all of 15% of the NBA forum is actually of voting age. thread's moot.

i doubt this, but for the sake of eliminating that problem: the voting age in the state of This Thread is 10

that should raise it to at least 35%, right?

jill stein, if by some crazy mormon miracle romney makes it close in california i'll vote for obamer

but who cares about this election, just remember to vote JAVALE MCGEE/CHIPOTLE BURRITO in 2024

[Freedom Kid7]

Both are puppets to the Banks.
Essentially. I dislike both. I disagree with more of Obama's policies, but I don't like Mitt much either. If I had to pick one I'd go with Mitt.

I still wish Ron Paul was the Republican nominee.

[ImmortalD24]

Eh, Obama has already been selected for a second term. There is no way in hell he looses.. he's already looking like the "peace" candidate in contrast to Romney, and the perceived peace candidate almost always wins.

But iff I had to choose between the two, I'd go with the Mormon.

Reason 1: Chuck Schumer's comment http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=M4tuSbqHViA#t=34s


And I've said this to a couple of Romney supporters who agree, that if the sanctions fail, and military action is warranted, a re-elected President Obama is far more likely to launch that kind of military action, probably in concert with Israel than would Mitt Romney. Because Mitt Romney will be new, he'll have a whole domestic agenda.

Reason 2: The Mormon wouldn't last more than a term

2.1: especially if he starts another global war


Reason 3: Obama is the guy to beat that the establishment wants. Mitt is no different but he'll make the process a bit more difficult for them.

[AK47DR91]

Obama because I'm in favor of Obamacare.
Other reasons: death of Bin Laden, withdrawing troops from Iraq, housing crisis and unemployment seemed to have improved (not 100%).

I'm not political so I don't know too much but those are the few good things I've noticed.

EDIT: Maybe I should cast my vote on this result: http://imgs.isidewith.com/results-image/158445136.jpg :lol

Unemployment hasn't improved, but it never will no matter the dreams the politicians will sell.

[DStebb716]

right on the first, terribly wrong on the second. of course it will improve. why wouldn't it? these things go down, but they also go up. obama has the stuff to help it go up.

Yeah, that's what I thought because there were articles about how skeptical Republicans were about the result.

[Peteballa]

Obama. Not because I'm a huge Obama fan, but I agree with his policies moreso than I agree with Mitt's policies.

[KGMN]

Obama.

lol at people saying Gary Johnson and Ron Paul. Shows a severe lack of intellect, because I seriously doubt you'd support them if you really broke down their positions. Ex: No FDA, no FAA.

Just because I support a candidate doesn't mean I support everything they believe.

You show a severe lack of intellect by assuming that I do.

[midatlantic09]

Obama

[StateOfMind12]

I don't see much of a difference between the two to be honest. Someone could break it down if you like but I doubt you're going to two completely different worlds with one or the other as President.

[Lord Leoshes]

Gary Johnson. The libertarians have it right.

I 2nd that, him or Ron Paul would do but not Ran Paul.
Hell in fact i wold take Jessie the body over the 2 sell out puppets we have to vote for now.

I say 3rd parties should be allowed. But some would wold send their family death treats just like Ross Parow when he was ahead in votes.

The elections are rigged, just look at the little coverage Ron got, while Gary was completely isolated out of all the media.

[LosBulls]

http://www.isidewith.com see who you really side with.
I side with Gary Johnson on most issues in the 2012 Presidential Election.

[BoutPractice]

They are different, and most importantly they'd operate in different contexts.

Romney, while more of a a moderate himself, would have to deal with the Republican base of angry white males. He would soon be perceived as untrustworthy, as he'll have been elected by people whose beliefs he doesn't really share.
He would also be surrounded by more Bush-style neocons.
Finally, lobbyists would regain influence, as would Wall Street.

[MavsSuperFan]

Mitt Romney

Lesser of 2 evils

Im voting for Obama cos i believe he is the lesser of two evils.

Anyways it doesnt matter I live in a deep red state, and Obama is going to get 270 electoral votes easily.

I wouldn't say he'll get 270 electoral votes easily, but he does have much easier path to those 270 electoral votes than Romney.

None of the above, both parties are almost completely bought and controlled by corporate lobby groups. The only thing which is different is that certain economic sectors lean more towards Republicans while other prefer Democrats. It's almost like having an election between Walmart and McDonalds :D.

The choice thou isnt one of distinction, but rather one of degree.

Eg. Not whether we cut entitlements, but rather how much.

Not whether we prosecute Wall Street or not, but about how much we suck up to them.

Not whether healthcare reform controls costs or not, but rather dealing with the symptom of the real problem. (cost controls vs coverage)

How much the corporate tax rate is going to be lowered.

how many countries we will violate and to what extent.

How little action we take to protect/support domestic manufacturing.
etc.

[MavsSuperFan]

I wouldn't say he'll get 270 electoral votes easily, but he does have much easier path to those 270 electoral votes than Romney.

honestly if Obama loses now it would be about the equivalent of the Chargers choke job last night. It could happen, but If I could bet on it, I would bet the House on Obama.

Yes, but 1 party is trying to repeal that while the other is in staunch support of it. If that's your major concern, it's pretty clear cut.

[lakerspng]

they both suck. but the alternative is voting for ... Rosanne Barr? apparently she's on the presidential ticket here in California for the peace and freedom party. ugh. what great choices we have.

[skaterbasist]

Because the FDA, headed by a former Monsanto lawyer appointed by Obama, is no conflict of interest nor just another ineffective government agency, right?

Go ahead and choose between your Giant Douche and Turd Sandwich. :rolleyes:

"Independent voters" are the dumbest fukking people there are.

If you can't see a definitive difference between 2 parties that have opposing views on literally every topic imaginable, then your not a smart, even-handed thinker. You're an indecisive moron who probably doesn't even understand the issues being discussed. :hammerhead:
