[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am.  I'm registered as a Dem but have voted Republican in the past.  I'm socially liberal - pro-choice, pro-gay marriage, etc.  I'm also for the death penalty, believe in a strong and active military, and think the government is too involved in people's day-to-day lives.

I'm frustrated with the lack of change and the excuses being made by team Obama, but some of Romney's comments disgust me (though my conservative husband claims they're taken out of context.)

Those undecided, how are you feeling?[/quote]

I feel exactly the way you do.  I guess it's a question of degrees of importance.  I attach a high level of importance to pro-choice.  I think that under the Dems we've had a strong and active military and I've been surprised at how well Obama (and Hillary) have done on international affairs.  I agree that govt is too involved in our lives; I am most worried about Patriot Act type suspension of constitutional rights.  Which I think will be bad whomever wins.

I think we've had a problem in this country for a long time now with the concentration of wealth in the hands of an elite.  I don't think society can sustain that without, frankly, ending up with severe civil unrest.  Which would undermine my nice cozy six figures and house in the burbs of FFX.  It's in my best interest to make sure people don't starve because they are unemployed or disabled or too old to work.  I think that the Romney committment to cutting taxes for the rich and cutting programs for everyone else will exacerbate this problem.

I feel that I don't really like either candidate but Obama is the lesser evil.  "Kick the can down the road" re: Palestine and Israel indeed.  [/quote]
