[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To start... please no polarization and vitriol. If you want to go there, start your own thread. I am looking for meaningful replies.

I am one of those undecided voters. I voted for Obama in 2008. I am disappointed - but I don't blame Obama. First, he inherited a HUGE mess (but he knew what he was inheriting... it was no secret). Second, the Republicans have blocked a lot of legislation to get the economy back on track (block and blame game).  That said... if Obama is reelected, what will change?  Will the Republicans stop the block and blame game? Part of me hopes they'll see the light and do what is right for all of us, but I know they are politicians and out to protect their party above representing their constituents.
So, there's Romney. He is not to responsible for or involved in the block and blame game (although Ryan is culpable). He has business acumen. He is an executive leader that knows how to make tough decisions that may be unpopular but the right thing to do. He knows how to get people to come to consensus in order to move forward.
I want to vote for Obama out of principal - he's been trying, and the economy would not be as bad if the Republicans had not played a political game with our future in the hopes of winning the White House this year. But.... 
I want to vote for Romney so this economy will turn around.
What matters more - principal, or the economic vitality of the U.S.?

I think Romney's "business acumen" is to buy struggling companies, leverage them to the hilt, and pocket the profits. Is this what he has in mind for America?

The entire private equity business model is built on debt. Why should we give him the keys to our Treasury? I'm being serious.[/quote]

I know you're being serious.  However, there's more to Romney than Bain Capital. Do more than listen to political rhetoric on his work history.

Oh yes, there's also the SLC olympics, where he got billions of fed. $ (more than any other US games) to put on an athletic competition-- and leave his buddies with millions of $ worth of infrastructure improvements.[/quote]
