Your statements are black and white and extreme. We don't live in a black and white world. Also, who made you the judge of who's a "good guy"? That's a ridiculous assertion. Romney and Obama are both good, decent people. But it's not about that. It's about what their policy stances. In addition, it's about what your priorities are. I have a family member who is gay and he plans to vote for Obama for that reason. He happens to be a fiscal and monetary conservative like me and he doesn't like Obama's policy stances on those issues. However, he's still going to vote for Obama. Why? Because the GOP is anti-gay and Obama is pro-gay. It's that simple. 4 years ago, my top priority was renewable energy and our economy. Bush was so bad and McCain was even worse than Bush, so voting for Obama with all his promise was a no-brainer for me. Now, 4 years later, the economy has taken the top spot in terms of priority, because I see a more immediate catastrophe approaching unless we reverse course post haste. Obama will not reverse course. Romney has said he will. So the choice is very clear to me.
