[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a republican, moving toward independant. Considering voting for Obama because of the GOP candidate freak show. Guessing Obama will win only because of his public speaking skills. No one can compare to that. His message is awesome but not so much in practice.[/quote]

I think it is perfectly rational for republicans to vote for Obama.   He is a republican.  He supports smaller government and fewer regulations, prefers deficit reduction over unemployment,  and based on the recent debt ceiling debate, he wants to reduce taxes,   The republican choice is between voting for lunatics (Perry, Bachman, Christie) or Obama.   For Democrats or center-left leaning individuals who support radical ideas like the social safety net (social security, medicare, unemployment insurance) and sane financial, environmental, and consumer regulations, we have a tough choice.  If you are like me and think Romneycare/Obamacare is not good enough and that unemployment is our top national issue, then you vote against Obama.

President is too important.  I don't want to settle for something less than what I believe.  I plan to vote third party, if a reasonable candidate runs, or I plan to write-in.[/quote]
