if I was an American and had to vote in the next election , from what I see the best option would be none of the above. I don't think either one has the balls to be a decent POTUS, or I might vote Libertarian.

None of the above...?

Who's Hunny? If you can back that up with a quote, it might help you redeem yourself from your rather abysmal performance in this thread.

I'd first like to preface this by saying I don't pay as much attention to US politics as Canadian politics, so my knowledge is somewhat limited. My issue with Obama is that he's all talk and little action. His recent announcement that he's personally okay with gay marriage was entirely for election purposes, because he's not actually going to do anything to change it (this is also partly just how the US system works, that most control over these matters is in the states, not the White House).

Romney spends most of his time talking about taking away women's rights (aka human rights), and not nearly as much on issues that actually matter, such as job creation, crime, etc.

I'll reiterate that I don't have vast knowledge of current US politics and if I were an American eligible to vote, then I would do more research and I fully admit that my opinion might change (doubtful, but possible). However at this point I don't think either is good, but I think Obama is just slightly not as bad lol. If I believed in not voting, I would vote for neither, but I do believe in voting so I feel I have to choose the person that screws us over the least lol.

I'm surprised you haven't written your autobiography yet.

I don't know whether the Mormons were right all along, although they are no more right or wrong than the Christians, the Muslims, the Jews etc etc. Adam Smith on the other hand was very much right and was way ahead of his time.

As for the old canard that both parties are the same and in the pockets of corporations etc etc, that is frankly a cop-out used by the intellectually lazy to justify their inability to deal with the issues we are facing in society. While it may be true that previous Republican administrations haven't always been true to their stated economic principles, you have to play the odds. A Republican administration that may go back on some of its promises with respect to fiscal discipline and reducing government is still better than a Democratic administration that has no intention of doing either and will take us further down the path of socialism and ultimately economic ruin. It's happening in Europe right now and America is next if they don't start making changes.

What they say: see above. What they do: protect the rights of their ultra-rich backers at all costs. Democrats? the same, just not as blatant...and without the whacko religious social conservative agenda.

The voters of Wisconsin decisively supported Scott Walker in the recall election and in doing so essentially ratified his program of spending cuts and curtailing of public sector union domination.

Republicans are rallying behind Romney, including an important endorsement today by Rand Paul.

Recent polls show Romney leading in key swing states such as Florida and Ohio, and leading in Michigan of all places.

Even Bill Clinton has made public statements that seem to support Romney and go against positions taken by Obama's administration.

All this suggests that Obama has a real chance of becoming a one hit wonder in November. I for one am pleased to say the least.

Look again. The exit polls in Wisconsin asked if the voters planned to vote for Obama or Romney, and Obama won decisively. Local politics is not national politics, the Wisconsin referendum was along union/anti-union lines, not party lines.

If you want to see what polls show, go to RealClearPolitics.com. It is a good site to see what is really going on without all the spin bullshit being put out by supporters of either party.

The statewide distribution as it currently stands is here. In the race for electoral votes Obama allmost has enough solid or leans to Democratic states. Romney has a long way to go and has to win something like three quarters of the contested states, and in most of those Obama has a slight advantage.

You can see the difference nationaly between Obama and Romney in averaged polls here. Except for a 2 or 3 weeks, Obama has a decisive lead over Romney for the last two years.

Romney's chances of winning the presidency are slim. If the vote was held today he would lose by a big margin.

Try doing research next time, and don't believe what Fox News tells you. We keep hearing this message over and over that Obama is in serious trouble, Obama is going down etc, etc, but the truth is very different and apparently for the last two years he has held a pretty solid lead over the Republican candidate.

Reality is a bitch.
