A Political Poll - Just For Fun

[Blackcat31]

Nicely said MN Mom!

I am tired of being a small business owner who is supposedly living the American dream.

Because sadly living the American dream is more of a nightmare because I DON'T have my hand out.

I feel ALOT like Silver said in her earlier post (#40).

Our government system is severely damaged if not totally broken and we really need to stop and **** it up for a while and fix it properly instead of repeatedly using band-aids on things that need complete overhauling. I want my children and their children to have their own issues, not spend their lives cleaning up ours.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned women's issues yet. I expected them to be addressed last night, but unless it happened when I was out of the room, it wasn't. Last night was suppose to be about domestic issues.

No one in this thread has mentioned it either. Sure, finances are important, but so is our health and well-being.

Did anyone else wonder about this?

Honestly, I'm more worried about the economy right now. My husband has been out of work since March so that's what I want to know more about.

Romney.

Guns, anti abortion, anti big government, plus I believe in self sufficiency. Obama has opened the doors for millions more people to "get a piece of their fair share" and either go on food stamps, not pay their loans, stay on unemployment when they really had no plans to go back to work... I could go on forever.

Not sure what you're referencing as far as women's issues go?

The state of the economy is far more important in my mind than anything else and I was relieved to see that seemed to be their priority last night too.

I'll be watching the other two debates but last night was exactly what should have been debated first and foremost IMHO.

Neither should have to pay for other people to do something they believe is morally wrong. Neither should have to pay for something that goes against their religious beliefs.


There needs to be balance of women's reproductive rights AND a protection of individual religious beliefs.

It is not fair or right to sacrifice one for the other.

EXACTLY. Tolerance and respect must go both ways.

My vote is not a vote FOR Romney, but a vote AGAINST Obama.

Me too. I don't feel comfortable with either option. But, it is what it is I guess.

Romney.
anti abortion,

I am not anti abortion...but, I don't have any problem with someone who's religious beliefs state that he IS anti abortion. He isn't going to change abortion laws, he's just Stating his own beliefs.

I hate that people are so fired up about someone (chic fil a) for believing in something they disagree with. It's beginning to feel like "Tolerance for everyone!!! Except Christians"

OOps, BC didn't see you just posted the same exact thing. O well, still agree.

Jumpin on the train.

[spud912]

I'm voting for the one who wants people to take responsibility for their financial mistakes (especially corporations), the person who wants people to be self-motivated to improve their life, who wants to put an end to frivolous government spending (yes, including cutting spending on UN planned parenthood). I shouldn't have to give money to any government-sponsored entity who encourages something I personally believe is morally wrong on every level. Also someone who fights for every American, not just the lower class but middle and even upper.

Well said

I wish that they would put a fact check crawl across the screen when they air these debates. That way we could hear what each candidate says and what the facts are all at the same time. I can't remember the last time I checked up on what a politician said and it was really accurate. Occasionally it's close. Sometimes disingenuous. Oftentimes so far off the mark it's not even funny.

I want to vote Republican. I really, really do. I might even vote for Romney, but what I really want is for the Republican Party to produce a candidate that I would feel good about voting for, rather than ambivalent.
