nobody can give me an EDUCATED answer as to why they'd vote for either candidate. where would one be EDUCATED on the candidates? the media???

If that were true ocommie would get 100% of all votes because the news kisses his disgraceful ass

not sure just how educated this answer is. I am willing to try a different approach to correcting this economy. It has been slowly but steadly slipping down hill since the last term of bush. I honestly do not believe that obama's staff and or appointees know what their doing as far as economics. I do not know if rummy can do any better but I am will to try. Like ob say, "we tried it their way..." well to me, we have tried it his way and it does not seem to be working.

I do not like rummy but I'm voting GOP. I'm not voting for him, I'm voting against ob.
Let me mention here, I am a life long Demo.

like I said we are lazy..not all media likes Obama (fox)

anybody who would venture an EDUCATED answer for why he/she will vote for a particular candidate will find an EDUCATED one who favors the oposition who will say that the answer proves that he/she never graduated kindergarden.

Romney scares the bejeebers out of me. I have my reasons but I won't bother going into them because it doesn't matter. My Republican friends have become like a cult. Some have become rude and insulting if you don't share their views and they don't even want to hear anything that goes against what Rush Limbaugh decides they should think. I guess it's a lot easier to let Rush do your thinking for you.

I don't mind one party saying our guy is better than your guy--that's politics--but what astounds me is the Repub hypocriscy and they don't see it, or more likely, they refuse to admit it. For example, when Reagan bailed out Chrysler in the 80's, the Repubs said it was a briliant economic move, saved the economy, saved jobs, saved the company, saved the suppliers, blah, blah, blah. But when the Dems recently bailed out the auto companies, all of a sudden it's socialism, let the companies fail, let the free market decide, blah, blah, blah. The repubs seem to like the free market... until something goes wrong--then it's why doesn't or why didn't the government do something? Why did the government let those banks, insurance companies, brokerage houses, etc., make those risky investments, blah, blah, blah. So if the Repubs bail out a company it's brilliant economics but if the Dems do it, it's socialism. I think Jesus said somewhere in the bible that hypocrites are a**holes. Maybe he didn't use those exact words, but I'm sure that's what he meant and it probably got lost in translation.

Communism could be the best thing for America. People need put there guns down and stop being so greedy and lazy.

Before long, we will need our guns to go out to hunt and kill our food.

We're not in a depression. It's not sunshine and summertime, but go to your local mall and tell me if we're in a depression. I think the economy has changed. Statistically less people are working than they were before Obama took office, but I think alot of people have already started to adapt. I am very proud of a lot of my friends. A lot of the people I graduated with are now working for themselves. I don't think the people working for themselves are counted in the unemployment rate.

People do what they do and they survive. And it turns out alot of people aren't merely surviving they are thriving. By taking complete personal responsibility and putting to use their talents they are not only surviving this slow economy they are really doing well. I see the roots of our new economy taking shape. Its going to be us young ambitious people putting their talents to good use. And by doing that we are going to create the jobs in the future.

You are right about one thing. A depression today would be a disaster. Especially when most people live on less than a half an acre of land and a house that can't function without electricity etc....

But I don't share your pessicissism about our economic future. I am doing very, very well. Things are getting better. I know places in california, nevada or florida aren't really seeing it, but the rest of us are getting it together.

The economy is terrible for women over the age 55, black people, ex-cons and its still rough for people under 30.

From what I see, there are alot of people starting businesses. I know 1 in 3 of those businesses will fail statistically their first year, but thats not the point. The point is 1 in 3 will survive, and they will create jobs.

So f**k this election, f**k romney, f**k obama.....we will turn this shit around ourselves.

Obama has been a train wreck and Romney is a joke. How can somebody take both sides of an issue and still be taken seriously? Who knows what he believes? F**k em' I'll do fine without either one of them.

Yea, its wrong to blow that kind of money on failure. The answer in all this green technology will not come from blowing billions on def**kt companies. Some tech guy messing around in his garage will come up with a brilliant idea. Its always some creative genius that comes along with ideas that are revolutionary and changes the way we all live.


Unless govt messes it up. There is a guy in New Jersey who had figured out to store solar power in huge batteries. I don't remember all the details, but basically it was a crude way of storing large amounts of solar energy. The problem with solar is its hard to store the energy. He cracked the code so to speak. But days before he went public with it Chris Christy himself ordered the operation to be shut down. I read this in popular mechanic magazine. Keep in mind this guy wasn't bothering anyone, and this was in his own back yard. Not only was he shut down, his home was confiscated and he recieved a 500,000 fine. Basically, to me, it tells me they destroyed a man who had some means to get this idea out there. And also keep this in mind, all this technology, and he had less that 35k in the project. Thomas Edison and Henry Ford wouldn't stand a chance today.

Sure, maybe. Or the fact he was producing enough electricity that the electric company had to cut him a check each month. Special interests get involved and the little guy gets snuffed out. Its wrong.
