Would I have preferred another candidate Yes but this is who we have and he definitely is better than what we have. I will post soon as I get chance WHY I believe this country has been changing towards socialist probably since the 1960's so please keep an eye out for it. To be informed, watch and READ everything you can get your hands on. Go try Civil Discourse but also try the Tea Party and then you can make a better informed decision!!! Put on CNN (if you must) but then switch to FOX for same amount of time and you will come to realize who is right. CNBC just look at the way they EDIT all their soundbites etc.. and then turn on Fox and see the way the WHOLE segment is played out in reality. Good Luck and remember your values. What is important to you. I do NOT want the government telling me what I HAVE to do, to buy, to eat, etc....I want the FREE America we grew up in for our children and them to have the opportunities we had to be successful in Life.
I was right with you until you mentioned that socialism/communist claptrap. By your definition Governor Romney is just as much the "socialist/communist" as Obama. And THAT is what I like about him. This country cannot exist on the pure capitalist model some folks get orgasmic about. Be open minded enough to admit that there are many good reasons for a good strong government to exist. We must have law and order, regulate the greedy and give some assistance to the less fortunate. All of that falls under your dreaded 'socialism/communism' spectre, and that's just completely missing the forest for the trees.
I also cringe at the tone of your many posts about this. It is very threatening, dripping with hate and frustration. It actually sounds violent, and we have far too much of that. Our wisest founding fathers, totally frustrated with British rule, still wrote and protested with well developed logical reasoning, not with wild-eyed emotions.
