm going to vote to get rid of him and that means a vote for Romney.
