    With Romney becoming the official Republican nominee and Paul Ryan at his side, who do you other Americans think will win this election? As always, be respectful and follow the rules.

    Of course, everyone's voting Obama because we're all liberal folk.

    Me, I'm a moderate.

    Same. I mean I agree with (note) some of Romney's ideas. But he's just an idiot.

    I don't like anybody that can't balance a federal budget. I think Romney has a better chance than Obama (compare 0.1 to 0.01) at doing so, but no matter who we elect we will be disappointed as things always are.

    You mean Paul Ryan. Ron Paul is way more respectable.

    *Sigh* Why must I have to remind people so very often that THE PRESIDENT DOES NOT CONTROL SPENDING AND TAXES! THAT IS THE JOB OF CONGRESS! LOOK IN THE CONSTITUTION, IT IS RIGHT THERE IN THE FIRST SECTION! Sorry, but I am annoyed with constantly reminding people of that.

    *DOH* I feel like an idiot.

    Just when it seemed like everything was going well for the Republicans...Romney, instead of a picking a better VP nominee than Paul Ryan, picked said candidate, not to mention Todd Akin's words on rape, and to top it off Rush Limbaugh (if he thinks he's so great he should run for office) basically admits defeat on Republican abortion policies by saying "If a democrat asks you why there should be no abortion in cases of rape and incest, don't answer it, it's a trap."

    Anyone who is against gay rights is an automatic no. Get his *** out of here.

    Obama may be making our economy worse, but I'd rather not have to deal with a homophobic president, thank you.

    There is no evidence that America's economy has gotten worse under Obama. It seems people mistake slow growth for a bad thing. Some growth is better than no growth.

    Obama isn't helping anything.

    He is not trying to make a socialist nation. Do you people know anything about actual government? And also, debt is not what hurts us, our DEFICIENT hurts us more. FYI, to find a socialist nation, look at Sweden, or Switzerland, or virtually any other nation in Europe. True Socialism is not the bogeyman hiding in your closet wanting to take away your economy, that is communism. There's a big difference.

    I do know what I'm talking about when I say that Obama is a socialist. 'Free health care' isn't free at all. I could go into a whole lot of detail, but I wouldn't be very nice in my opinion.

    Let's all have a nice long look at this video and not argue about the presidents, and rather how both presidents are going to screw things up.

    I wished. And it isn't just the president's fault about our nation's state. The president actually holds very little power, if you want a scapecoat, look at Congress.

    The president is the one suggesting all of these useless stimulus bills and faulty Universal Health Care bills which will increase our deficient/dept more and more until eventually the value of the dollar equals less than Japan's yen.

    You may deny it now, but if things continue like this, we may as well kiss our United States of America goodbye, replaced with the United Soviet States of Amerrika.

    And where is your proof that these things 'don't work' and decrease the value of the dollar? There is evidence that the stimulas package worked (ie: Romney trying to take credit for it. Economists saying it was the right thing, etc.) And ACA hasn't even been enacted yet so we can not see how it will affect us.

    Before this gets out of hand, lemme just say that Obama assumed presidency at the worst possible time. You gotta remember all the terrible **** Bush did.
